modeling vids and books

[Atyss]

There are no modeling books and videos for XSI, just books and videos that cover modeling among other aspects. The only modeling lessons I know are

- The Cumbria Training CDs, www.cmagic.co.uk, videos on CDs. Character modeling, but you just learn to model a head with one technique (box modeling).

- XSI Illuminated: Character, www.mesmer.com, book. This is mostly a reference book rather than lessons.


Hope this helps

As Atyss said there are no dedicated modelling books or videos on the market for the moment, though there are a couple of good websites such as:

Don't limit yourself to stuff written specifically for xsi. videos for other apps would also help alot. You just have to figure out how to apply the techniques to XSI.:wavey:
