Introduction to Dynamics

What is covered in this training series?

This training series dives deep into the inner workings of simulations and dynamics in SOFTIMAGE|XSI. The simulation engines are explained in depth; as well the technical side of dynamics is explained comprehensively through the process of dissecting the different components that construct the simulation and the simulation environment.

After learning the technical details of the dynamic simulation and the tools that we can use to control these simulations, you will learn to use dynamics to your advantage to achieve actual results using example production scenes designed to teach how to work with dynamic tools in real situations, as well as how to solve common problems that can be encountered when attempting to setup simulations. Learn to work with rigidbodies, softbodies, forces, constraints, and more.

Who is this training series for?

Designed for beginners, hobbyists, students, and professional artists wishing to learn how to use dynamics within SOFTIMAGE|XSI; this training series takes you step by step through the entire process of setting up complex dynamic simulations and using this knowledge in a real production sense. This training series is right for you if you are a student, beginning hobbyist, professional with 2 or less years of experience, or a professor looking to pick up some new techniques to show your class. If you are new to dynamics and simulations in SOFTIMAGE|XSI, this training is perfect for you.
