just in case, did you try importing the exported
files in max again?
at least this would confirm that the files are
ok.
i've imported both obj and 3ds files and
they both work "at times",
I've seen objects "exploded", where
each object in the hierarchy seems to be moved elsewhere, and most often
files simply being refused by XSi.
allways got either obj or 3ds to work, though never
twice the same one in a row :-)

then there's something ver odd about the obj and 3ds
export then, because nothing I do on scenes fits. Scaling and position are all
way out, although it works on simple objects, it's on our scenes it's all out.
Nothing makes sense at all.

There was a bit of
frigging involved but it was just a scaling factor , and a flip through 90
degrees nothing too crazy! Not ideal but it did fit.

To get a
model into XSI from Vue a while ago (it was 4 then) we did the
following.
Export as
Lightwave
Read
into Lightwave as a scene not an object
Save
out as Lightwave 5.6
Import into Deep
Exploration and export as dotXsi file
Bit
round the houses but did work, perhaps after getting the Lightwave scene
you could use Point Oven now?

it
didn't do what I wanted it to anyway. I'm using Vue, from e-on software,
to generate landscapes and I'm moving the landscapes from Vue back into
xsi using obj but having problems with the transforms screwing. I was
hoping exporting as a max scene from Vue would work but the transforms are
still screwed. I'm veering OT here but I don't suppose anyone's had any
success with this and Vue?

Na, just
download the trial. You'll get 30 days to work your piping magic. I
recommend fbx btw and bake the animation. Max has (not sure about v8
tho) a bug with euler rotation so set it to tcb or linear THEN
bake.

If you need a license just to import export
you might me able to get away with using 3d Studio Viz, (the arch viz
version).
Its a lot cheaper and should be able to use
the .xsi to max plugin

I think you will need a seat of Max. My
experience with going from Max to XSI is that you have to have the
.xsi plugin for max which requires you to export out of max.....pretty
lame. Autodesk (Discreet) has always had a stick up their butt
when it comes to sharing their file formats so other apps can import
Max stuff.
