Re: Normal Map Banding
Wow, wierd, you might want to talk to Aria Chai He wrote the perl script I used to export the objs from modo: http://forums.luxology.com/discussion/topic.aspx?id=41509 That said, I imported those objs into maya and they looked fine.

Re: budget software?
I'd second the Silo full version. As far as 3D modeling applications go, Silo is already pretty inexpensive. I believe it runs $159.99 at the moment.

max tangent basis wtf
Okay, so I'd love to have some way to get "proper" tangent & bitangent vectors out of 3d studio max and into marmoset toolbag, but I can't see an obvious way to do it. I've been learning maxscript today, writing a .mesh exporter in it. About halfway through the process I realized that maxscript provides no way to access… -

Re: Xgen -> Alembic Hair not showing correctly in Unreal.
I made my hair with Xgen, which I converted into Interactable groom (Generate - Convert to Interactable Groom), and then export as alembic (Generate - Cache -Export Cache) but thank you for sharing that plug-in! I have a feeling that will work great haha, so I'll try it out
