Category:Documentation
The XSI Wiki provides rich, complementary information to that provided by the documentation integrated in XSI. The XSI and SDK guides are a primary source of knowledge that are installed automatically with XSI as part of a standard setup. The guides are shipped in Compiled HTML Help format (*.chm) which offers fast and advanced full-text search, among other useful features.
This page, affectionately referred to as "Doc Central", provides universal access to all the core documentation for the current XSI release. The guides are available in HTML format and can be viewed online (with the very nifty Google Free Search) or downloaded to your computer for desktop viewing (with an almost as nifty JScript search).

Legacy Tutorials Some customers requested access to the old XSI Tutorial guides. These guides have not been updated since version 5.0. Many of the feature workflows have changed since v.5.0, but you can still find a lot of useful information if you are willing to dig through it: * Tutorial Guide version 5 - Part 1 (http://softimage.wiki.avid.com/images/2/22/Tut1.pdf) (PDF download) * Tutorial Guide version 5 - Part 2 (http://softimage.wiki.avid.com/images/6/6f/Tut2.pdf) (PDF download)
