-I have a great idea for a new unit class... however it will require some modeling. What modeling tools would be best (and hopefully free)

-I was wondering how to make ingame movies for the selection screen, like what tool do i need to film it.

Google search it, they have a free mod edition of thier 3d program that works well with SWBF...

I've thought that Softimage XSI Mod Tools didn't manage the Pandemic XSI Plug-in to export in the *.MSH file format... Is it true ?

lol no secret... I just said higher modder, cause they were better than I and knew more than me, and directed me to the download, therefore I cannot explain how I got the XSI.... he has to wait for a better modderto tell him/her :P

It seems to be very confused...
Are you sure that your XSI's version works well with SWBF and the XSI2Mesh plug-in from Pandemic ? Is this software free ?

The Pandemic MSH exporter plugin does NOT work with XSI Mod tools, however, it does work with XSI Foundations, and XSI Advanced, and it should work with the trial versions of these.

There is a new tool in the new patch that lets you use a camera to view the entire battlefield. Then once you are in the camera mode, use Fraps to make a movie while panning. Just for the pro look.

Yes, and it's a pity... I'd have liked (And all the modding's community, I think...) that Pandemic would make their XSI2Mesh plug-in available for XSI Mod Tools...
