Yeah, it seems the "no, ours is better" argument/grudge between software manufacturers causes more headaches for those studios using multiple apps because of each one's particular strengths. I use XSI (Foundation) and C4D for modelling, and bring it/them into Vue5Inf for layout and render because it's just simpler and I'm comfortable with the lighting tools (though I may start doing all my renders in C4D soon). Many studios have some version of production pipeline that goes something like (just an example) model and texture in app#1 (because it's fantastic for that), then import into app#2 for rigging (better/quicker tools for that), then finally bring into app#3 for animation and render (because this one has the best mocap tools around, and the best rendering plug-ins around!). And under normal circumstances the 3 apps don't play nice with each other. Yeah, it'd be nice if they sat down, realizing this, and came up with a standardized coding they could all share for both models and UV coordinates. -Lew
