Hallo!

Also erstmal gehe ich davon aus dass du mit "XFI" das Programm "Softimage |XSI" meinst.

Zweitens muss ich sagen dass Softimage|XSI und das HL2|XSIModtool, welches du wahrscheinlich meinst, einen grossen Unterschied haben. Das Modtool ist nicht als freies XSI gedacht, sondern nur zum HL2 modden. Du kannst damit keine sinnvollen Objects exportiert. Siehe auch:
