Re: Reusing Models

Is it possible to use old models from 3ds Max and have them translate to Maya?

Re: Reusing Models

Yes, it's possible to use old models. Try exporting them as a .fbx. If you're using 3ds Max 2010 it's under export. Then it should open right up in Maya.

Re: Reusing Models

The only drawback to reusing models is that the students may not get a good grasp on good modeling and texturing. I discourage students reuse the models unless they made them the themselves because I feel its important that they understand good modeling techniques, but thats just me.
Good luck everyone.
