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?:

http://jedidreams.codealliance.ca/do...x6_plugins.zip

"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/showf...ease_id=205314
(Download the bin file)

If that doesn't work you can go the long way:
http://www.softimage.com/Connect/xsi...onnections.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.
