Help

[Breakneckspeed]

Im Just starting off with xsi and could someone help me with a few things.

How do I move or rotate the camera without moving the Model. I use " s " to Move around.

Im trying to render a single building that I exported from Sketchup but it seems to blurry and it doesnt show really any details. Its highly detailed in Sketch up btw. I followed the rendering tutorial on Digital-Tutors Digital-Tutors / XSI / Rendering / Physical Sky Shader in XSI.

I want my backround to be grey/white and the ground to be grey/white to really bring out the building.

I seen so many renders of objects on the web that give off an most like a clay effect. If someone could explain to me how achieve the effect im going for it would be Great.

When I render it out the building looks to be very shadowy and blurred even though I clicked final gathering and added a sky. As I said before I need the ground grey/white and backround the same. Does xsi have planes the same as 3d max.

Theres many questions in my head atm but I will post them here when I think of another one again

Im sorry For my nooby approach but you have to start our somwhere right ?



Thanks for your consideration
