Thanks again for your support. I installed 3delight plugin but every time I use the 3delight skin shader softimage crashes. I use just the standard softimage shader the image renders out a black image. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening.
If this is still about XSI 7.01. Version 4.12, suggested by Hirazi, should work, but only partially. Afaik it won't be able to generate environment shaders. 3delight material does not work in 7.01, perhaps in all other SI versions, relying only on SPDL based shaders. I think the last 3delight, completely compatible with 7.01, it is around 3.1.38, sometime from spring 2013 or so.
Personally, last I've used with XSI 7.01, it is 3delight 4.12 - but, with manually edited 'final' (compiled by 3delight, normally) environment shaders. Also had to hack the factory shaders, to get a nicer threshold for multiple importance sampling - I think only 3delight material has a sort of automatic MIS threshold, otherwise there's pretty fast, but noisy default.
Other than that, 3delight generally don't like hyphen (minus) letter anywhere in shader name. In case of materials on clusters, rule is one shader on one cluster (so, not one shader repeatedly applied on many clusters). Mix of master material and materials on clusters won't work, master material should be different than any material on clusters.
