i just thought there shoud be a topic to show newbies like me how to mod this game, with stuff like how u import th models from XSI what u save them as and stuff like that.

so for the newbies
plz help!

good idea! I need help in that area also plus doing the animations. I'm sure if you got questions, someone has answers. I'll be keeping my eyes on this thread.

two questions for now
can the 3d replacement mods (like if i were making a ship to replace the y-wing) be made in maya 6 unlimted? and...
when u have made the models do you have to animate them, like shooting dying ect...
thz

does anyone have a tutorial to creating and importing new files, (like charecters and new ships)?

Ps.can u make the models in 3DStudio max or maya instead of XSI?

I've got an even noobier question: How do you open XSI? lol


Rip

what do u have it

even better question, what are you doing to open it?

As for jedimodder, you can create any model in any program, just have to have a good 3d converter. The best one I found was deep exploration from right hemisphere (http://www.righthemisphere.com/). The reason for this is the only .msh exporter that works as the designers intended is for xsi, which only accepts dotxsi and wavefront objects natively. There is a free version of xsi on softimage's website, but I don't think the plugin works with it (no one has confirmed nor disproved this theory) and, if i remember correctly, it does not have support for .obj files.

the xsi to mesh exporter has been tested with XSI ModTool and doesn't work.

no what i was saying before i mean do u have a step by step tutorial for expot 3d charecters and that.

I am missing something. Explain please.

i have a noob ? that takes the cake. where can u get maya, xis, or 3d stiods?

Google can find you the official websites dipstick.

i typed in xis in google and nothing came up. can u give the web site.

It's XSI not xis. Goto http://softimage.com/ . That is the official site. Maya is http://www.alias.com/ , and 3d studios is http://www.discreet.com/ . I normally do not like "search google" answers, but nimlot is right. Not to be mean, but it only took a few seconds to google those sites. Please refer there and through out the forum before posting common questions like that. That way you have a defense against the google comment.

I'm not surprised nothing comes up when you search for XIS. Next time try searching for XSI instead XIS.

I already informed him about it Tex. No need to start flaming.

I hope I can learn it soon

About placing items, Saturn Labs is a good place to start. For the moving around, the docs included will help, if not, go to saturn labs.
