XSI ---> 3D Max easy ?!

[Dodo]

is it possible to export a rigged/boned + textured model to XSI without any problems ? ( im sure there will be some problems, but not that the for instance the UVW is gone or that some polly's are moved or that it !? )

best results i've gotten is using kaydaras FBX plugins. Havent tested with 4.0 or 4.2, so i dont know if it'll work.

Why would you export from 3D Studio to XSI? You can export directly from 3D Studio to SMD, and then compile your model.

Sorry to hijack but how do you get HL2 mdl's in Max?

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

You don't. You create your model in Max, texture and animate it, then use the SMD exporter from http://www.chaosincarnate.net/cannonfodder/cftools.htm

and use it to export your model. Then you use Valve's compile tools from the SDK.
