New 3dmotive DVD

AlecMoody

Hey everyone,
I just released part 1 of a DVD that covers building this case prop:


The first half is something like 4 hours long and covers high poly, low poly, UVs and baking with a focus on working quickly.

Check it out:

The second half is coming soon and is going to cover texture painting, basic unreal import/setup, and taking portfolio captures

Hey Alec, thanks for producing this tutorial! The result looks great!

ZacD

I wish I wasn't unemployed, otherwise I'd totally check it out.

Fantastic Outcome... So sad theres not more Maya related stuff in that kind of materia.

Cheers.

PixelMasher

thats awesome man. I just wish there was the option to buy the dvds and not have to sign up for streaming service. I would much rather have a backup on my hdd for quick reference than having to pay a monthly fee.

bump. good stuff man, the texture came out great!

David-J

Looks great. I agree with PixelMasher. It would be cool if there was a way to buy the tutorials separately like before instead of the monthly subscription.

MainManiac

Before each tutorial was $15

Cant you just buy 1 month for $15 and download every tutorial and then let your sub run out?

achmedthesnake

I thought the new subscription was streaming videos only (non download)?
Maybe they got burnt with someone torrenting the vids...

MainManiac

Theres no way to stop the root of the problem. I've purchased 1-2 tutorials from 3d motive, its not hard just to use fraps or something you can't stop anything nowadays.

KennyTies

Going to check it out when I have time, your tutorial on hard surface texturing taught me alot. Thank you.

POFFINGTON

MOODY! Fantastic, I can't wait to watch

z3phon

Looking forward to watching this and the second part.
I find the 3D Motive tutorials to be one of the best, not too long and or dragged, but I really wish we could purchase just specific tutorials like before.

Not to be pedantic
well i am actually if its streaming video then its not actually a DVD btw :P
i wish you would go back to the non subscription model though honestly
it does look nice though and say hi to DOTT for me :P

AlecMoody

haha. Yeah, I should probably stop referring to it as a DVD.

I understand for people who already own all the old content the streaming model isn't appealing. If you don't already own a bunch of the old content than paying $22 for a single month becomes a really good deal.


The other cool thing is that this subscriber model allows for more variation in the size and format of training content.

Hey everyone- part two is out now. This section covers texture painting, unreal import and basic shader setup, and lighting viewport captures for your portfolio:

YES !! Texturing Part i'm going to check this out

jeremiah_bigley

did 3dmotive get rid of the option just to buy the single video?

Jessica Dinh

Yeah, now you just buy subscriptions for streaming.

jeremiah_bigley

you know that kinda sucks When I did that feedback for 3dmotive for their new direction I didn't know that they were talking about getting rid of the option they had and going to only subscriptions.
I keep up to date with all the videos, so I don't want to have to pay a monthly/ month to month subscription to only stream the one video I haven't seen.

Makes me sad. Gnomon has a subscription where you can stream, but you can still buy single vids.

To be fair it's only $22 a month at the most. That more then pays for the single tutorial plus you get all the others as well.

Great stuff man! I'm definitely gonna check it out.
