What version of SoftImage XSI are you using?

Hello Everyone,
This weekend the first public release of the XSI DTS exporter will be available for general download. I thought Id take this opportunity to ask what version of XSI people are using so that I can make sure the build will work for everyone.
The latest build is compatible back to version 4.2 but with the performance updates and SDK enhancements in XSI 5-6 we will may need to manage 2 versions of the exporter. I have versions 4.x - 6 of Softimage XSI, but I can honestly say that XSI 5.x and 6 are alot better so if you haven't upgraded yet you may want to consider upgrading.
Let me know your thoughts...

Any updates on the exporter it's the best news I have heard in a long time and was very happy and jumping for joy when I read the post. I really would like to cut down on all the programs I use to get models into the engine. I also find animating things in XSI and Maya for that matter much easier to use.

Well this is good news, this has ended my 'shall I go LW or XSI' decision, well I'll find some money, and I'll be grabbing version 6, first I'll get a job :P

Just to chime in & for reference, I'm using 4.2 Foundation and am hoping I can use XSI to work with the TGE. :)

Any idea when this will be out? I mean there are a lot of people who are waiting for this so maybe GG could put some "monetary effort" to speed up the development (or maybe the people waiting for this could put up some money, I'll gladly put $50 to the pool if it helps getting the exporter done).

I use the free MOD version. IMO it is FAR smarter to work out support for Torque for the free MOD version than to aim for supporting the commercial version. When targeting indie game developers with a low cost (TGE/TGEA indie license) product, it makes no sense to "require" a highly expensive tool to create content such as 3ds Max, Maya or XSI.
