This is the XSI Transition Training also known as XSI Training Sessions uploaded to YouTube.
Thanks to Autodesk and the Letterbox Animation Studios guys for making these videos available through Redi-Vivus. Be sure to set aside enough time to view the entire videos since all of these are quite lengthy. I also uploaded the course files to MediaFire since there is no waiting period for downloading. All praise should go to the creators of the content. Enjoy!

You must really love uploading stuff...

Talking about transitions this is (was) a Wiki kept by valve and it has valuable info for people coming from Max/Maya to Softimage. In case you get to know someone transitioning to the bright side of the Force
