Wow!

Currently as it stands right this moment there is over 43 hours of free DVD's and video tutorials of mine on MudboxLIVE.com. all but 11 1/2 hours that I had totally forgotten about that I did for Filter Foundry a year back are direct links to the streaming video. The filter foundry videos (over 11/2 hours of it !) you do need to join up to filter foundry ....but the video s are free of mine.

There is still at least 2 DVD's I have to upload this week that will add even more serious time to the video content. That's assuming I don't come across any more videos I've forgotten about in the meantime..which I may well do. There are videos all over the internet that I've done over the years, many of which I have either lost track of , deleted or simply forgotten about or can't trace right now. So what's on MudboxLIVE is literally the tip of the iceberg of the videos I've put out.

I am humbled by the reaction to this crazy idea of mine. Its gone little bit viral and is very odd for me to see from the 'inside'. Although part of me finds it disturbing that more people have now seen stuff of mine that is years old than have seen my recent work lol. I do hope everyone bears in mind that a lot of the videos uploaded are very old and do not reflect what I can do as a tutor or an artist right now. The links to MudboxLIVE have been growing exponentially this week, and that just the ones I know about.....to be honest I haven't had time to check as I've been too busy.

I normally do not add links to my YouTube video blog to my site as to be honest its sort of my video diary and isn't meant to be taken particularly seriously, but the videos I upped a couple of days ago may explain why I've made all my back catalogue of DVD's available for free and how I personally see the whole thing.I should point out these YouTube videos are normally only intended for friends and are very not safe for work, there is swearing, rather a lot of it in fact. It is also in my 'raw' accent.

So as of right now I'm going to have the 1st day off of the year so far. I'm going to be doing some serious relaxing. Enjoy the videos.......

Hours and Hours of Free Videos

As some of you know my lifes been ...well....'complex' and rather depressing of late. In fact it has sort of went what my brother would rather politely call 'totally fucking tits up'.

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).

Here's the list get ready , coz its a bit long......

To make sure everyone that needs these videos gets then I expect every man and woman to do their duty and ensure word gets arounnd. That is my only price, that one simple favour.

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.
