Can't wait to get the Kurv 3d Coat Hard Surface Modeling video by Leigh Bamforth!

[iangregory]

Or, the ptex video, or the Lightwave Surface Baking Techniques videos. But, I guess I'll have to wait. And wait... wonder how long? How old will I be when they're released? Will 3d Coat be 4d Coat by then, or 5d Coat?

Sorry for the rant. (that's a rant???)

Meanwhile, back to sculpting!

Maybe I'll sculpt a really old guy, still waiting for his Kurv videos.

Happy Friday everyone.

I thought I was the only one who thought Wes (at Kurv studios) consistently drags his feet getting web training to DVD. 3 months have transpired since Leigh first broadcast this series.

His answer is to pay him ahead of time for webinar re-broadcasts he knows many can't attend...and when he's good and ready, he'll provide a secret download, that you can't purchase after the broadcast. I don't know of too many people that are interested in floating their cash out there, waiting weeks or months on end for someone who has shown a persistent habit of not delivering or doing so very, very late.

Then he'll try to milk the re-broadcasts til they're dried up and then maybe release a DVD when he gets a wild hair and decides to get around to it (months and months later).

Leigh's stuff is top-notch. Too bad the distributor he chose, isn't. There isn't a worse training resource, IMHO, than Kurv. The content is fine...it's just the delivery. There are multiple "free" training broadcasts (covering 3DC) by both Leigh and Javis that are not available on the Kurv site...even though he said he would make them available.

My name is Don, and I approved this message.

Javis doesn't sell through Kurv anymore, his video is available from his own site:

I think one of them, not sure who it is, hurt his foot somehow and is convelescencing. Guess though some E-commerce is being done at home to office?

Yes! I see the 3d Coat Hard Surface Modeling video on their site now. Hope the lightwave and ptex videos come soon now too.

It looks like the page for that title is semi-ready, but there is no means to add it to your cart.

[iangregory]

Looks good to go now. There's a working cart button.

Where? I looked all over the page and there still is nothing to click on to make the purchase

I don't think I'd ever use 3d coat (or Zbrush for that matter) for a project like this, but it's a very interesting video, and the techniques are usefull. Good work Leigh.

Thanks...I couldn't find it when I went through the normal method of "Training> Pilgway 3D Coat> Official Guide"

I noticed that the Banshee Sculpting title was available too, although somewhat hidden for the time being.

Wes needs to contract someone to do his Website maintenance, that or replace whoever has been doing it (fire himself? ). Leaving money laying on the table is not a good way to run a business....and that is precisely what he's been doing over the past few months.

Got through over half of Leigh's Hard Surface/Scorpion material...learned some pretty cool things. Seems like it can come in handy for a lot of modeling tasks.

Unless either 3dc or zbrush integrates its own polymodelling tool. Then I wouldn't have to do import/export from other appz into 3dc for asset creation.

Zbrush now supports animation, I hope 3dc goes the other way and concentrates on asset creation so both can compliment each other.

Sounds like good idea!

Actually, until the tools that are in the application are brought up to ZB and MB standards, there's bigger fish to fry than worrying about animation or polymodeling. There's plenty of work left to do in Voxels alone....let's please not try and distract Andrew with more fringe requests. This is a primarily a sculpting/3D Painting application...and it's meant to facilitate the major programs...not become one.
