top of the morning chaps n chapesses - Hope yer all suitably saturated with coffee this fine wet mornin (well - at least it is in the toon!)
quick question I'm hoping someone can help me out with here. We've done an animation in Maya and we wanna use polytrans to convert the animation to Max but we're having a few problems.
The first is that polytrans is importing it okay but is sampling the animation at every frame so the data is quite high.
Secondly, we used the polytrans keyframe optimisation tools and have had quite a play but it just isn't giving the results we need.
I need to know what type of Rotation Interpolation I should be using in Maya to convert it neatly to Max?
Should I be using Independent Euler-Angle Curves, Synchronised EulerAngle Curves or Synchronised Quaternian Curves? Max surely uses one of these but I aint quite sure which!
I was told that polytrans samples every frame because of the difference in Rotation Interpolation.
If anyone can help me out on this matter It'd be really appreciated and I'll send you a NurbSphere as a present!
cheers

ps:
dont be surprised to find this query on other parts of the website and other websites for that matter!!! :D
