Metasequoia (*.mqo) Import/Export
Posted: 27 Sep 2011, 05:35
I stumbled across this .mqo import/export plugin for Mod Tool 7.5 by ze10 and thought i'd post it here since new import/export formats for Softimage are rare but always appreciated.

You can download it from the developer's SkyDrive account HERE.
I translated the readme.txt in Google:
I tested the import and export feature and it works most of the time. It doesn't seem to like importing files with binary vertex data though, for example; the cat.mqo file in the Metasequoia installation, but since the plugin is open source python you could modify it to work how you want.
To export to *.mqo from Mod Tool your mesh objects need to be under a model null.
If it works in Mod Tool then it'll likely work with commercial versions of Softimage also.

It is a plug-in that inputs and outputs Metasequoia format with Softimage mod tool 7.5.
We have not confirmed the operation in Softimage (formerly XSI).
It is confirmed in Windows XP.
