Try going to File-->Keyboard Mapping, a keyboard window should pop up. In the group window (top right) scroll to XSI at the bottom. Raycasting is what your looking for in the command window. See where its binded or rebind. Did you change to QWERTY or Maya setup? Vista is fine with default key setup.

Well I am, and a lot of new modders are free bees. They will still need XSI/Softimage, will they not? I started learning modeling with XSI (free) then tested the 30 day trial of 3DS max and actually found it limited in capabilities. But like the Major pointed out it might be just what your used to. Cant wait to try it ( 13 days left, be quick). All my tutorials will be for free bees! [e digicons]}:)[/e]

The button script still uses the convert xsi files but thanks to the Major and writing his last convertxsi article I found the paths can easily be modified from source to directory. Each button installs directorys in C:\Developer that the scripts call upon. I have not yet figured a way in script to to copy or call upon the files so they will need to be manually copied to to C:\Developer\ConvertXSI for convertxsi button to work. This is just the convertxsi files, then the folder

Yay [e digicons]:grin:[/e] I finally figured out the dam tangents when importing from 3DS max. 1st i import the OBJ from 3ds and name the mesh SOASE_MESH_wUVs Then I import the FBX that has all the mesh points. This one is named SOASE_MESH. With the SOASE_MESH selected I make 2 texture projections. Select SOASE_MESH_wUVs in the explorer (press 8) and open the texture editor and select all (Ctrl + a) and Copy UVs. <

Just because a game is made to run on windows does not mean they need that compliance. Thats the developer.

Reply to Save location problem in Technical Sins Forums

Not that I know of. You could try sharing the save folder in the network, then create shortcuts to each shared save folder in the other save folders. Then drag and drop should be easy. I agree its a bad place for the mods or maps or saves. In a hidden file, doh!

It is Major, in the top 1 is the new 1. There a little hard to see because I made them orange. Except for the blue ones in the bottom pic, I renamed those by hand, that how 3DS Import named them. The top pic is after running the script. Ya i added custom colours to help me see wat wat. The ship does have a P001-Weapon-1 and P001-Weapon-2 but I can't yet figure out how to tell other than the coordinates. See the bottom pic does not differentiate. So the script does th

Thanks a bunch. [e digicons]:D[/e] I am almost done my script that does it all except the tangent pick I'm not sure on until testing.

Reply to Trouble with mesh or textures (Ships are a solid color) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

You don't need to rename the textures. The mesh file is looking for the and now can't find them. I took an advent frigate mesh and named it to the TEC frigate mesh and now the TEC have a perfect stolen design. Find with Tau or Ork ship you want to replace in the mods mesh file. Then copy the TEC ships mesh file from the install directory (binary file) or the updated reference files

Reply to [Tutorial WIP] Import Sins Models to XSI in Sins Modding Sins Forums

The script is almost done. A user input box is presented asking to name the model, this creates a string to find and hook-up the textures so it should be named the same as the texture without the -cl.dds. For example, the TEC carrier mesh is named CapitalShip_TechCarrier but the textures are named CapitalTechCarrier . The later is what will be used because the string strShipName will look for ... strShipName & "-nm.dds"</s
