It's broken. The addon for it does not work for mod tools. You need XSI Foundation 5.11 a 500$ thing.

You'll have to use a 3rd party exporter such as RepSharpshooter's MshEx, look for it in the Released Assets forum.

Foundation licenses are no longer being sold, unfortunately it has been discontinued, but you can still download and use the trial for 30 days.

Mav, I believe he said that his 30-day trial was already up in the other topic. And then there's MshEx.

You don't need to install it, just put it in the same directory as the model you want to export and follow the instructions in the release thread.
