it has a huge "plugin is needed to play this content" box, but clicking it tells me there's no available plugin. i've just manually updated flash to check if it was that, i'm running firefox, on win7 64bit.
Yeah, I saw that as well. I can't watch anything unless I change my browser.... I really hope they're working towards a fix and it's not just "change browsers, lol"
Really great update Don, nice clean layout and everything is organized. Although I have one question, will you be implementing a forum into the website? That was one of my favorite parts of the old website.
Awesome to hear Ott. You guys have been doing an awesome job and I'm sure that the overhaul is very involved. I didn't mean to come off negative as you guys have helped me tons with the videos you've been producing. Keep up the good work.
Hi Nick! We adjusted our access prices, yes. As we've grown considerably, and this is the first time we've changed them since we started streaming a couple years ago, we've had to adjust accordingly. Our 3 month plan is only $3 more than our previous prices, and our 6 and 12 month points are just a few dollars more than they used to be.
Our goal is weekly updates and content, so we feel for the access to our library the prices are still a considerable deal. We also regularly run promotionals and discounts, as well as a standing 25% discount for students, and 35% discount for educators. I hope that clarifies!
Is the forum going to be coming back online? It was cool to see peoples work that they learned from the videos and so on, I lurked it from time to time.
Its a shame the video player doesn't work with firefox right now, that's the main thing stopping me from subscribing right now.
We're working to get forums up soon as well. The Firefox issue is high on our list, and we're investigating our new player options. We had switched our player to support mobile, but once we had chosen the player and gone considerably far down the road we didn't realize that FireFox was no longer being supported. We're hoping to have a new player / fix in the coming week or so.
For both of the above - email us with your school details, and if possible, from your .edu account with the name of your existing account if you already have one - and we'll set you up
Cool thanks for the feedback guys! We've got a list of bugs we're squashing this week, then moving on to updating our player to fix the Firefox issue. Lots and lots of polish and updates coming soon, and not to mention a killer lineup in store!
Awesome sale offer Don. Looking at the download section now and going to get it tomorrow. Just figuring which i'll need most (and the old maya = movies / 3dsmax = games debate to decide hehe). Anyway awesome deal just wanted to say that.

is that already active?
Also.. does that only count for students in an actual school (with building and all) or also for home students (full time home students i mean then).
We're willing to work with all students!

Are there more environment related videos planned (I'm too much a newbie to be doing characters and I enjoy environments more anyhow)?
Is there ever going to be a way to download the videos directly? I hate watching them online in a window.
Thanks
More environment and prop art in the works!
You can download videos as opposed to the subscription plan here - https://www.3dmotive.com/downloads
Hope that helps!
