“Center Manipulation ” by i3D Tutorials Geometric objects in SOFTIMAGE|XSI all have a center by which the object pivots on its local axis. Changing the position of an object’s center can have great benefits when it comes to manipulating those objects later. In this video, we will discover what the “center” of an object is, as well as how to...

“Nudging Objects ” by i3D Tutorials In XSI we have many ways of interacting with objects and moving them with great precision. One of these methods of manipulating objects with a great degree of control is by nudging them. In this video, we will get to see how to nudge objects in your active view by moving them a pixel at a time. To see the Nudging...
