Claymation 600 posts14 May 2008At work here we rig and animate in maya, and model, texture, light and render and everything else in lightwave. So after the animation is done in maya, we use a plugin called Point Oven to bake out the geometry information into MDD files. Then we load up the object in lightwave, load the mdd, and voila!
I'm sure you could do the same thing with 3ds Max. It's not baking curves or anything though, it's the actual geometry. -
14 May 2008ROFL on the name Point Oven
but with baked geometry its a bit hard to make any changes :S
you have to export it again :S -
14 May 2008thanks for the help clay, altho unfortunately it looks like the licenses are 100$ each, which is beyond my price range at the moment

Claymation 600 posts14 May 2008well making changes is no problem, it takes just a couple minutes to export a scene.
And yeah ben, it isn't the best for individuals I guess. -
15 May 2008i'm gonna try and haggle the guy on a non-profit price for students
