We use XSI as our 3d frontend for game development. Regarding
customisation, we use an inhouse Realtime Shader representing our
engine's feature set. This enables us to kind of work within our game
engine right inside of XSI, which is very convenient. Export-wise we
simply use the built-in dotXSI exporter. From there on we run a couple
of specialised tools to convert the dotXSI files to our native engine
format and create platform-specific data (eg splits for PC and PS2).
Cheers!
