The XSI Mod tool is a free and largely unrestricted version of Avid's professional modeling package that exports to Source and XNA. There's finally been a new release that brings it from version 4.2 to 6! Unreal was supported in 4.2, but there doesn't seem to be an exporter for 6 yet.

Unreal was supported in 4.2, but there doesn't seem to be an exporter for 6 yet. (On that subject, you don't have to worry about the Source exporter as it's downloaded automatically.)

Finally XD, the crappy 4.2 mod tool put so many people off XSI. 6 is much much better IMO hopefully this includes most of the features of XSI 6 and doesnt dilute it all too much.

AgeNt_ XSI 6 comes with a layout for 1024 users and I think the new mod tool layout works good in 1024 also. If you (or anyone else) was put off by the previous mod tools i would consider giving this a go. Theres a LOT of enhancements and for those used to Max even an option for Qwerty style Max controls with ALT navigation. This mod tool version also includes a crap load of nub friendly options , tutorials and source files to get you started. :)

Nice.
I've kind of given up on the mod tool, but if the updates are good I'll get back to modelling.

I downloaded it and it seems to work fine. Nice updates on it , able to export alot more triangles. I almost was ready to buy 6.0 now its free. ;)
It has more working options for modelling Valve stuff, the scripts on xsi.net work now too.
