Fully custom model animation with MAYA...
Well i am relitavely new to the scene, but i feel i'm pretty set in terms of the basic film-making and FX (color and chromo keying, set movements, ect.) but i want to move out of the box.
Wowmodel viewer is awesome, it gives you complete creative control that would otherwise be impossible, but it lacks one thing; complete freedom. you are limited to Blizzard's animations only, you can't make a more realistic "point". This forces directors to be creative, which is great, but it's like drawing the mona lisa with three colors in a GIF format. tell me, what exactly must i do to export wowmodelviewer characters into a format that MAYA will recognize? I'd tried all the given file types (3dmax, milkshake, ect), but maya can't open a single one of them. Maya is very popular, so i'm sure at least one of you guys has had this problem as well, so please share your knowledge! |

MAYA is used for more realistic 3D animations while 3D Studio Max is for more cartoony kind of animations.

I'm afraid the only plugins to do this are for 3DMax/GMax and in my experience they don't actually seem to work (well, they do if you mess with them to the point of wanting to tear out your hair, but even then they imported models have so many problems they're beyond useful).
