old Mesmer book sample files?

Post by dewf » 21 Apr 2013, 06:06

Would anybody happen to have these? For the books by Anthony Rossano (XSI Illuminated: Foundation, and Softimage XSI 5). Needless to say, the original website is out of commission and archive.org doesn't have the .zip files that used to be hosted there.

Yes, I realize they're ancient, but I prefer to start with books because beginner video tutorials go wayyy too slowly for me, and I prefer the info-density and conceptual overviews of the written word.

Still looking -- to clarify, I'm looking for the CDROM contents (scene examples etc) from these two books:

Found some stuff for the first book in my archive, total it's about 75Mb.
Just tell me where to dump it.

Woot!

Any file host would work (filehosting.org, rapidshare, etc), but if you already use Dropbox I'm PM'ing you my email address now.

Thanks in advance!
