Course Description:
3D in a Day workshops provide 6 hours of hands-on instruction in
Softimage|XSI, one of the most complex and powerful 3D animation &
special effects software packages available on the planet!
The course is designed to introduce the student to the software, and
instill confidence in the use of this challenging tool. Students will
be instructed in the basic functions of the software such as:
- Working in 3D space
- Polygonal and nurbs modeling
- Basic material shader creation
- Path animation
- Basic Lighting and cinematography
- Rendering a final movie
In this class the students will learn the basic interface of the program, and then immediately set to work building and assembling a simple set of a pool table. After adding more set pieces, students will begin to animate the balls moving on the table after a trick shot.
After animation, students will add materials to color the scene and lights to illuminate it. Finally, the completed animation will be
rendered out!
This is a great class for people looking to understand the basic principles of a powerful software package.
