Technical Direction in XSI with Python
with Raffaele Fragapane Course starts 13 July 2009.
Registration: Closed
In this new workshop, Raffaele Fragapane tackles the important elements in Softimage, Python and the Design & Programming of Technical Direction. In doing so, Raffaele will illuminate the pathways to aspiring TDs and artists who wish to gain a better understanding of what goes on ‘under the hood’.
Python and Softimage basics introduces students to simple, efficient ways of dealing with the technicalities of a 3D application, while giving students the tools to gain a new understanding of how to problem solve and elegantly design the solutions. Topics covered are immediately supported by real world examples, tools, procedures and design processes that apply to actual production.
This workshop is aimed at the beginner who needs to push themselves to an intermediate level while helping the intermediate scripters consolidate and expand their knowledge to more advanced topics.
By the end of this workshop, students should be able to write various tools to manage scene data to help the day to day workflow, understand basic software design problems and solutions, develop and deploy efficiently in python both python modules and Softimage Self-Installing-Plugins, and to have gained an understanding of programming practices and concepts that will enable them to easily expand on the subjects on their own.
