I had the same issue. Do you have something interesting plugin or addon
in use? I used some extrude addons, that made my life a nightmare. I
renamed the user folder of Softimage, and started Softimage. It made a

Arnold lights it works fine. i.e. just select an existing light or light

We are exporting cameras animated in Maya and importing to Softimage to

We are exporting a scene with a camera, a cup and a gridplane. Previously
we have exported the camera

Eugen, the source should be in the src directory of the Addon :-)
This might be a hint to some problems we had. We have been completely unable to
get matching cameras from Maya to Soft via FBX - always messed up framing and
sometimes even animation. Didn't think of it as a bug because I couldn't find
anyone else with that problem so I thought it was on our
It's been a while since I touched fbx ( :D ), but I remember having that
kind of issue and it was somehow related to the fbx/crosswalk version.
Using an older one would avoid weird behaviour (Something like 2010 .. ).
Or at least the same version between Maya and Soft ... is that the case?

I'm not sure to remember but I think it is correct. I'm sure others will be

You don't need to use lm2dmv since XSI 7.0 :).
There is an AOV/Channel/RenderBuffer just for that. I just can't remember

I find that Softimage and other 3D apps work well in VMs when the VM
is running a Windows OS. But I've had no success running Softimage
and other 3D applications in a VM when it is running Linux.
These days I prefer VirtulaBox over VMWare, but that is a personal
preference thing.
Best regards,
I've had the opposite experience. At work we have VMWare on Linux and it
runs Softimage and other AD softwares just fine.

Ben,
Thanks, that’s sounds promising. Do you know if there are any particular
hardware configuration requirements? I guess the thing I'm most concerned with
is hard disk capacity and speed.

Hi Alan,
No way? You mean you have a VM running Softimage on Linux? What
Linux OS are you running inside of the VM? Did you do anything
special to get it running? I've wasted countless hours try to get the
required video card drivers to work on Linux inside of a VM. I think
that cumulatively
Hi Joseph,
I'd always recommend running an SSDs. We put our VMs on our SSDs as
well (we generally give each VM a 100GB virtual disk, which takes up
less than 100GB of real space) but disk space isn't a huge concern for
us because we keep are large data on a fileserver.
Video drivers are slower
I think there's been some confusion... At work I'm on Linux (CentOS 6.2)
and my VMWare VM is virtualizing Windows 7, where Softimage runs swimmingly.
Was it a VM virtualizing Linux and running Softimage that was the issue for
you? I never tried that as we use Linux natively here.

To be fair though... getting Softimage running on Linux in general isn't
for the faint of heart.
VirtualBox is cool... it's free and all. But performance wise it's quite
bad. VMWareFusion is quite speedy on my home machine. It's the only way I
run windows at home anymore.

It is a display problem, I suspect it is not specific to XSI. Can you run any

Another possibility here is that you might be trying to run XSI as root. Can
you try starting XSI as a normal user? This is how it should be run, anyway.
