Softimage XSI - help...please?
Let's get this out in the open at the start-
I'm a mod-newbie. Modelling, coding, I am useless at everything except concept-design and some very basic half-life level design (I can make a box-room...and that's not even a surety...). I planned to change this and downloaded the Softimage XSI 3d modellng software in anticipation of Half-Life 2. After downloading and installing, I was greeted with... something. It had four windows, each with a different view, kinda like Valve Hammer. Everything else was radically different. To make a long story short, I need some help with XSI. Advice, sites (though I've looked - most are outdated), relations, anything that might boost my understanding of this alien software. Thanks, Mod-Newb |

Softimage also has a bunch of tutorials up on their site but you have to login to view them.
http://www.softimage.com/login/xsilogin.asp If you have any other questions just post them here. I also downloaded the software a few days ago and am now getting the hang of it so if I can help you I will. =) |
