Hey im a mapper i was wanting to get into modeling also just wondering if hl2 was only going to be using XSI? I believe i heard this before but i wanted to make sure. Alright thanks.

I'm not familiar with XSI at all, but in theory it should be able to import the common formats... Meaning you could make something in Max, then export it to say 3ds, and import it to XSI. Of course, some things might be missing in the process, but the model itself should be able to move from format to format. Without a doubt someone could probably code a little converter too

I think valve is working with softimage to distribute a free version of XSI over steam for modellers to work with
