About the Softimage|XSI Mod Tool

The Softimage|XSI Mod Tool is a FREE 3D modeling and animation package, for non-commercial use, that plugs right into Microsoft XNA Game Studio Express and Valve Half- Life 2. The Mod Tool is packed with the same 3D modeling and animation tools that the pros use to create triple-A titles. One thing that’s really nice about the Mod Tool is that its Crosswalk enabled. This mean you can import and export content to and from other applications using the COLLADA, dotXSI and FBX file formats. In other words, your data is not locked inside the Mod Tool and yes, it can be used to create content for Flash with the cool Papervision3D technology.
