Exporting SWF files from Max

Soccerman18 · Jan 2006

Are there any plugins for Max that will export swf files? I know about swift 3d, but are there any others? I can take the long way of doing it, export mov file, import into aftereffects, then into flash, but I'm looking for a more direct route that render an animation in a non-cartoony way to an swf file.

i went looking for this sort of thing a while back

the closest i ever got was importing a drawing from flash into max. i'd be curious to know anything if you figgure it out..

what would totaly rock would be exporting to swfs in vectors..

there's an illustrate plugin that works really well for cartoony type stuff, but I haven't had much luck getting it to do non-cartoony stuff.

Yeah...
You understand right that rendering photorealistic stuff to vector makes the render HUGE in size.

I've had great luck with the 'Illustrate!' plugin. It's nice!

I seem to remember there being something that came out with the release of Max 6 or 7. I thought it was an actual discreet product though. I can't find anything like that on the Autodesk site now.

Toomas: yea, but it can be compressed later. Flash is used a lot here at work and I'm just trying to find a more direct path between Maxd and flash and hopefully get some better results.

Slum: have you been able to get it to output photorealistic renders? I've gotten some really nice cartoony renders out of it, but things get borked when I try to get it to do realistic shading and textures.
