2 XSI/Maya info transfer questions :

 

1 – Any way to transfer Maya particles to XSI. We have a Maya particle simulation using instances that we would like to light and render in XSI. Any easy way to transfer them or do I need to write my own tool to do it?

 

2 – Any way to transfer XSI/Mental Ray lights and shaders from XSI to Maya? It’s for the same problem. We figure that worst case scenario, we set-up our lighting/textures/shaders in XSI and then transfer them into Maya for rendering.

 

We would much prefer option 1 as we have much more XSI licenses then Maya licenses but I’m curious about both. Any tools and/or options I should know about??

 

Thank you in advance.
