Hi Brenden. As far as I can determine, the only HIIP saver that works
properly are the JPEG and... well, only the JPEG, as far as I can tell.
The TGA and IFF savers already there in the prerelease work fine, since
they aren't HIIP. I had a lot of trouble, and tried installing the HIIP.p
plugin, which according to a guy at Newtek is NOT supposed to be onthe
CDROM, and is known to be buggy. Once I deleted it and reinstalled, still
the SGI, TIFF and Targa 32bit don't work. The YUV works, but only in
NTSC, and sometimes seems to randomize the colour channels. I have had no
luck at all getting any of the AVI savers to work at all.

The loaders, though supposedly automatic, I can only get the JPEG loader
to work. It recognizes SGI, TIFF and YUV but loads them as black pages
(although correctly sized black pages :) ).

THe Modeler plugins all seem solid and reliable. I just converted my
first Softimage model to Wavefront and loaded it in....
