So when I try to load your XAF file, it says it wants to use "Plane002" and your scene has "Plane003". So if I map 002 to 003 the file loads, but there is no animation. I guess your object was modified after you saved the animation. If I simply save the baked animation right after I open the file, then everything works…
Agree i am also closely looking at Houdini future iterations and once they really match the modeling capacity of max i will gladly switch for 299$ a year you cannot go wrong!
In your first example you could always texture it in a 1:2 scale instead of 1:1.

It assumes or creates the situation in which an indie artist (freelancer or someone working on their own) can take advantage of software that usually has studio…
