Autodesk's Mod Tool used to be the main choice for modders when working on level and character models (at least in Windows, since it's Windows-only). It was a free and accessible program, but has long since been discontinued. Nowadays, modders are encouraged to use [[Blender]] instead.

==Installation==
Full name: "Autodesk Softimage Mod Tool". Usually we just call it "Mod Tool" or "XSI", the old name of the program.


==General information==
'''Download'''
Full name: [http://www.moddb.com/downloads/autodesk-softimage-mod-tool-75 "Autodesk Softimage Mod Tool"]. Usually we just call it "Mod Tool" or "XSI" (old name of the program).
* '''Get it from [https://www.moddb.com/downloads/autodesk-softimage-mod-tool-75 Mod DB].'''
* It's no longer possible to download Softimage from Autodesk because the [https://www.autodesk.com/products/softimage/overview software was discontinued] by Autodesk in favor of their major software packages Maya and 3ds Max.


Beside the free version, there's also the retail and [http://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/softimage student version] "Autodesk Softimage [year]"
'''Newer Windows installations usually require .NET 2.0 to be installed before the XSI installer can fully run.'''
: [http://www.autodesk.com/products/softimage/overview 2015 is last version.] Autodesk's development will focus on Maya and 3ds Max.
: Downloading and installing .Net 2.0 manually from the internet might not work.
: Those versions are also available as 64-bit versions.
: '''Therefore use the Windows search and look for "features".''' (Enable/disable Windows features.)
: If you are a student you can get Autodesk Software for free if your school is a partner of Autodesk. Or you just try it anyway, perhaps it works. ;)
: From the Windows feature page install '''".NET framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0)"'''.
:: In that case you can register with your email address given by your school.


But in the very most cases "Mod Tool" is enough to modify Oni.
There are various ways to extend Mod Tool's range of functions: scripts (.vbs, .js), toolbars (.xsitb) and addons (.xsiaddon). They can be created on one's own and also shared with other users.


There's also the possibility to get files that extent Mod Tool's range of functions.
===Extensions===
: Those are scripts (.vbs, .js), toolbars (.xsitb) and addons (.xsiaddon).
: They can be created on one's own and also shared with other users.
 
 
'''Wanted knowledge:'''
* How to setup particle in Mod Tool? We still need an Oni particle editor!
* How to rig models and then extract the animation data?
* How to make complex new UV-maps?

===Rendering===
Rendering doesn't work well on my PCs.--[[User:Paradox-01|paradox-01]] ([[User talk:Paradox-01|talk]]) 01:09, 9 March 2016 (CET)
 
Especially PNG, it works one time. But as soon as I import another dae the next render will fail.
 
 
So, for creating a object library we might use blender. Nice thing is, it can also render in the background when called from CMD. This means you could keep working in XSI and render images in blender at the same time.
 
 
example of a batch file:
cd C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender
blender -b --python C:\Users\Paradox-01\Desktop\blender-out\pythonScript.py
 
 
example of a render script:
import bpy
# delete blender default cube object
bpy.ops.object.mode_set(mode='OBJECT')
bpy.ops.object.select_by_type(type='MESH')
bpy.ops.object.delete(use_global=False)
# load new object
bpy.ops.wm.collada_import(filepath = "C:/Oni/r.dae")
# render settings
bpy.data.scenes['Scene'].render.resolution_x = 900
bpy.data.scenes['Scene'].render.resolution_y = 900
# default resolution percentage seems to be 50
bpy.data.scenes['Scene'].render.resolution_percentage = 100
bpy.data.scenes['Scene'].render.use_antialiasing = True
# 5 | 8 | 11 | 16
bpy.data.scenes['Scene'].render.antialiasing_samples = "8"
#TGA IRIS JPEG MOVIE IRIZ RAWTGA
#AVIRAW AVIJPEG PNG BMP FRAMESERVER
#no gif ? could be created by more code, maybe merging single frames of jpgs
bpy.data.scenes['Scene'].render.image_settings.file_format = 'JPEG'
bpy.data.scenes['Scene'].render.image_settings.quality = 100
# file suffix is overwritten by file_formate
#bpy.data.scenes['Scene'].render.filepath = 'C:/Oni/renders/test.jpg'
bpy.data.scenes['Scene'].render.filepath = 'C:/Oni/renders/test'
# start render
bpy.ops.render.render( write_still=True )
