Game export question?

[Morne]

Hi all

Somebody asked me today whats the difference between Max and Maya because their friend says it seems Maya can export to the format they need for their game, but Max can't (I don't know what format that is)

I didnt have an answer as I haven't worked with game assets yet, but I thought like Archviz, Max is also used for most games? Motionbuilder is used for the animation etc of the characters. So then how do you get your max model into a "game ready" format? (and what is that format?)

each game would have their own formats

and Maya exports to each of those formats and Max doesnt?

[Da_elf]

you said maya can export to the format for their game. which i assume is 1 game 1 format that might have been coded for that purpose for maya do you know what game it is?

What I said here is the only info I have on it. I'm not involved in that project either. Somebody just casually asked me to make conversation I guess. I posted it here because maybe it will be relavant to me in some future date.
