And finally you can follow us on Facebook for all of our recent updates!

Thanks to the whole Blender community for your support so far![/b]

Very cool! Everyone could use another training site, especially one from guys with your talents! Good luck.

Awesome. Good job LonhS and blengine!

I wish you would offer a digital download system :(.

wow! :slight_smile:
It’s good to see durianders produce educational materials.
Will definately be ordering this.

always nice to see more tutorials

Simply wow… This is THE most professional Blender tutorials I have ever witnessed (not that I have watched the actual DVD tutorials but the end result looks very professional :P)

The free tutorials are also very nice. I am looking forward to future releases :slight_smile:

Do you guys ship to all of Europe?

Thanks everyone for the support! We’re having a blast creating training material for you all.

3dementia: I’m glad it’s welcome =)

Logidude: Thanks!

accessoire: Thanks for letting us know your request! It is not available now, but we are not ruling it out for the future. Also if extra cost is your concern, I should point out that we do supply free shipping for all our DVDs!

blendercomp: Great to hear your interest!

KingGreasy: Glad they are welcome =)

NinthJake: Thank you for the compliments! We are really happy with the outcome and the way we have recorded and explain the steps to reach them in the DVDs. About your shipping question, the answer is yes! If you have access to the internet, we will be able to ship to you =)

Thank again all, we’ll keep you up to date.

Some of the best quality tutorials I have ever seen from Blender. You should be proud. Good job. :slight_smile:

No, extra cost isn’t my concern. Shipping in general isn’t my concern, because from sites like amazon I usually get my orders within 1 or 2 days, but finally having a fast internet connection, I really appreciate digital download because it is so much faster than shipping (in this case definitely). My opinion is probably pretty rare because I know a lot of people still want to have something physical they can touch and put on their bookshelf.

(Also you can always cut a few bucks from the shipping cost this way :D.)

I don’t like having stuff lying around so I also vote for DL…

Ah yes, I would also like to be able to download them.

It’s much faster than shipping and I don’t really trust the post office here anymore. Too many times I have received broken stuff and last time I ordered something internationally it got shipped to some dude in Norway :confused:

Hi guys.

Good to hear there’s quite a need for a downloadable version, thanks for letting me know. I’ll work on getting this option setup for you guys!

Lee

Great site and great news LohnS.

Downloadable versions would be very good. :yes:

Hi guys,

Thanks for the feedback. We now have downloadable version Pre-Orders for both products.

Ninja Character Creation: http://www.cgmasters.net/blender-3d-ninja-character-modeling.html

Environment Modeling and Texturing: http://cgmasters.net/blender-3d-game-creation-tutorial-volume-1.html

Just like the shipped DVD version, this is a Pre-Order so if you purchase the downloadable version you’ll have the encrypted download link Emailed to you the day we are finished. Another added bonus is you get the DVD instantly while the physical DVDs take some days to ship.

Thanks again, and be sure to keep checking the free tutorials too! We are always adding new videos.

Lee

Thank you for the download option Lee, you guys are great.

Looking forward to the release =D

Yea I can’t wait for it to be released :). Thanks for responding so fast to our feedback!
Oh I was just wondering how the download is going to work? Are we going to be able to re-download it again? Like with steam you get your account and then you can download as often as you want. I know a Steam system may be a bit complicated just wanna know if we can download it more than just one time ;).

Keep 'em coming!

NinthJake: Glad the download option is a welcome addition =) Thanks!

accessoire: Thank you! No problem at all, the Blender community is great for getting instant feedback on stuff. About the download, we have a system setup so that when we finish the DVD master, we’ll upload it and you receive an encrypted link, it will only work for your IP and you can have a few goes at downloading it before it expires. Of course if there’s any problems at the time you can just email us and we’re here to help with anything =)

jskurias: thanks! will do!!

More soon, now back to finishing up the DVDs!

Lee

is there an estimate of when the environment lighting series is going to be complete and ready for download?
i’m impressed by the quality of teaching
