Snagged the Mod Tool for XSI? Grabbed the Valve Mod Tool and are ready to start plugging away? Not a damn clue how to do anything thats listed in that program? Join the club!
The good news is, there is now a user base starting for XSI!
Dont give into the fact that max, whyll easyer to learn *by far* is becomeing more of a dinosaur every day! Why'll I actually can model in max and cant do much of anything *yet* in XSI, I will be able to soon and thats the point. The mod tool is FREE and basicaly at 100% functionality for anything that *we* would want to use it for. That being said, here is some information you will find usefull for starting down the path of learning the most difficult program known to man!
Like ive said before you arent useing max. You cant just jump into it and expect to make anything more than a cube with more sides. There are tons of videos and really nice tutorials for MAX becuase it has been out longer and *also the most pierated from back in the day*.
-Xsi has some really crappy tutorials on there website that if you feel like trying to brute force your brain into understanding it you can do that OR!
*Check out the HOLY GRAIL of XSI*
If you are anything like me, you have a life and dont feel like wasteing time reading extra crap to still not understand how you do something. You learn better from watching others do it. This man has made something that opens to the door for us wana be users of XSI *The modeling of a hand gun from start to finish!*
