[osflash] Import Maya scene to PV3d - Camera + lights + animation

[Matt]

What does this have to do with a flash video (flv) server? 

maya is a 3d rendering tool, which is not open sources, last I checked.

try blender.org for an open sources 3d animation/mesh modeling program and join it's mailing list.

regards,
matt
