This tool is completely outdated since 2016. Everything below is legacy information.
Todo: what rendered it obsolete?
The 
Softimage Mod Tool (formerly XSI Mod Tool) was a completely free version of the professional Autodesk Softimage modeling package. It had most of the features of the professional versions (certainly everything you'll need for modding) and allows you to export your work to Source without restriction. With the release of Softimage 2014, it was discontinued.
The ValveSource Add-On offers:
- SMD export and import
- VMF export and import
- Weightmap export and import
- Various skeleton tools and sample rigs
Note:The plugin distributed in the Source SDK (ValveSource.0105.01) is outdated and for Mod Tool 4.2, which there is no longer any reason to use.Note:The ValveSource plugin should work correctly with Mod Tool 7.5. However, if it does not work correctly for you in Mod Tool 7.5, you may want to try it in Mod Tool 6.01 instead.
