Two more XSI4 DVDs! 2004-06-17 - By Anthony Rossano
Back Two more XSI v.4.0 DVDs are done and ready to ship out!
Yup, we produced two more DVDs aimed at the XSI beginner who needs to learn how to use the lighting and rendering tools to get professional results. I called them 'SIMPLE LIGHTING' and 'SIMPLE RENDERING' even though they cover stuff like volumic lights, final gathering, using HDRI images and hooking up render trees because I wanted to set the expectation that these would be simple, easy to follow, aimed at new people on your teams just getting up to speed. The DVDs are fairly short (an hour and an hour and a half) because they are sped up and edited down, not just camtasiad as I worked. They are also cheap, to make them easy to approve for purchase. And, if you don't want to wait for the delivery (only a few days, we actually waited to get them in this time before announcing them) you can buy a streaming version and see it immediately.
Just surf on over to http://www.mesmer.com/ and links to the DVDs and streaming videos are on the front page. They'll be available on Amazon and from stores in a few weeks.
As usual, I made a version of each WHOLE DVD available for free streaming download in the form we call the 'short attention span theater'. Of course, the 9 gig DVD is sped up to 2 minutes long and compressed to 2 mb, but you can see exactly what is in the full product before you buy it!

I hope they help. If you all like them, we'll make more. ATR
