Mod tool licence.

[joopsy]

Hello XSI folk.

Now MS has released the terms for hobbyists to publish xbox360 games using XNA, are XSI going to review the terms of use for mod tool. (as the games have to be sold, this means people shouldn't really use mod-tool).

It would be great if you could grant an exception allowing the use of the Mod-Tool to publish games to XBox Live Community Games platform.

Thanks very much

This is a great question. I'm also curious to know what Softimage intends.

Yes i have read this on the XNA forum and people expect an answer from Softimage. Neither there nor here have they cleared out the legal issues between XSI and XNA.
Unfortunately, some people have started to say that they should pick up Truespace or Blender3D instead.

Please be quick on this one SI.

Alexandre Jean Claude did actually post a message on the XNA forums, but in case you missed it....


First and foremost, all my apologies for the long silence. We have been extremely busy working on the new version of XSI and the past few months have been very very busy. I am currently catching up on issues, but here are the top 3 we are currently looking at:


Modtool and Live community licensing
Export issues with animation clips and IK
Update to documentation

Stay tuned, hopefully we will be able to answer shortly.

Best regards.

You can use Blender with Xna 2.0 and use FxComposer 2 and if you have MotionBuilder you can export from Blender to MB 5 - 7.5 then to XNA in FBX format.

There was a statement regarding this in the Dream-build-play winners announcement. I've posted another question about it...
