:confused: Anyone have any idea what became of Ira Krakow? He had an excellent Blender tutorial series going but has disappeared. His Youtube channel and blog are no longer updated and his forum is gone completely.

someone signed into his youtube account last week.

Hmm, I thought he was still active, see this:


itā€™s dated Feb 3, 2011. But yes, his forum isnā€™t up anymore, checked twice several days apart just to make sure it wasnā€™t a server problem. So I really donā€™t know what has happened.

While we are searching for Ira Krakow, we might also start looking for Apollos from Blenderunderground dot com. The 5 part blender basics tutorial was really great (in my opinion). Also his catch phrase of ā€œthe manā€ used to make me laugh every time. The site is not being updated. I miss him.

+1 to that
his video tutorials were among the best out there

is he alive? no google results

10

Ira is fine! hurray! whois is your friend.

You mean you found him? Where? I was going to post a link to his site when I discovered this thread. I canā€™t find the site anymore

12

Donā€™t worry, Iā€™m still around. Yes, my blog is gone because I was getting too many spam messages. Otherwise, my Blender 3D videos are still up and running on Youtube. Hope you like them!

Sorry about the blog but glad youā€™re still with usā€¦:slight_smile:

Nice you are OKā€¦ :slight_smile: Without you and your tuts guess I would not be even able to unwrap up to the present dayā€¦

i bet you ira has been sold out to the oppressive force of proprietary software empires by one of his closest disciples and been crucified for his preaching of the Code of Ton.

But donā€™t be dissmayed, Heā€™ll probably jump out of the cave and leap into the sky in three daysā€¦(sound familiar?)

Dear Friends,

Iā€™m still here, alive and kicking. In fact, perhaps better than ever. I havenā€™t sold out to anyone.

My Blender 3D Cookbook, which contains the scripts for 62 of my Youtube Blender videos, as well as links to the videos, is now available for the iPad at:

http://itunes.apple.com/us/book/the-blender-3d-cookbook-volume/id443230381?mt=11

It is also available for the Kindle at:
http://www.amazon.com/Blender-3D-Cookbook-ebook/dp/B0056N73B0

You can now get up to speed in Blender (versions 2.49 or 2.5) on your mobile devices.

I hope you enjoy it.

Ira
