Stromberg90 · Oct 2013

Nice deals, I have a subscription though, very happy with that

Just wondering, do you plan on adding auto play for your videos get's a bit annoying to close the video and choose the next one when watching tutorials.

Ott · Oct 2013

We are currently revamping the entire site from the ground up. We're working with a killer team on the backend to relaunch with 3dmotive 4.0 in the not too distant future. The bulk of the web design has been complete, just wrapping up a few loose ends and then the entire site will get a killer makeover visually - and functionally.

Having the videos "work" properly is high on our list for features for the video page, as we haven't been happy with this iteration's video page since its inception.

Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully in the coming months you'll see a whole new site that everyone will really appreciate, with the same great content we keep trying to deliver week after week!

NegevPro · Oct 2013

That 5 for 5 deal is incredible!

Ott · Oct 2013

We hope you like it! You'd do us a huge favor by spreading the word to all your friends and giving us good reviews if you like the course, and help us continue to keep delivering them!

praetus · Oct 2013

The five for five are great deals but I can't help but feel like they're a little bit fractured. The latest one seems like a good workflow for getting to know Maya and UDK but then it has UV unwrapping for max. I currently have the subscription, so I'm not looking into buying these so much right now, but why not have that 2nd pack with the Maya UV unwrap? You guys have it on the site anyways. At least then it could be a combo pack pipeline of making game stuff in Maya, unwrapping it, rigging, and then pulling it into UDK.

I guess I just think the deals would be more appealing to buy if they centered on a specific software or goal whereas now it is kind of random.

Visum · Oct 2013

I can't recommend udemy.
I purchased 2 courses from the PROMO and I can't go through any of them because streaming stops and site goes blank.
Happening on PC, Mac and iPad. Even if I download the course for offline viewing sometimes it also doesn't want to start (ipad) and nothing helps till few hours later.
If I can't have 24/7 access to this stuff then it's a waste of time and money and I'm not going to use that website anymore.

SnowInChina · Oct 2013

hm, i bought some stuff from 3dmotive recently and i could download it just fine without any trouble

unfortunately, this was before they startet their 5 for 5 deals

these deals are crazy..

You can download from 3DMotive but Udemy is a streaming site.
Only way I found to download is through ipad but it needs native app and it doesn't work too well unfortunately.

Ott · Oct 2013

Ott · Oct 2013

EvanL · Feb 2014

Sweet! But at 69%, I'm not sure it's my brain 3dmotive wants to make out with...

Ott · Feb 2014

hmm, perhaps :P

WarrenM · Feb 2014

RobeOmega · Feb 2014

I am a little worried I just bought 3 tutorials and there is only just a download so if I lose the files is there anyway I can get them back?

Torch · Feb 2014

Robeo - with online purchases like this there's usually a system in place that allows you to re download links if needed, should be fine!

Joshmjc · Feb 2014

any plans on making more hand painted tutorials?

Torch · Feb 2014

+1 for this

Ott · Feb 2014

Hey guys! Our current system doesn't have an automated way of re-downloading, but if you need a new link we can verify the purchase and send you another one on our end, just let us know at support and we'll hook you up!

Just a few hours left to take advantage of this massive sale!

phaedarus · Feb 2014

Ott,

Does 3DMotive include courses that provide a comprehensive overview of Maya's Turtle renderer which is now included with all versions of Maya?

Apart from the short videos at Autodesk, there is seemingly nothing out there online about this game centric baking tool.
