Quick Question for a Modding Newbe

from Sins Forums

I know that this question has been answered a millon times on this forum but maybe some one could direct me to the thread or even answer it again.

I want to make my own ship models but do not know how to get them into the game.  I have Autodesk Softimage (XSI) program but do not know how to save and export the model into the right format.

Any one Please Help

Get your model, go to file, export, dot xsi. Save in format 3.6. Then use the convertxsi program to turn it into .mesh format for Sins.

I recommend you look at the other modeling tutorials on that site so you can double check your model is set up properly for Sins.

 

 

Further, I advise that the Devs add custom map sharing to Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion.
