Alan,
do you know how Python talks to Softimage on Linux? Afaik on Windows it's based
on COM and the PyWin32 extensions,
but on Linux? I understand Softimage is run under MainWin, but does that
include Python and PyWin32? If so, there might be a way. I'm currently looking
into running Qt-based stuff in XSI using Python only (no C++), but it will
definitely need the pyWin32 extensions for the mouse hooks.
That's a shame for people on Linux for which there is no public working
compile of the PyQtForSoftimage plugin. :/

None that I'm aware of, but afaik the latest multi-importer (1.14 as of
August?) uses pyQt, so you might need pyQT for Softimage installed too.
Version 1.1 doesn't, according to the information given on
http://rray.de/xsi/

Ok, can check that off the list! Tim spent a good bit of time yesterday
trying to help me get this going (thanks again Tim!) but to no avail. Were
there any changes to how xsiaddons install between Softimage 2012, 2012sp1,
2012 SAP (sorry, I forget all the different flavors of point releases for
2012)??

I’m afraid, meshpaint is 2013.x exclusive…

Subject: Installing AddOns Softimage 2012 SP1
Using Softimage 2012 SP1 64 on Win 7 64 bit here. I came across a couple
of really handy xsiaddons but cannot seem to get them going.
The first was Tim Crowson’s multi-importer tool here:
http://dynamiclens.com/**wordpress/?page_id=750<http://dynamiclens.com/wordpress/?page_id=750>
The next was meshpaint by Piotrek Marczak here:

I have tried to install them via drag and drop to the interface but they
don’t show up in the menu. I uninstalled, rebooted Soft and then tried
File>Addon>Install and pointed to the file that way, installing to the User
Addons directory. I see them installed in there but they still don’t show
in the menus back in Softimage.
Uninstalled them and tried to install via Plugin Manager by right
clicking the User Root and installing xsiaddon that way. Same deal. See
them there in : C:\Users\Wayne Williams\Autodesk\Softimage_**2012_SP1\Addons
but still won’t show up in the interface.
Anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong here??
