The new course has been up for a few days and I haven't seen anyone post about it yet. I took a look at the free sample and it looks pretty interesting but a little over my head because I haven't really jumped into the node end of the truespace pool, yet. :rolleyes: So what do people think? Is it worth the price of admission?


Also, for Caligari, would it be possible for you to post the final animations from the course. I think it would be interesting to see what is taught.

This course is extremely effective in covering procedural animation methods in TS7 using link editor using a number of highly polished working objects. Many examples are given and a brillant walkthrough is given on a complex mech animation shooting at a spaceship with power ball generators and various selectable camera motions. Once getting over hooking up objects and making them move the course is even more amazing because you can then open up each of the carefully built objects to examine and dissect in how they work.


Two thumbs up. . . 10 out of 10 and I am sure over 1000 hours has been put into building this course, not so much making the course but the time needed to explore tS7 very powerful Link Editor. Well worth the money and many times more.

Hi Darrell. Yes, Get It. I am in the same boat as you are, regarding the link editor/node part of ts7. But the video is an excellent way to see how it all fits together. And with a savings of $30 for the next couple days, it is well worth it. Dele did an awesome job on this. I skipped to the last chapter to see the finished product and it is really Cool! :banana:
