This must be the most newbie question ever, but I can't find these great sesi video tutorials that I keep hearing about.
I've just downloaded the 3dbuzz ones and they seem very good but I want as much reference as possible. Why can't I find the sesi ones? I guess I'm just being blind.
Anyway, I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Also some of the post here mention a Houdini book. I'd definitely like to get that too, but I don't know the title or where I can find it. I had a quick look on Amazon but it didn't show up.
Thanks in advance

plain speed is not as important as people usually think. Render in OpenGL if you really need speed. What is great in PRMan, Mantra and view others is beautiful relation between “image quality” and “speed”. Very often people do some unserious tests with two ball on grid with GI or something and after that they say: “well! final render is much faster!”.
Make your scene really heavy, turn on antialais x12, displacement, motion blur and still be able to control quality of every pixel on your image, increase or decrease it according to your needs, whatever. And after all mantra stays on top (with view others), while many others were lost in space of hundreds of hours of rendering.
“The curve of productivity”:
