Learning XSI?

glib

I haven't used it since school, but I'd like to increase my familiarity with this package and hopefully do a portfolio project or two in it. The biggest help to me when I was switching from maya to max were a set of 3 tutorials in the subd thread where I could listen/watch to an aussi dude as he did some subd work.

Does anyone know of any video tutorials in that format for XSI? Ideally I want ones that will quickly run through their steps, just so I can see their workflows and common tools, but I'll take beginner-3d intro-to-xsi type tutorials as well if need be. As is always the case with this stuff for me, if I could just sit down with someone that was comfortable with this for an hour or two, I'd have all I needed to get started.

Man that sounds awesome, but all 3 are 'file not found'.

I see only broken links in this thread, PolyHertz's link is dead, the softimage video tutorial page failed loading at home in opera and here it fails when trying to download one of the 7zips

renderhjs: thats odd, It loads for me just fine...

Poly's worked for me, the others were coming up 'file not found' for me as well.
