XSIBlog

How can you put a blue- or green-screen in the XSI 4.x Fx Tree keyer in two clicks?

This article is intended to be a fast primer to understanding XML for anyone who hasn”t had the time to investigate its capabilities. XML is a text based file format that allows you to define your own structure within the conventions laid out by the XML format. What follows will hopefully show you the benefits of using XML and how you can use it to manipulate data with minimum effort. How you then apply this to your technical solutions inside and outside of XSI is up to you.

The first part of this article looks at the ideas and concepts behind XML data. The second half will show how easy it is to put it into practice in scripting and C++.

Hi folks,
I’ve heavily reorganized the category structure of XSIBlog in the hopes that it will be easier to find content pertaining to your areas of interest. I’ve added quite a few and, as a whole, categories are much more specialized while an article can span multiple categories.
I hope it’ll help you wade your way through!
Cheers.

XSI 5 has a keymap that remaps many keys to location more familiar to users comming from Maya. What’’s in it for you if you”ve never used Maya?

In the near future, XSI Five-O will be released, and I thought I”d start using this space to publish some tips and tricks about the current version, and the new features we”ve been working on for Five. Let’’s start with camera navigation with the Alt key.
