Crosswalk for Max

Supported versions of 3ds Max

Crosswalk for Max supports 3ds Max 2008, 3ds Max 2009, and 3ds Max 2010.

Crosswalk for Maya

Supported versions of Maya

Crosswalk for Maya supports Maya v8.5, Maya 2008, Maya 2009, and Maya 2010.

Crosswalk SDK

New Access for COLLADA in the Crosswalk SDK

The Crosswalk SDK already generates COLLADA (xml) elements from the Semantic Layer which makes it easy to export COLLADA content. As of Crosswalk v4.0, you can now supplement or modify the COLLADA content you generate beyond what is possible with the Crosswalk SDK Semantic Layer because you can directly edit the COLLADA xml elements before writing them out.

For more information, see Workflow for Accessing COLLADA Data.
