SoftImage XSI dotXSI 3.x Exporter Plug-in for Milkshape 3D Description

Enable Milkshape to export models in the Softimage dotXSI format When the original SoftImage XSI trial/mod tool was released, its import support was pretty basic and didnt support many formats of features. As XSI is the preferred tool for modelling in Half-Life 2, this was a bit of a problem as many people were transitioning from Milkshape 3D to XSI and finding it hard to port old content across. This plug-in is the result of trying to solve that issue by enabling Milkshape to export models in the Softimage dotXSI format. Import support is now much better with XSI Mod Tool 4.2, but the dotXSI exporter is still handy for bringing content into XSI in a more native format. The plug-in generates a dotXSI 3.0 format file, and imports the meshes into the root scene (this may change in future releases). The output file is broken down as follows: * Milkshape groups/meshes are exported as is * Materials are exported as per Milkshape: * Ambient colour * Diffuse colour * Emmisive colour * Specular colour and highlight strength * Texture and UV mapping * Vertex Normals (no smoothing groups) * Bones are exported as Null objects, but are not linked in a chain * Vertex assignments/weights * Animation, including keyframes
