xsi:foundations

Just purchased Xsi:foundations today its really a nice app just hard to find any good tutorials around

got a nice little pipeline working wings>silo 2.0>Xsi for rigging animation and cutscenes the ability to be able to add pre animated skeletons is cool

Rig creation is a bit hard to get to grips with at first but once you get to grips with the parenting thing \O/ things come easy.

three hours for a naf 7 headed venus flytrap :)

PS: I heard a rumor from the brother of a friend of a friend of someone whom I know that some videos are out in the wilderness...
PPS: Don't ask me, I don't believe in such rumors ;)))

This app just keeps getting better..

At first I was struggling to get any form of export working then finally after trying a zillion types of export pipelines and only being succesful a handfull of times i came across a referance to shadow rigging it was all the complex rigs that were messing up the file formats on export

ie one skin wrapped around 30 nulls powered by a complex rig with some 100+ control points

export to .x bingo nice basic character animation playing in tv3d \o/
