Well, for those who don't mind to switch to MAYA, there is a new tutorial from Digital Tutors to help them stay back on our beloved giant AUTODESK Ship (whose silhouette slowly moving toward the bright future suspiciously reminds me of a TITANIC )
We are actively working on producing transitional training materials which will of course be at no cost to users. I know they cannot come soon enough but I promise to let you know as soon as anything is available.
the digital tutor video, though, I watched most of it and it's just useful if you have never opened Maya at all. It's worth a watch but I wouldn't sign up to DT for it
Really not sure if a Toyota Hilux is the best example.. from life experience yeah they last forever but not in a good way for the end user... this is purely me talking about the truck but lol, yes its great for farm owners etc - people that don't have to use it, usually most hated by the people that actually have to drive it since they wont die a gracefull death forcing the owner to buy something new.... not sure how this fits in with xsi, sorry.. just struck me as an unfortunate analogy hehe.
