hi,
first i want to say hello to all of you. i own a small production company in switzerland, producing animation, industry viz and augmented reality apps.


i have added XSI Essentials to my pipeline 3 days ago and i am a complete noob on XSI. i am used to work on 3DS since 3DS R2 DOS.

my main interest is to combine both, XSI and 3DS, to pipe characteranimation data from XSI to 3DS and modelling (NURBS/POLYS) data from 3DS to XSI (and of course frickle on some mapping/modelling issues in zBrush).

i wondered if some of you use 3DS and XSI side by side too and can share some of their production experience to get me on track on how you use the pipeline and what toolset is needed for it.

i just installed colladaMax and was able to share some data (ok, most of it where messed up). so i think colladaMax could be a start. but what are your thoughts?

thank you for any hint,
Daniel

PS: it is my first run on mailinglists as well, so if i made something wrong.... i am still learning ;)
