Hey all,
I know the site is in a state of craziness right now, but the day job is eating me alive. Still trying to find some free time to get that Arch & Design materials tutorial hammered out. Another thing that needs to happen is a core rewrite of the site.
The things that hold this website together are falling apart at the seams and it might be time to run a new template and installation to clean it up. More to follow on that. Maybe this weekend after I catch up on sleep debt?
These last few days have been one of deep introspection. I’ve discovered that there are two things that I need from each and every one of you devoted and exceedingly cool readers.
First, please answer the following question. There’re too many things on the board by my desk to do all of them, so whatever wins the popular vote below is what I’ll do next!
Riddle me this: If I made 3dsMax videos that you had to pay (a small amount of money) for, would you prefer that they be digital rentals or DVDs that you buy and have mailed to you? Rentals can be less expensive, but expire after a few days.
Another thing I’m considering is making the videos very granular. They would be short, 15-30 minute modules that teach you a specific topic. Not as specific as my Monday Movies were, but still not the usual “all about mental ray” DVDs you’re used to. Some example titles might be “Understanding mental ray Performance”, “Modeling Low-Poly Buildings”, or “Introductory Reactor”.
Leave comments and let me know what you’d prefer!
Just wanted to post a quick cross-link for excellent Steampunk Costumes. Looks like the Gentleman’s Emporium finished their site and they have some great selections at quite reasonable prices. Consider checking them out!
Edit: P.S. I noticed that the site’s traffic is a little strange after I hiked up the priority of the site’s translated versions. Let me know if there’s any feedback from Brazil, India, or Germany!
Hey all,
I’m on vacation until the 27th or so at the Comic-Con in San Diego. I’ll be the guy wearing ordinary clothes, looking totally normal. You can’t miss me.
If you’re going and want to grab lunch or whatever you can e-mail me at MrBluesummers@MrBluesummers.com!
I’ll upload photos when I get back.
