Softimage Production Series DVD 5 - Simulation in XSI 4.2

Softimage Production Series Training DVD #5 - Simulation

Through both introductory and production examples, you will learn how to create stunning effects by using the very extensive and flexible Simulation tools in XSI, including Rigid Body Dynamics, Hair and Particles.

• By covering styling, Dynamics, Shading and Render Optimization in depth, you will become skilled at XSI Hair technology in a very short period of time.

• The core concepts of the new Rigid Body Dynamics in XSI are explained, from basic RBD concepts to detailed RBD rigs, allowing you to create such complex animation as collision, motor and spring.

• This overview of the core concepts of the -Particle System in XSI, which includes useful particle examples, will teach you how to re-create natural phenomena and how to compose elaborate visual effects.
