Anyway.....as I desperately need drive space for my short, am flat broke and cannot afford a new one and every god damned DVD writer in this house (all 8!) have went the way of the dodo, I thought I'd do the sculpting world a bit of a uncharacteristic favor. This is probably my last gift to digital sculptors as a hole and mudbox users as a specific group. I doubt I'll be able to do something like this again for a variety of reasons.
Tonight I am releasing hours upon hours of free videos in probably the bigggest free video release (length wise) ever (as time is short right now I haven't even counted how many or how long in total)...simply because I need Hard Drive space. There is a bit of everything, stuff from way back in 2008 that never saw the light of day publicly for free to stuff from the end of last year.
Please remember many of these videos do not reflect my current skills and put out simply as its either a case of delete them or put them out for free.
Plus as I have now officialy killed of the mudboxhub on demand stream service (zero chance it will restart in the foreseeable future) anything not packed up into dvd's goes into this free video release. Athough MudboxHub's forum is still open.
This is not just stuff for mudbox, this applies to all digital sculptors, yes even zbrush users can get usage out of these videos. So if you like them, remember the best stuff is on the dvd's you pay for. So don't pirate those DVD's or it's a it like giving me a very big fat slap in the face.
Enjoy and pass the word around as I dont have the time to do it myself this time around as life is 'complex' right now. I will includde them in a simple list form (there are hour upon hours of stuff in the list that I'll let you all discover for yourself).
Also remember the many existing free videos are still knocking about various places as well for those new to sculpting that may not have seen them.
Reducto videos meant for release but never seen when copy protection was simply to expensive for me to release it.

Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow... to bad you don't have people in your corner that could help you market these videos to make yourself some cash... Regardless, I hope your generosity comes back to you 2-fold.
ReplyDeleteThank you and best of luck to you.
Great Stuff....Excellent Work...:)

Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIf you need extra cash why not release them through cmiVFX? CmiVFX is a very professional oriented tutorial site with lots of high end content. You deserve to be rewarded for your efforts.
ReplyDeleteAt the very least you should attach a creative commons license.
If you look on my main site www.dashdotslash.net you'll notice I've published a lot of dvd's over the years (13 so far). The main reason I haven't published thorugh another company is that I dont like doing 99% of the work and getting 10% of the profits. Plus Mudbox is not like most other software and No one makes huge profits on any dvd thats ever been put out on mudbox.
ReplyDeleteThe fact many get pirated the same damn day doesn't help. The oddest thing is its totally unlike the zbrush community (that buy anything that even contains the slightest connection with brush lol), mudbox users as a general rule dont. Why that is...I have no idea. Maybe its because of the hundreds of hours of free videeos I've put out for it over the years and people now expect something for nothing. Or maybe they think they now everything or simply dont feel they need tutorials. It doesn't explain why the free videos do so well though lol.
Trust me when I say DVD's are certainly not a solution to the things going on in my life at the moment.
I have already thanked you for these almost everywhere now.you will get really bored if I thank you here one more time.So just thought to post this message instead of the word "thanks" :P
ReplyDeleteHey Wayne,
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have done much for the Mudbox commune and as you can see many of us thank you greatly. Just to let you know the tuts here come to around 1.35 GB and there are 27 of em but I am sure the time you spent on these is way way more.
There are sites out there where you can get sponsors for project and great ideas, They regularirly sponsor short films.
Cheers and hope life is kinder to you.
