I couldn't correctly use it, but there's an exporter for Softimage XSI.  Perhaps it will help you.  It generates a .xml file.  For all of the associated files, you'll need to download @ www.mindthink.de - you need to register (free).<br /><br />Here's AE_export.js:<br /><br />// ===============================================================<br />// AE Export version 3.0<br />// This version of the exporter generates XML files.<br />// 08.08.2005 Helge Mathee<br />// in behalf of Electric-Umbrella GmbH<br />// -------------------------------------<br /><br />var text = '';<br />var tabs = 0;<br />var useTriangles = false;<br />aeExport2(useTriangles);<br /><br />function aeExport2(useTriangles){<br />     text = '';<br />     tabs = 0;<br />     <br />     if(!selection.count){<br />          logmessage('Nothing selected',siError);<br />          return false;<br />     }<br />     <br />     var cameras = new ActiveXObject('XSI.Collection');<br />     var lights = new ActiveXObject('XSI.Collection');<br />     var nulls = new ActiveXObject('XSI.Collection');<br /><br />     var passes = ActiveProject.ActiveScene.Passes;<br />     if(passes.count<1){<br />          logmessage('Fatal error.
