Exporting Maya in XSI

[stukabomber44]

Hey guys,

I'm really not wanting to relearn how to model in XSI since I know Maya quite a bit. Is there any way to export a model from Maya with the UV applied to the prop to XSI ?? I was partially successful is getting XSI to Source (didn't get the texture in properly yet, but the prop was there).

I haven't been able to find any tutorials on this...

Thanks,

i did try that and it took me forever, also, i was not successful... various issues came up so i decided to go the xsi way which provedd to be much easier.. but i only got a basic box in.

The common platform for exchange of 3D Data is called "Crosswalk" and can be downloaded free
from the autodesk site
http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/item?siteID=123112&id=13525184&linkID=12544121
It provides the FBX and Collada standard from and into XSI (or Softimage 2011/2012)

You may export your data from maya into a collada file (.dae) or
into FBX (.fbx) and then import it into XSI (with crosswalk installed)

Hope this helps

P.S. If this do not help, try Wavefront OBJ (.obj)
