XSI/Houdini exporter

by Morrie · in Artist Corner · 09/05/2008 (1:48 am) · 3 replies

I know the exporter for XSI was being worked on by Matt Summers, My question is does it work and does it export both DTS and DSQ.

The Houdini Program, I know it says it exports DTS, but does it export DSQ's for animation.

I'm using TGEA, I would like to use XSI, but if the exporter doesn't do animations its basically useless.
To do animations in game you would have to use DSQ's right.

Any help on this subject would be a great deal of help. Thank you

The range of animations can also be 'baked' into the model.

The rest, I dunno about ;)

Houdini supports both. It is actually the most fully-functional DTS exporter available.

Hi Morrie,

From everything I've seen and heard, Houdini Apprentice HD allows a full range of DTS/DSQ exporting options. Your best bet is to watch this video and read through these public forum threads . . .

If you've already done all that, try posting a detailed question in the Houdini public forums and perhaps Robert McGee or Rex will respond with the information you need.

Good luck and have fun.
