Reliable interoperability is the most important part of a mixed-tool pipeline—and that’s exactly why Softimage developed Crosswalk.
Crosswalk is an ongoing initiative to help seamlessly transfer XSI content into and out of any previously established 3D pipeline. You can transfer assets using the latest dotXSI and COLLADA standards, and take advantage of enhanced import/export tools to get assets in and out of Autodesk® 3ds Max® and Maya® pipelines.
Crosswalk SDK
To take full advantage of the dotXSI file format, use the Crosswalk SDK available with a standard XSI installation and as part of the Crosswalk product in the Product and Download sections on Softimage.com. The Crosswalk SDK enables rapid implementation of read and write support for the dotXSI file format in a wide variety of circumstances. Designed to facilitate the integration of dotXSI into nearly any interactive media pipeline, the toolkit includes a set of core resources, including dotXSI file I/O library and header files and compilable source code for sample applications.
Crosswalk for Max and Crosswalk for Maya
3ds Max and Maya can read the dotXSI format using the Crosswalk for Max and Crosswalk for Maya plug-ins, respectively. Install Crosswalk and you can import, export, and update scene elements in the dotXSI 6.0 file format within your Crosswalk-enabled 3ds Max or Maya installations.
Crosswalk Online Documentation
The Crosswalk download installs with a complete set of documentation, but you can also view the current documentation online from this wiki:
