[3DCoat From Scratch (Video Training)]

What ever happened to this series?  I see all the videos now get a 404 error when clicking on them.

[Any project-based tutorials introducing the basic workflow of 3D-Coat?]

I noticed the Javis Jones site is now down. Also I remember on the 3D Coat website they used to have project based tutorials listed but now it is just presentation videos on the features of. What ever became of the legacy tutorials?

[All tutorials offline]

This link doesn't seem to work anymore....

This is the link to penguin object: www.3d-coat.com/tutorials/p05.lwo

[Interface basics (2.08 and up to just under v3)]

There are now cheaper alternatives to TechSmiths Camtasia Studio that let you record audio as well as video. SnagIt latest version captures video, so for $49 you can create tutorials. Also, Corel Video Studio Pro X5 has a new screen capture feature built in as well. This option you get screen capture along with a full feature video editor at one low price. Happy tutorial making...

[Services suspended for First Person Shooter Character Creation Series]

I just tried the link and now its totally been taken down. I think they need to take it off the webpage as a available paid tutorial.

[Trees generator]

Yeah, not only trees but tumble weeds as well....

[Octane Render]

I see there is now a 50% off the lite version. Anyone use this program?

[Octane Render]

It would of been nice to know about the 50% off sale before it was over...

[An "Official 3DCoat" Training?]

I personally like the "Why waist your time with anything else?" as opposed to Why waste your time...

[An "Official 3DCoat" Training?]

I'm getting a little confused here. I read in this forum that Javis Jones was the "Official" 3D Coat Video Training provider.

When I go on Kurv Studios site they say they are the "Official" Video Training provider.

About the 'Official Guide' Series

KURV studios has worked very closely with the Pilgway team and created this advanced title from L.J. Bamforth. This title shows off 3D-Coat's advanced retopology tools as well as the UV unwrapping tools as well. Our Official Guide series is the best that Pilgway has to offer for 3D-Coat training.

You want the best training on 3D Coat, this is it! The Official Guide Series from L.J. Bamforth and KURV studios. Why waist your time with anything else?

What gives here? Are there more than one "Official" provider? And is Kurv Studios really partnering with Pilgway to produce video tutorials?

[3D-Coat at SIGGRAPH]

Could be that NewTek wants to include 3DC in their Lightwave upgrade/purchase offer. I got Vue Infinite and ImageModeler on previous Lightwave upgrade purchases.

[Best tools to make video (or interactive) tutorials :]

I love using Camtasia's baby brother Jing. At least it's what I'm gonna use till I buy Camtasia.

I was just on the TechSMITH site and I couldn't figure out why someone would want to use Jing and then import into Camtasia Studio when they can just use Camtasia to record in the beginning? I can't think of any advantage to use Jing over Camtasia can you? From looking over the demo videos it appears that Jing would be great for creating short video tutorials of 5 minutes or less and at FREE its a no brainer for adding to your toolbox.

BTW, there is a newly release CamStudio 2.6 Beta if anyone is interested in testing it out.

[3D Coat for animating]

For animation I would second the use of Messiah. A lot of Lightwave and Modo users go this route.

[SpaceNavigator]

Does 3D Coat support the SpaceNavigator device?

[3D-Coat User Group Webinar]

Enjoyed the webinar Javis.

Really cool that Andrew was in attendance.

Was this a one time event or are they still going on?

[3DC discount?]

But the "Special Price" is only good for users of the Shade 3D program.

[Flame war in cgtalk forum]

I was kind of laughing about that on Twitter. I came across that zbrush thread and started reading, before I knew it it looked like a 3DC flame war was starting (I have not posted in that thread). I remembered the same thing happening on the NewTek forum and realized it was started by the same person.

Its probably better to just post an image made in 3D Coat then spend the time on words. A picture speaks a thousand words...

[Desktop Shortcut Icon]

I wanted to place a copy of 3D Coat from the Windows Program Menu to the Desktop. I clicked on it in the Program Menu and dragged it onto the desktop. That worked OK but now I don't have a copy in the Program Menu anymore. How do I get it back into the Program Menu once its been removed? Thanks...
