converting a MAXscript/plugin to a XSI addon...

converting a MAXscript/plugin to a XSI addon...

Hello list

I am working on a project that uses the game engine NeL www.nervax.org...

they have a special NeL material and they have wrote an export or plugin for
MAX. I was wondering how difficult it would be to make that plugin/exporter
available to XSI. I am a absolute beginner when it comes to programming and a
novice in scripting for XSI. so all i am doing is asking for now is opinions..
doable yes.. but am i going to spend a year on this and become absolutely
unproductive to my actual job as 3d artist on the team?

i was thinking maybe just forget about MAXscript and just make the plugin for
XSI. i have been told by someone using the NeL code that someone wrote a python
version of this NeL material, but for blender. would that be a step in the
right direction?

any and all information anyone could provide would greatly be appreciated

thanks
