I am trying to export an animation from maya to .x using the maya to .x exporter. the problem i am having is that even thought the animation is going really fast in maya, it moves really really slow in dbpro. any suggestions are appreciated.

doesn't help. the max object speed of 100 is still too slow. i just don't get it. the animation is almost blurring in maya and then in dbpro it is molasses time.

There's probably an option in maya which creates new key frames to maintain the spline style animation in a linear animation output. That probably made no sense. Basically, have a look for checkboxes when you output the model or in maya preferences that mention something about keyframes or objectframes - in particular, increasing them. Then switch it off. Just a guess, but I reckon maya is adding many more keyframes to mimick spline interpolation.

thanks for the help guys.

I don't know exactly what the deal is but when i imported the same file that was slow in my own prog, into the DBpro fps example it worked fine.
Maybe I just don't know how to sync it right or something.

Oh and I was wondering if someone could explain how appending animation works. Is it the same file renamed that you append and tell it to loop different frame sections or is it possible to append different files? I keep getting an error saying something like "you can only "add" animation".

Is there a difference in appending data and what animation data works between DBC and DBPro?

Thanks in advance for any help.
