Ogre Forums

Hi! all.
I'm just new here! I just want to make a game.
I use Maya to build my model. But I found the tool is not well support Maya for I met a lot of problem. There also so little support in the forum.
But I found 3dmax is well for ogre.

Can you tell me which one is better for ogre? Or is there any help for Maya?


Thanks!

I think you just answered your own questions: yes, there are more max users than maya users.
Also consider using Blender, as it has excellent Ogre support.

Dont give up on maya, i heard that there is a new version coming.

You might also try using LFA exporter; http://www.lfagames.com/help.htm

Although oFusion (for max) is looking sweet like a candy!

The "official" 3D editor after all is Softimage XSI (Sinbad is writing the reference exporter for this), which I can recommend very much. It's quite cheap compared to maya and max (450 Euro net.). Take a look at it, there is a free demo, it may be the right choice for you.

I'll be posting a new Maya exporter this evening courtesy of Bisco.

If you find any bugs please let me know so I can fix them

well, not only bugs, I mean any kind of problem or new feature you would like to see in the next update of the exporter...

BlendShape support.
Great work btw, on the exporter.

hehe I'm working on it. The fact is the best way to implement blend shapes might be using special hardware shaders (like in n-vdia's demo).

b.t.w.: I just realised there's a bug in the exporter, it doesn't work when you try to export multiple skeleton hierarchies. Already fixed and posted on cvs, I'll make a couple of other fixes and repost the binaries (silly me, should've tested a bit more before releasing )
