Can someone give me the list of the tutorials listed with the Sintel Box Set?

General Forums Blender and CG Discussions

I’m considering purchasing the Sintel Box Set from the Blender Foundation as a show of support for Blender.

I don’t have a lot of money at the moment so I’m on the fence if I will buy it or not.

I see on the website that it mentions that there are a number of tutorials included with the Box Set, but it doesn’t give a table of contents so I’m wondering if someone would be so kind as to give me the complete list of what the tutorials are.

If the tutorials are something I’m interested in at the moment it will buy the movie, but if not then I’ll probably skip this one.

Also, if you’ve seen the tutorials could you give your impression regarding the quality level and the difficulty level of them?

Thanks a bunch.

    Facial Animation on Sintel

I have currently watched the topology overview from angela and the shading and texturing from ben, both were very interesting to watch and learned from both of them quite a bit already definitely gonna study those more. Haven’t really watched the others due to time constraints with uni and stuff.
Quality wise, both videofeeds were good (imho, I’m used to youtube and vimeo tuts and no expert at all).
Angela has a good voice for videotutorials. Ben’s vid didn’t have the best sound quality (which he apologies for in the vid) but it’s still followable.

I think if you only buy it for the tuts you’re probably better of buying a blender workshop dvd that suits your needs. But I’m happy I bought it :slight_smile:

Thanks for the quick reply!

From the list it seems like there is a lot of content on animation which is something I’m quite
interested in so …thanks for giving me an excuse to buy it :stuck_out_tongue:
