Softimage XSI mod tools and killing floor

[Falidell]

so i'm thinking of learning how to model stuff for use so i can make much more diverse levels for killing floor atm the current model/texture bank for killing floor is lacking....

anyways i was wondering if softimage XSI mod tools would be good for making models, and that my roomy wants to learn it also for half-life.. so what are your thoughts?

i hope someone hasn't already posted something about this.. i searched

I guess it's all down to the plugin you use with it that can be used to export the right file type you need to get into the UDK. But i dunno, I'd ask on the UDK Forums. Whatever answer they give you should be applicable to modding KF.

i found it, it's a export script called actorx and it works for:static meshes, uv mapping, skeleton/skeleton animations, etc.. pretty much everything.
here is the link if anyone else needs/wants it

yes mod tool is fine for everything but there is an export limit - though not sure what it is for latest version.

got me but i've tested it up to 30,000 tiangles with 3 textures and it works.

also it was just to see if it'll export i didn't actually make that 30,000 triangle 3 texture object for use.
