Advanced Member 3dCoatWannabe Posted October 6, 2010 Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Here's the post where I found them. http://www.newtek.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112954 I asked a few questions (such as do they have any sample chapters), but never got a reply.

Psmith Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Nope. And, it looks like you gotta pay $20 first just to find out. No demos to view, even if only for seeing if you like the guy's teaching style. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Greg Posted October 6, 2010 Contributor Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 I agree, I would want to see a small sample video before purchase - one that's typical of the rest of the content. Six hours seems pretty long for the subject, but just my opinion. Maybe lots of really good stuff in there getting covered, but can't know without a sample. I'm with you - I like to-the-point teaching styles (Like Leigh Bamforth's videos), but once again, that's just what I prefer. Also agree that notes that go along with a course are/would be a definite plus, but I don't remember getting those with any of the many, many videos I've purchased. Anyhow, let us know what you find out! The 'other' Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member 3dCoatWannabe Posted October 6, 2010 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Yeah, a 6 hour 'auto-retopology' video seems like kind of an oxymoron, but there could be all sorts of other stuff in the video, so I'll withhold judgment until I can see something. But, very glad anyone is focusing on LW integration, so I hope I'm worrying over nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member 3dCoatWannabe Posted October 6, 2010 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Got some feedback on this. The author of the video is associated with Liberty3d.com, which was started by a guy who's done a whole lot of Lightwave/Fusion videos (and effects for BattleStar Gallactica among other things). So, this is looking much better that I originally thought, as I presume this must be decent quality for them to offer it for sale on their site. Sounds like they are working on getting some sample videos up. My only concern is whether it's focused enough. 6 hours is a long, long time.

Just click the button and see what happens ;] 3dcoat is probably one of the last apps I'd ever consider purchasing training material for (not that you'd need it when the tools are so easy to learn on their own). Development moves so fast that anything you buy will more than likely already be out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
