Basic Modelling 101 - Learning a bit about XSI and Making a simple prop

So, you have XSI all downloaded and set up and you're anxious to start modelling, Well, here are the first two VTM's. The first gives you a brief overview of XSI, shows you a layout and a few of the important menus, keyboard shortcuts and the basic tools. Its around 10 minutes long and doesn't really require you to do anything, but you should watch it just to familiarise yourself with the basic controls. The second VTM actually gets you modelling what will be your first static prop. A signpost, as seen below. About 30 minutes long at the end you should have a reasonable looking sign post, ready for the next step of the tutorial, which will be uvmapping.

Grabs the VTMs here:
Part one - An introduction to XSI
Part two - Making your first model.
