                 =============================================
                 Jeremy Birn's Secrets Of SoftImage 3D (v3.71)
                 =============================================

SECRETS OF SOFTIMAGE 3D is an independently produced video about Softimage 3D,
using version 3.7 of Softimage 3D Extreme. Made by an experienced user, not by
the software developers,  SECRETS OF SOFTIMAGE 3D  tackles real-world graphics
production issues:

CHARACTER SECRETS

Sculpting surfaces:  Creating heads,  creatures, and  characters in Softimage.
Demonstrated  with approaches for  planning, creating, and managing your NURBS
and other geometry.

Seamless skins:  blending,  filleting,  and other seamless fitting and merging
techniques are demonstrated and compared.

Geometry types and  options in Softimage:  the uses and advantages of each are
explained, with demonstrations and tricks to help you use them better.

Facial Animation:  a special section  shows what you  need  to know, including
"Shape Shifter style" set-ups and making effective target shapes.

RENDERING SECRETS

Mental Ray specific techniques and shaders are discussed,as well as techniques
usable in  either renderer.   A special  section  shows  tricks  for rendering
elements for compositing.

Lighting:  Step-by-step  techniques for Hollywood-style lighting in Softimage.

Texture Mapping:  realistic  layering and  blending  techniques,  effective UV
mapping,  luminosity and  clip mapping,  and animated  texture effects.  Image
processing to create maps demonstrated in Adobe Photoshop.

Behind the Scenes,completed scenes from Softimage-based productions are loaded
and taken  apart.  We examine the  tricks and  settings used,  and compare the
scenes to final renderings and animation.

FORMAT AND PRESENTATION

This  video   consists  of   32   segments,  each  containing  information  or
demonstrations  comparable  to one of the  "behind-the-scenes"  or  "tutorial"
sections of the 3D Renderings site, except with more detail shown in Softimage
and  explained  in narration.  It is  1:20  in length  on  one  VHS  cassette.
(1:17 actual program.)  The  video was  shot on  Betacam SP,  and  edited from
11 hours of original footage to this concise final production, using close-ups
that make the screen displays crisp and legible.

SKILL LEVEL

This video does not start at zero.  If you just got Softimage,  the best place
to start is with the Getting Started and Quick Start manuals, before you begin
to study this tape.  The first  section,  called  "Geometry 101,"  is somewhat
basic,  but the video is designed  for people who  have already  started using
Softimage,  and want to learn how to use it better.  (An exception would be if
you are still  evaluating what  software to buy  or get more  training in, and
want  a  preview  of  the  operation of  Softimage,  including  some  advanced
features.)

SOFTWARE VERSIONS

The video uses Softimage 3D Extreme version 3.7. Users of the earlier versions
3.5  and  3.51  will see some changes,  such as the  new view modes,  but most
modelling and rendering techniques remain the same. Users of Softimage version
3.0x  will  find more  differences  in the  implementation of  NURBS modelling
functions. Users without Mental Ray will still be able to use a large share of
the texturing, lighting, and rendering options, but some of the demonstrations
are specific to Mental Ray. Users without the 3D Extreme option will also find
that MetaClay modeling is not supported on their system as demonstrated in the
video.

THE DIRECTOR

The video was directed by Jeremy Birn.  Jeremy is an  expert user of Softimage
3D and has been  training  other users  in Softimage  for the  past  4  years.
In  addition to working as a freelance animator in Hollywood, Mr. Birn teaches
a course in  Softimage 3D  at The California  Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts)
in Valencia, CA.
