Questions about JA/JO modelling...

[AJL]

1. What programs do you use ? (MAX R3, R4, R5, R6 ??)

 

2. Are there any other XSI (import/export) plugins available

than those which came with the first Jedi Outcast editing

tools... ??

 

3. What settings should I use when I import and export ??

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

It seems that I CAN import Outcast XSI files which came with

those tools, But I can't import any Academy XSI files, Custom

files (files which come with models I download...), and I can't

even import those files I export...

Use 3ds max 4 or 5, a lot of plugins don't work for version 6. Go to this site for tutorials and links to plugins:

What about an XSI export plugin for 3ds Max 6 that works.

Maybe this could help?:

"includes:

MD3 export

GLM import

XSI export"

I tried the exporter for 3ds Max 6 in that batch and I couldn't get it to work. I did find this one though:

 

The direct link for the export plugin is here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=40241&package_id=32639&release_id=205314

(Download the bin file)

 

If that doesn't work you can go the long way:

http://www.softimage.com/Connect/xsi/FreeConnections.htm

Click on "dotXSI xchange for Max - Export" , then click on "dotXSI4max" (the name seemed a little deceiving to me, more like it was for max 4 and not 6 ). You'll want to download the "bin" file.

 

I've tried that one out pretty extensively and it's always worked for me.

 

Also, Softimage has released a free version of XSI for making models for the upcoming Half-Life II. It may also be capable of making models for JO/JA but I'm not very familiar with the program yet, so I'm not sure. It's a fairly large download though.

 

It can be found on their site here.
