Automotive Modeling.

Hi guys,

Look i'm new to XSI and extremely new to 3D art, i one played with 3DMax but that was it.
What i'm looking for is any tutorials on how to Model Cars in XSI Modtool.
I can't seem to find any and the only link i did fins on google was dead.

Does anyone know of such tutorials?

I do not want to sound cheap but i am only a hoppyist and cannot afford to buy the more popular software, + XSI is connected with some of my fav games. HL2... lol

I have the same situation as you man. Keep on searching the net for XSI car modelling but no success. It's either dead link or just a redirecting website. Can anyone just post here this would help us noobs. :)

I don't know how confortable you are with XSI. Getting confortable with XSI should be your first priority.

If you are very confortable with XSI modeling, texturing, lighting and rendering, then transfering techniques from other programs to XSI should be fairly easy.If you are confortable with XSI then the following links may be useful:
