Hi everyone,

Does anyone who's Cinema and Maya savvy know if there's a way to take a character mesh animated in Cinema, import that into Maya, use Maya Cloth to do the cloth simulations, and then export the animated cloth mesh back into Cinema again to complete the character?

Just wondering, since cloth simulation is neither available or in development for Cinema.

Thanks!
Brent

I believe this will be possible once the fbx format is available to Cinema.

In the meantime, you might want to drop an email to David Matthews (see link below). He has created a bridge tool to swap files (projects) between C4d and LW and he had mentioned other app support in the works. Perhaps he has one for Maya waiting in the wings?

Guess you´d have to e-mail Helge about the plug-ins - or I just forgot where they are
