Explore the Render Tree and gain control over the appearance of your objects in XSI with 2.5 hours of project-based training. Ideal for new and beginning users.
Productivity-focused and results-oriented, "Introduction to XSI Render Tree", provides enjoyable, hands-on projects developed to maximize your understanding of XSI’s Render Tree and give you ultimate control in the appearance of your objects - a perfect compliment to "Fundamentals of mental ray". Popular topics from "Introduction to XSI Render Tree" include: navigating the Render Tree, bumpmap generators, working with displacement maps, using texture projections, using mix nodes to combine textures, advanced texture placement, using light shaders for volumetric effects, layering textures added control, working with the ambient occlusion shader, using the Material Editor and numerous additional lessons allowing you to work smarter, faster, and with more creativity in XSI.
Includes a free trial of SOFTIMAGE|XSI v.5 Foundation!
