Hi all,

I am trying to get export of models from Maya 6.5 and then subsequent
import into Performer to work. As of yet I have not been able to find a
method that works at all well. Among the most promising methods that
could work in theory is with the pfbExporter, as it provides support the
most advanced features of the possibilities I've found. While it's
availability on only Windows is a slight problem, the bigger problem is
that Maya 6.5 won't load the exporter at all, binary incompatibility it
says. For you SGI guys, is there any plan on having either the mel code
available or the compiled exporter for the most current Maya software?

Anybody know any other way to get this working, outside of purchasing
Polytrans? The Openflight exporter doesn't seem to handle instances or
hierarchal models. The iv2 exporter mangles the transformations even
for simple scenes in a seemingly random manner and when loaded into
Performer the scene graph is really mangled also.

Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
Kris
