I am sooo close to having the 3ds max 5 online course ready to go live (free of course!)... I'll be able to take a small breather the moment this is done!
In regards to software - I hear ya! I've invested a pretty penny over my days... even spent $7,500 on Maya Complete before the price change just to do VTMs for people... so happy to see prices dropping:)
Well... I guess I better get my butt back to work;)
Ahhh - yea, I hate that winRAR is not free - that would be the best:) I'm just trying to save every penny I can.
As far as bandwidth, it's really not been that much more than usual. Even with being on slashdot, bluesnews, shacknews, and planetunreal today... traffic has only been slightly elevated. Now, TechTV put a hurting on us;) But we did survive.
By the time next winter comes around, I should have about 300 hours of training available... and as always, it will be free:) I hope it can provide some assistance to what you do... I will be putting out vids on Doom III and Half-Life 2 as well.
Thanks!!

Slashdotted? hhhmmmm... not on this end. The site has been running fine all day. Actually, traffic has not been much higher then normal. The only slashdotting we've experienced over the last week was the spot on national television and even then we only lost one server for just a couple of hours.
Regarding winrar - I have no idea what you are talking about. Perhaps you should do some tests on your end. The training videos I create are not full motion video - this allows winrar to go in and make things a bit tighter. Here is a typical example: I can take a 50MB file and compress it down to 35MB. Now, have this file downloaded 10,000 times in a month - do the math... In case you need some help, that's 150GB and that is only ONE file. Currently I have close to 200 available for download. Bandwidth is not cheap, but I am sure you know that. I've got to save money any way I can.
Thanks, everyone, for the great comments! And a BIG thanks to Slashdot for posting this and helping to spread the word!
We also have tons of other videos over such programs as Maya, 3ds max, MOTIONBUILDER, Houdini, Photoshop, and many more!
Remember, the one belief that we rigorously stand behind is that all of this professional-quality education is FREE!
