^^ probably came off bad
Of course I respect your problem solving skills! But I think this is a problem that cannot be solved. You are starting from a place that is fundamentally screwed. Like trying to use water to start a camp fire... Ok not that bad, but close enough.
Remember we talked about modo, Yossam? Well 901 was released.
http://www.thefoundry.co.uk/products/modo/features/ check out all the videos, but here look at "hair and fur" first. I had been waiting for the new release and to learn who would buy MODO as a company. But I don't even care about the last bit now. Its awesome! MODO is a beauty IMO.
Now this thread and all others are about how to get stuff from other soft into TG. Which is reasonable. But the easier solution is to get TG into other soft. If matt makes the export of TG terrains into other soft, as some threads have hinted at (output Vectors plus some other stuff), easier... THen?
Plus when ambilinc and FBX object support come on line, we should pretty much be able to do whatever the hell we want anyway we want!
The new MODO even comes with free Digital tutors support!
Did you ever decide about MODO then? Just watch those videos in the link I posted here. It should help make up your mind, it did me.
