im not sure in what context he is asking, but what can you tell me ... being the "flash king and all"
Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Tell him, it´s quite difficult, and it´s not worth it.
(since archives tend to go up in Kbs quite fast when playing with 3d.)
He could actually try to create a 3d engine with Flash´s ActionScript, but I doubt that in this case.

However Mike, that would be the Shockwave Exporter, and that one is for Director, it could be used to try to get a *swf file out of it, but working with Director seems to be .. welll ... actually a bit monotonous and difficult (in my case anyway). I don´t know how would you do it though. Perhaps there´s a better way?Originally posted by mtmckinley

At the moment, Swift3D is probably the closest thing that might work with Maya in some small way.
(export models and/or animation to dxf or obj into Swift3D standalone)
The way that I would suggest untill a vector .swf output plug is available for Maya, is to use a toon shader on a movie running no more than 30 fps, then import those frames into Flash, and choose "Trace Bitmap".
Check the Flash docs for the settings.
Sory I couldn't be of more help.
I usually just render my shots, and bring them right into Flash as movieClips, and keep the shots less than 4 seconds long.
I suck when it comes to vectorizing my bitmaps

Yeah, I can't wait till theres a direct plug from Maya to Flash.
Then I'll make some good money for once
