Hi,

I am rather new to modelling, I am rather good at 3dsmax now but still a long way to go; lots of things to learn.

However, I have a question. I like the modelling interface in 3dsmax but I prefer certain dynamic features in Maya, such as water dynamics etc.

How can I model in 3dsmax, and then use Maya to make water - without losing textures + lighting and any other characteristics of my work from 3dsmax. And then render it all together?

I don't even know if this is possible so that's why I am asking. All answers appreciated.

Thanx in advance,

Vision

Well that's easy (in theory). Just do the stuff you can in 3Ds max and then in MAya. REnder in their own renderer and use a composition software to combine them together. Just make sure your camera and light setup are the same in both packages. And you will need to know how to use the Matteing too in both app.
