Mod Tool to XSI 5

MetallicA · Post by **MetallicA** » Mon Sep 07, 2009 4:09 pm

I'm probably missing something here but is it possible to convert projects from Softimage Mod Tool to XSI 5? I recently acquired XSI 5.0 Advanced so that I can export some models using the official exporter. The problem is that I cannot seem to open scenes I was originally working on in Mod Tool 7.5.

I tried exporting through meshex and importing it with meshtool, exporting as .xsi, even exporting it as the ValveSource SMD file. The scene is empty when using .msh and .xsi. The SMD just corrupts (most likely didn't set it up correctly).

Any help?

I doubt that models are going to be "backwards" compatible, try exporting as a obj.

Cool! Didn't know you could export it to a certain version of XSI. Thanks a lot Ace!
