Crosswalk 2.0

Crosswalk is a Softimage initiative to help transfer XSI content in and out of 3ds Max® and Maya® pipelines which includes the XSI COLLADA solution and more.
The Crosswalk components in XSI 6 have now been packaged as a standalone software, complete with an installer that can automatically detect existing installations of 3ds Max®, Maya®, and XSI, and install the appropriate plugins. Because it is a separate download, Softimage will be able to release frequent updates and fixes independent of the XSI release cycle
The Crosswalk downloads contain updated crosswalk software, featuring several bug fixes, as well as updated documentation in the Crosswalk guide, and new Crosswalk examples.
