Softimage XSI expressions tutorial - Polyloop

JakalDesign · 1st July 2006, 18:27

This is a small video tutorial I made for animating gears with some simple math and expressions. Done with Softimage XSI 5.1 but will still apply to older versions of XSI as well.

Finished animation: gear_clip.mov

Ooh, I remember this from your AnimWatch entry,
does the free edition(mod tool or whatever it's called these days) feature expressions as well?
I might have to consider getting it if it does, and try it out... ;)

Also, will you be entering anything in the flour sack challenge?
Not a lot of time left...

Hey Sardtok,
Yes, the mod tool works just the same, just has a water mark on the renders. Kind of like the Maya PLE.
