Manu sano:
"The Point Oven plug-ins are available in XSI for Windows only"
Outch!
Juu valitettavasti näin on. Eikä myöskään *max tukikaan taida toimia kuin windowsilla ja vain 32bit sellaisella toistaiseksi. Tosin ihmekkös tuo eihän Max itsekkään toimi kuin windowsilla.
Jos 3ds max v8 on asennettu koneeseen, niin *max formaattikin on tuettu.
"If you have 3ds Max version 8, SOFTIMAGE|XSI can import and export .max files. The conversion is accomplished using plug-ins for 3ds Max that XSI launches in the background."
Onko tuo *.max formaatti millä tasolla tuettu? Avautuuko se scene ihan "almost" sellasenaan kun max:ssa on tehty vai ihan prikuleen?
Itse en ole Max tukea voinut testata kun ei ole Maxia töissä eikä kotona. Pitänee demo imuttaa hätiin.. Mutta manuaalin mukaan *max tuki on nyt seuraava:
