Particles and Forces in XSI
Software: XSI 4.0/4.2 Foundation or higher
Délka: 3 hodiny 40 minut, 2 disky
Formát: CD-ROM
Easily learn the intuitive particle system within XSI with 3.5 hours of project-driven training. Ideal for beginner to intermediate users.
"Digital Tutors has delivered the very first set of training tools for XSI v.5.0, covering two often complex topics in the software with straightforward and compelling instruction," said Jason "Chinny" Brynford Jones, XSI product manager for Softimage Co., a subsidiary of Avid Technology, Inc. "Any 3D artist looking to gain a better understanding of dynamics and rendering will surely benefit from these titles."
