Title: A good overview of XSI
Product review: If you are a new or an intermediate user of Softimage/XSI, you will find a lot of good, useful information in this book. This book is a general, high-level overview of the core features of XSI, accompanied by tutorials covering most of those features. Although I am very familiar with most of the information presented, there were still enough tidbits of cool info to make the book worth the price for me.If you are an advanced user - or looking to examine any of XSI's features in depth, however, you will probably be disappointed. A number of the exercises and tutorials come from the older Mesmer XSI series of books (also by Mr Rossano)- which have been updated to be compatible with V5.
