Hey, guess what, (you'll be dissappointed)--BUT, the xsi exporter for 3ds Max 6 and up changes it in a way that doesn't work for new vehicles, you can still do characters but you can't do vehicles, 3ds Max 5 can though, just use the xsi plugin that comes with the sdk

[Sith Dagger]

No, the XSI exporter works fine, but it adds a bone to it, that clears all animations.

It will still export working vehicles, unless they are animated.

I know, I have made several vehicles, including helping Gaara Of The Sand, with his vehicles.

I guess if you ad 3DS Max 6 or 7, and still wanted an animated vehicle, and did not learn to use XSI mod tools, you could use Dragon, the ghoul 2 animation tool.

No not really, it messes up the model--any animations are completely screwed up, and it also changes the direction of the model--like where it comes up pointing a different direction and upside down in Modview.
