very unlikely, ESPECIALLY if they dont even know what theyre downloading, POST PICS BEFORE SENDING A LINK! i feel like yelling that in everyones face who wants thier stuff exported for now on since no ones gonna wanna download some random model pack, could be something they could care less about.

Plus, it could be someone else's work, but since XSI isn't really much on importing and exporting many filetypes, that's unlikely.

dude are you kidding, i have tons of importers and exporters, just that ms3d has so many and thats what your used to but ms3ds are all half-@$$ed and most of them dont work the way they should.

well the most useful one is probably the 3ds and fbx plugins, i kinda forgot where to get the 3ds plugin and the fbx plugin is at the autodesk website, youll have to register. kinda annoying to find the plugin at autodesk, their website is like a maze, alias was better on its own. >_>

if i were you id uninstall google sketchup and download XSI 4.2 mod tools, youll probably never get your model outta the google program and at least if you get someone to export it for you itll be completely in tact since your exchanging between 2 softimage products.

piedude this isnt a thread for you to post your models for people to convert them, make a thread of that on your own. and wierd165, read the XSI documentation, not gonna explain something thats in the little menu at the top of the screen with the words Help right there in front of you.

Well hes obviously telling you that your not supposed to post things like that on this thread. Even if it is your thread, make a new one. Don't you have any freinds on xfire or something that you can ask really quick?
