I think you are confusing what is being said here. I don't feel that he is saying that the workflow is necessarily better in XSI, which surely by default its not better than say Hexagon (for modeling). But it does have a much larger toolset and flexibility than Carrara. Along with that you CAN customize it to work how YOU want to work. For example, you can write a script to do a set function (or set of functions) that you perform often. That can't be done in Hexagon or Carrara.
If you want to see real examples of XSI functionality. I'd suggest checking out http://www.xsi-blog.com
Or watch the mesmer videos talked about above. XSI is not BETTER, its more FLEXIBLE. Its one of the few applications I've looked at if I were to leave Carrara. It has a massive learning curve, but the rewards are great. |
Nichod,
I am not confusing any thing but I think you might be confused. I am not saying XSI does not have a great tool set. I am not asking info about XSI. Why can't any of you just post a simple image or AVI of something you have done with the XSI software? I say show me don't tell. I am not saying Vue can not do great land scapes but what I like to see are images by people that can actually use the software and show screen shots rahter than posts by people who just repeat what is on the website.
I can post Maya is a very powefull software program for figure animation. It has much more powerfull features for rigging than Carrara. If you want to see proof look at Spider Man 2. The shots of Doctor Octopus in the Water and climbing the walls were done with Maya. I can post how great Maya is but I opt not to because I can not actually prove it. My statement does not show anyone why the rigging in Maya is better than Carrara. It shows than I can read the Maya website and trust that Maya has better rigging and rendering than Carrara and Lightwave. If I do buy XSI and like the rigging more than Carrara you can all bet your sweet arses I will show some screen shots of the rigging of XSI VS Carrara.
I guess I will just be one of the boys and start posting about how great Maya and XSI are even though I can not actually use either of them. I wanna blend in.
Reactor,
I used Modo as an example. If you post Modo/XSI is much better than Hexagon I would expect you to be very good with both. Reactor, I know you now realize the point of my other post but now I think Nichod is confused.
