I have yet to demo this thing but they have been swearing up and down that there will be no export formats or conversion programs. Its supposed to be customized for games...ie a quake version to only export md1, md2, md3, .bsp files. Also its animation ability is supposed to suck...this is a huge cripple wear thing. Its nice b/c it allows you learn max, but lets face it..I would rather learn miari or maya if I am going to take the time to learn a new program :) I cant wait for carrara 2.0 so I can do some character animation....then I wont be looking at other apps so much :)
