XSI Character Modeling for Animation DVD
I bought this Dvd with the hope of learning more tricks about modeling in XSI, and thats exactly what I got. I can't say enough good things about this DVD. Its around three hours long but the movies are speeded up so really its more like 5 hours long.
Simple Lighting in Softimage XSI DVD
The content is very good. Rossano hits the high points of lighting and includes some very important comments on each topic. However, the presentation method, a fast-paced non-interactive movie, is a poor way to train people.
Simple Rendering in Softimage XSI DVD
Overall, I would definately say this DVD is a worthy buy, and would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about the XSI render tree. There's a wealth of information to be had here...
