Unreal3 and XSI

Neox

Hello Guys,

we recently stumbled upon a problem while exporting data from XSI to the Unreal and xsi alway crashes during the export.

James Edwards

What version of XSI? What type of assets are you exporting?

I'm considering adding UT3 skeleton support to my autorigger scripts to be used with actorX. Would be nice to know of any potential roadblocks.

ok epic just released a new exporter now it seems not to crash

it was XSI 6.02 and an character with a skeleton applied, i'm not an xsi User though and i'm not the one exporting, i'll be the one who will have to get the damn file into max if the XSI exports doesn work *grml

lets hope everything is fine now

ok new problem, we can now import models from XSI, but UVs and Normals are screwed, this is how it looks like when exported from xsi:



and this is how it looks like from max



does anyone know hat to get the data from XSI to U3 without losing, uvs and normals?

When you export with ActorX, under the setup tab that "all textured", and "bake smoothing groups" are turned on. It might also be how your clusters are setup. If you assign a cluster with a material, that will get exported out just like a Material Id in Max.

I've been using the newest plugin for XSI 6.5 and haven't run into any problems.

Have you tried to assign textures to your materials in XSI before export? This together with 'all textured' should help.
