David,

 

You can go via OBJ, or I believe, the point oven PSC scene file format to get the mesh into Maya.  Also, if I recall correctly, the Maya PO plug-in includes a LWO reader.

Looks good. I had forgotten about that.

At first glance, I'm worried that I don't seem to have a way to get lwo, emdl, mdd into Maya, which is my purpose.

Anyway, I'll look into it. Thanks Andre.

David,

Have you looked into Point Oven?

It's a point caching tool that is included in XSI 5.1, and there is a

plug-in for Maya also.

This would be very fast to work with.

Right. That's what I'm going to do, but since duping is so slow, I was 

hoping for some workaround. Like exporting from the Shape Manager. 

Somethin cool like that.

Does anyone know of a faster way to export dozens and dozens of

(facial)

shapes out of xsi other than:

duplicate single (standard options)

freeze the dup

export to .xsi or .obj

turn on a different shape, repeat.

Thanks,
