Xsi Help

[The Roach]

Hey guys,

I am currently a motion graphics artist/compositor. I have purchased xsi so help with the motion graphics/compositing side of things. So I have the program any suggestions on where to begin on learning this thing???

Is there any site that actullay has organized tutorials?


Thanks for the help.

The first place to go is always the manual. The best place for tutorials (IMHO) is 3DTutorial.com (http://www.3dtutorial.com/xsi.php). There's some great stuff on there.

Cheers.
