Hmmm.... check into what you can do with .obj files for export. When you export the obj file check the I think its "frames" (or something like that) number. if it it's the same as the number of frames in your animation it probably holds the animation info for the model there. similarly there should be a separate file refering to where the textures are kept when exporting as an obj. Providing the motion information is in the obj, theortically you then might be able to convert the wavefront obj info to 3ds or whatever in another app. I'd like to know what you find out as eventually I'm gonna try the same thing. - TJ
