Hi Slimz…
Maya to Animanium works pretty well right now. I believe the english documentation that Imosan spoke about comes with the plugins.
Though, I have spoken with the good people at Animanium about it…their documentation for these plugins is a bit technical…and they have assured me that something is being done about it.
The only crappy thing with these plugins is that they dont work with Maya 6 yet…which would make it an amazing duo considering how easy it is to animate in Animanium, and then re-map your animation to any other character with Maya 6’s cool new character mapping tools.
I love this program.
If you email support at animanium, they will mail you the beta plugins for Maya 6 which do indeed work. I’ve been checking out the demo and testing the whole Maya to Animanium workflow. It’s definately got a shorter learning curve than MotionBuilder but I’m still digging .fbx more so far. Animanium certainly “feels” japanese. It’s small, simple and efficient. Reminds me of their automobiles.
