Softimage training partner Digital-Tutors has released MODELING NEXT-GEN CHARACTERS IN XSI and RIGGING NEXT-GEN CHARACTERS IN XSI -- the first two releases in an exclusive series of training focusing on a pipeline approach to creating game-ready characters using SOFTIMAGE|XSI.
MODELING NEXT-GEN CHARACTERS IN XSI offers seven hours of practical training on character modeling for games and techniques for overcoming common production challenges, while utilizing an innovative workflow being used by top studios. RIGGING NEXT-GEN CHARACTERS IN XSI contains six hours of project-based training to building character rigs for next-gen games and proven techniques to creating custom tools, enveloping and weighting, and preparing rigs for animation in XSI. Both are ideal for new and experienced artists and animators.
Highlights from MODELING NEXT-GEN CHARACTERS IN XSI include: rotoscope preparation, building from reference art, blocking-in forms, working with polygon budgets, adding muscle flow, modeling with symmetry, reducing model resolution manually, merging and welding geometry, creating efficient geometry, strategically adding detail, extruding geometry, splitting and adding edges, extracting geometry, simplifying shapes, proportional modeling, adjusting pivot points, creating useful topology, modeling from primitives, and checking character for appeal.
Highlights from RIGGING NEXT-GEN CHARACTERS IN XSI include: rigging techniques for games, scripting custom tools, groups and transform groups, mirroring rigs, mirroring weights, models, exporting weights, automating follow-through, creating custom spine rigs, character key sets, intuitive forearm rigs, custom toolbars, building animator-friendly controls, animating pivots, enveloping techniques, polygon cluster visibility, scene organization, and working creatively with expressions.
