Yes thanks Lucas, very useful.
Seeing as you seem to know quite a bit about the insides of the max
exporter, have you come across any problems/solutions using ponytails?
We've got a model with one ponytail link which exports fine but when we
have two links it messes up the vertices in the ponytail bit of the
model.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Pascal.
