exchanging 3d files

CrazyButcher

wondering how you handle 3d file exchanging within your studios.
while likely you might use a combo of more, please specify which you use in most cases.

I use OBJ for going between Max and Maya, and 3DS for going between Max and Lightwave.
Ideally there'd be a single format that all programs imported/exported in the same way, but it seems even FBX doesn't manage that.

Ideally I'd use an LWO exporter for Max, but one hasn't existed since Max4

OBJ FTW

We use obj for meshes between 3d apps, fbx for animation between max and motionbuilder, custom format out of max to the engine.
