im new give me some ideas with XSI

[Signal2Noise]

Dude, post in the Softimage forum! You'll get better responses this way.

What I like to see from a "newb" is keeping the fridge stocked with beer.

To create something, use your imagination. The possibilities are endless.

[Attilathehun]

Ya but the problem is the things i want to create I CANT DO!! so give me some ideas that would be good for a newb to do. thats all im askin. im postin everything on softimage forum so i know wat to do when it comes to gettin ideas. i just post it hear cause there are more people in this forum that know wat theyre doin. thanks for the reply.:annoyed:

[Signal2Noise]

Hmmm...all that money spent on a nice app like XSI and you don't know what to do with it. I feel your pain.



:hmm:

For inspiration why not check out the Works in Progress and Gallery/Finished Works forums?

[Attilathehun]

true...have you done anything that would impress me? cause ive done 1 good scene and its the shittiest basketball court youve ever seen. let me see wat youve done..maybe i can get some ideas throught that well thanks for your replies. XSI is a great app but i think id go with maya.

Look up tutorials, Highend3d (www.highend3d.com) is a good place to start. There should be numerous links also in the Softimage forum here.
Start very basic even if this means you have to animate a simple ball bouncing. You want to learn the basics of CG and not be overwhelmed by the software at the same time. I would suggest actually starting on something easier, and im willing to guess you wont have that much trouble switching so try a simpler package, learn the basics then learn a highend 3d package.
Dont worry about the app. You can create crap in any program and great works of art even with poser. Though that might be stretching it. Having 10000 powerful tools at your disposal isnt worth jack if you cant animate well.

OBTW, if you do have a valid copy of XSI and find it frustrating i'll be happy to trade it for my copy of Animation Master.

How old are you?

[Attilathehun]

im already fimiliar with all the tutorial on highend3d. thats how i started when i used XSI. i just need to go up a level and i dont have idea where to start. ill be back later i g2g. thanks for your reply thought. if you got any ideas then write back

Methinks the last thing I want to do is try to impress the likes of you.

Some how I don't find this hard to believe. Dude, use your own imagination.


... well thanks for your replies. XSI is a great app but i think id go with maya.

Sounds to me like your just looking for flame bait. Besides, I have a feeling you'll suck at any app you try. Good riddance.

[Goon]

K. youve done all the tuts? Create a small, simple short animation, or join the collaborative team projects forum. There are a lot of projects in need of help down there and many are n00bs.
As for ideas, im gonna leave that up to you. But you can check conceptart.org (www.conceptart.org) for inspiration/fan art concepts if you are into modelling.

That's a cool link, Goon. Thanks :thumbsup:

[ggg]

flame bait
:rolleyes:

[Goon]

There seem to be a lot of these conflagatory characters lately. Is there some jackass thats spamming the boards or are the just a bunch of little kids more used to flame forums?

"Sounds to me like your just looking for flame bait." <----- This shows a realization that this person, Signal to Noise, understands that the thread starter, Attilathehun, is baiting people with derogatory sentiments in the hopes of getting others to insult him.

"Besides, I have a feeling you'll suck at any app you try." <----- Even though Signal to Noise showed that he was aware of Attilathehun's attempts to create insults, he decides to go ahead and inflict the very first insults in this thread.

[Signal2Noise]

Hmm, you're right Takkun! It does seem ironic.

Sometime's I can't seem to control myself.:shrug:

Something you're familiar with (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53508) too, eh?;)

I guess I'm a poor example of sophistication and maturity.

Ah, well. 'Twas fun anyways. Worth every keystroke.

[Attilathehun]

Every statement you make is true but you need to limit your speech so you can encourage instead of talkin shit. so i recomend that you give me ideas to get better then just say how much i suck. and if you think other wise then your not doin what CG is sopposed to be.:annoyed:

[EdHarriss]

Attilathehun, please have a look at this FAQ (http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html).
It only takes about 20 min to read and will enhance your experience in this forum greatly. After you have read it, feel free to come back and ask some more questions. But until then, I think you should hold off for a bit.


Thanks.
