I have XSI 4 foundation. Can or how can I export all assets to the 3D Engine?

This is the old version of the XSI DTS exporter that is compatible with XSI 4.x. The scripted utility from the updated version of the XSI exporter "should" work with this version of the exporter as well, however I have not tested it in XSI 4.x. So there could be some issues.

Some things to note about the old exporter.
* Exported animation is not compatible with the default Torque DSQ files.
* Does not support Environment mapping or Transparency.
* Does not export .DSQ files.
* Visibility animation is probably broken.
* Does not support the XSI Model container.
* Possibly a few other Misc things.

The updated Softimage exporter fixes all of these issues and more, but is presently compiled for XSI 6.x and higher. The current codebase should compile for XSI 5.x but will not compile for XSI 4.x due to its use of the GeometryAccessor Class, which is only avialable in XSI 5.x and higher.
