Hi folks! I'm just wondering if anyone has any tips for importing maya (4.5) animations into Flash MX? I can't afford the upgrade to Maya 5 and I'd like to import short animated clips into a flash movie.

I know that I could do it via Quicktime and/or AVI with After Effects, but what I'm wondering is if anyone knows what format will give me the best quality. When I import into Flash, the Sorenson codec seems to knock down the quality a bit, and I wondering if there are any workarounds/tweaks I might apply?

Thanks for reading! :thumbsup:

Well, I know of a plug-in called Swiffworks, it exports directly to SWF in vectors.
But I'm not sure about the pricing - other than that I only know of Maya 5... but let me tell you, the exporter in Maya 5 is VERY good...
