.XSI to .OBJ

[o0ORiggsO0o]

If your running xsi file-> export-> Obj file, just make sure ya select your model. Other then that its just a matter of importing the obj through maya's means of import. Thats if you just want to import the Obj file, as for importing a complete ".xsi" I'm not to sure that avaliable "YET" autodesk may or may-not.

Maya 2008 doesn't have an import .xsi option.

I beleive Collada made a pluging that allows maya to xsi and xsi to maya, but that was awhile ago and a few versions back not to sure if it ever went anywhere.

hope this helps,

have a look at crosswalk too. it can do more than just move over the model.

The problem is that I'm running Maya 2009 on Mac OS X and I donno how to import a softimage model on it. And I don't have Softimage. Is it possible to convert XSI to OBJ using Maya 2009... A plug in.

Yes (sort of) but the plugin you need is crosswalk and as far as I know there is now public version of it for the Mac.


Your best bet is to find someone with a PC version of Maya, download crosswalk, and use that to open the .xsi file in Maya. Then save it as an OBJ or what ever works best for you.

You should/could also maybe give point oven a try.

AFAIK there is a MAC Maya version. While not quite the same as crosswalk or as powerful for transferring character specific attributes, it has a few extra benefits over it, including the fact that it works with a greater amount of programs.
