Hey all,
i would like to begin with xsi and made a few test models. I followed the tutorial i've read here and tried to export my model as a .msh file. But the pandemic tools did not work. I have installed python and pywin32 correctly and the Zetools are also correctly installed. But If I press Pandemic Tools>Export Mesh I always get this red error message at bottom: Active Ex components can not create an object (translated message).
Someone know what I may did wrong or what I have forgotten?

is the pandamic tool compatible with your XSI Version??

I have Softimage 7.5. They said the pandemic tools only would work with foundation 4-5. But I thought the ZEtools may fix that to use the newer XSI version.

Nope, the Pandemic Addon does not work on 7.5 no matter what you do. Ande's ZeTool doesn't fix anything, but it lets you export/import to .msh, apply materials and all the other neat stuff just like the Pandemic Addon did back in the olden days. It's all you need. It's love. And also live.

Does the zetools work on other xsi versions without 30 test days?

That's the point of them.

Make sure your geometry is the child of a null. It should also be triangulated. You have to use ZEtools to export the model. Branch select (middle click) your null. You should click the ZETools button at the top, then select Export .msh. It will let you choose your .msh's name and directory.

Thank you. Now it works. Just have forgotten to install something.
