I will give the exporter a try. I was hesitating on that because I am on Linux, and the exporters don't always work correctly. I will also play with exporting FBX from MoI. I need Maya for texturing. I only have a license for MoI v1, and I am thinking very hard if $100 is worth v2 for "styles" and the other newer functions.

I tried to just use 1.0 after using the Beta V2.0 for so long. I couldn't hack it and had to pony up the $100 for the upgrade.

If things don't work out on the Linux side of things, please post it to the forums so they can get resolved.

Just sprang for the v2 upgrade license. MoI puts real fast wheels on my production time and Michael deserves it (if not more - the price is WAY reasonable).

Thanks Phr0stByte, I hope that you will get some good use out of v2!

There's quite a lot of new stuff in there, there is a collection of all the notes on new and improved features in v2 here:
