Maya users heads up.

THe Maya DirectX exporter exports as a RAW uncompressed X file. If you export from maya as .x and import into milkshape then export again to directX, you will half your file size.

Interesting Butter. You guys have no check for compressed or uncompressing?

Just wondering.... why would you want to go from Maya to Milkshape? Can't FPSC read the format Maya exports directly?

FPSC should read .X ascii no problem, DBPro can handle it. Quite a handy format if you need to change a texture, as you can just load it into notepad. I'm guessing Milkshape only exports in compressed .X format.

Yeah, FPSC reads Maya .x exports fine. it's just that theyre LITERALLY twice the size. I made a generator thingy, that weighed in at 1.1mb from a maya export. Same one from Milkshape, 514kb.

Maybe there's something I'm missing (the exporter isn't very well documented).

Butter, have you tried asking this question(cause I'm not sure if you have to use a plugin which may not be covered by Maya forum) in a setting like CG society, or something of that ilk where you have many professionals around with many of the same size concerns even if not for a gaming engine?

Terry had a similar problem with whatever software he(or other contributers) used for the walls in Signs4. The walls were extremely bloated in comparison to the arch wall I did for him.
