Topic awaiting preservation: THIS IS ASTOUNDING!....**thumbs up** (Page 1 of 1)

I dont know whether this has been posted before and I dont really care if it has:P....but if you want education in modelling and rendering in programs such as Maya, Softimage XSI, and Max? Free of cost????......well go and check out: www.3dbuzz.com
I LOVE THIS SITE....you HAVE to check it out....go to the free training magazines and sign up and you will receive cd's in the mail that are video training sessions that tell how to use 3d modelling and rendering proggies...there is about 9 hrs of footage on one CD alone!...

I got my first CD back nearly a month ago and on the one CD it teachers the basics of Maya and Max 4. And only last friday I got my second CD & 3rd in the one! In the series that teaches the more about Maya, Max, and the first CD on XSI!......GODDAMNIT!!!!......I LOVE THIS SITE AND THESE PEOPLE!

cool site!
wish i could afford maya!

WOW! CALM DOWN! You've already shown me how great those CD's are...but really, they do do alot of stuffing around before they get to the point on the MAX one at least....and that does get kinda annoying. When do you expect the next MAX one so they can tell me some stuff I don't already know?

I take it then that the CD has alot of adds in it? I can live with that if the material is good just like to know.

no, not really, but they spend quite a while either introducing people, trying to rmember people's names, laughing, making jokes, generally stuffing around, before they actually et to the meat of the tute, and so they waste alot of valuable learning time and bore me to tears

Ohhhh....someone is a critic!.. . Just cos you knew everything they were talking about! Its good that way because it makes things entertaining at the same time!
Nar....there are no adds...just a banner at the top where you can click on it and you can sign up for more CD's I think or if you are a mate watching it and you havent personally...something along those lines:d

I remember this site, one of our members posted an enthusiastic link to it, and it seemed, well, a little like spam! Turned out it was not though, and this guy Jason Busby is a teacher who's trying to do good things, just as we are here. I became a "Junior Member" there, and whenever their name pops up I spend a few minutes answering the questions I can, frequently linking back here or to the GN.

Your pal, -doc-

heh I would be the one guilty of the spamming

It's cool to see your name over there Doc. The Developer audience is pretty small over there right now, compared to the 3d users. My guess is that it'll grow as people interested in PHP find out about it.

Regarding the banter on the cds: Some people have been irritated by this but it doesn't bother me. If something is just presented in a technical fashion without any interaction I usually dose off. That's why I like my Gnomon videos for when I have trouble sleeping. Though there is alot of excellent material in the Gnomon videos, it is just so dry at times. Others like this.

PS Doc, When I was in school our instructor made extensive use of your site when we were studying JavaScript. Are you familar with Robert Ide from Ontario Canada? Anyways, that's how I was introduced to your site.
