If you have acces to RealFlow you can import the maya particles there and then read the Realflow particles inside XSI...

The bad thing is that the maya particles script loader inside RealFlow is "slow as hell", but at least Maya has that option.

It would be lovely to have such script to read XSI particles inside RF, any scripter see an easy way to do it?

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.
