Softimage offer flagship software free online

Softimage have launched ‘The SOFTIMAGE|XSI Experience’, a new, no-cost two-CD pack comprising the full feature set of their top-of-the-line SOFTIMAGE|XSI v.2.0 Advanced system, the complete searchable, SOFTIMAGE|XSI v.2.0 Online Documentation Library and a comprehensive video-based training module.
This non-commercial offering gives 3-D animation professionals – as well as anyone interested in learning or mastering the art – unlimited, free access to the flagship Softimage nonlinear animation [NLA] system and tools to learn it from the ground up.
The SOFTIMAGE|XSI Experience CD gives aspiring and experienced digital artists alike access to the complete range of functionality of the top-of-the-line SOFTIMAGE|XSI Advanced v.2.0 system. Users can work with leading-edge modelling capabilities including NURBS, polygonal modelling and Subdivision Surfaces, plus the SOFTIMAGE|XSI nonlinear animation editing and mixing functions including IK/FK blending and the unique animation mixer. Users can also test-drive the fully-integrated 2-D/3-D compositing environment; unique Real-Time Shader technology, dynamics simulation including the brand-new hair/fur simulation subsystem; and industry-leading SOFTIMAGE|XSI interactive rendering technology, based on mental ray v.3.0 software.
In addition to offering the highest-end version of SOFTIMAGE|XSI, Softimage further distinguishes its offering by making it the only free-access software in the industry to utilise the same file format as its production version. This compatibility means that users may load and learn from real production scenes and are not limited by a special file format. In addition, all SOFTIMAGE|XSI v.2.0 features are described in-depth in the included, complete production version of the SOFTIMAGE|XSI v.2.0 Online Documentation Library with full index and search capabilities.
