<div class="IPBDescription">Hmm... need a good tuitorial</div> Ok, I'm trying to learn XSI... but I need a good tuitorial that can teach me all I need to know from installation to my date of death (in other words, the COMPLETE IDIOTS GUIDE TO XSI MODELING <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

    Use netview and go to the tutorials page.

    Do the boom box tutorial. teaches u all the basics.

    or:

    AHH! I hate having to use this TINY resolution...


    I can't READ the tuitorials... much less figure out what one and what order I want / need to do them in 0o'


    Meh, I hate to sound REALLY stupid... but walk me thru (via hyperlinks I guess... 0o') what tuitorials I need to do in what order like you would someone with Mental Retardation (I'm REALLY hopeless on this aren't I)

    I tried xsi...it was very very very complicated. You're probly better off with milkshape or a different program. I spent lots of time trying to figure out xsi. It seemed slow and was very confusing.(Maybe it was slow cause i had to have super resolution and my comp just sucks). My advice is to try a differnet program.

    Well, I have MS3D... but I need someone to tell me how to set it up so the tuitorials actually work... 0o'

    The default installation setup is different from all the tuitorials I've seen... Griz, what tuit's did you use?

    XSI isn't face by face modeling. It's mainly deforming basic shapes. Anywho just follow their tutorials, I promise they help a lot. You can find them at:

    <!--c1--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>CODE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='CODE'><!--ec1-->C:\Softimage\XSI_EXP-for-HL2\EXPWeb\quickstart\tutorial_PDFs<!--c2--></td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'><!--ec2-->

    You don't have to do them in the order they provide but you should definately do one through six.

    Yeah. basic stuff really.

    U need to use the menu on the left hand side:

    Get -> Primitive -> Cube (there may be another menu to get to cube..i forget)

    Then press y....click on a face in perspective view, or drag over faces...then hold alt and right click (keep mouse button pressed down) and choose extrude along axis..

    Amazing...u've just done one of the most basic things in XSI!

    Thats the basis of how most models are formed, that and scaling and rotating vertices.

    Valve ERC has a tutorial on how to create a model in it, lemme dig up the URL.

    EDIT:
