Pencil+ 4 Bridge for Maya Planned for Release
Pencil+ 4 Bridge for Maya / 3ds Max is used to write Pencil+ 4 Material and Pencil+ 4 Line settings to file and read them back. The data is managed as a file separate from the scene file, so it can easily be applied to another scene. Thanks to the Bridge, Pencil+ 4 settings can be shared between Maya and 3ds Max for greater convenience.
*We plan to distribute this utility for free on the PSOFT User Page. Please wait for future announcements.
