Im using 7.5 but so far what I have seen, I'm not impressed. The old one looks easier to use

can anyone help me with that because when I start up studio compiler, it says dll's are missing and the problem persists if I re-download and reinstall it. I use windows 7.

you have to UV map the object before you can export it- I gave up on softimage a while back though. Anyone know any exporters for blender?

@nameguy101 Thanks, but i dont know if it will help i have to reinstall everything as i fucked something up on my PC and had to format.

softimage 2010 and 7.5 are currently incompatible with the valve hl addons . Dont expect autodesk to do anything.

to fix this solution dl modtool open the softimage scene file(yes modtool can do this) and export using that.
