Complex UV Layout in Maya
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character

movie quality
However I wanted to know if their quality is about the same as the free ones. I found it a bit hard to see some details (eg: letters) and the sound wasn't very good either (too much bass often).
Is this also with the VIP movies?
thx

I bought the cd for studio max there, it contains more than 3 hours of video with audio and fits on 1 CD. It has great quality, so maybe you guys can do that too.
I'm sure it would be appreciated by more people than just me.
Now plz don't get a wrong impression of me here, I really do like your movies. I just wanted to let you know that there are better ways wich don't take up too much space at all.

<100 MB doesn't take that long to download. I got an avg speed of 85 kb/sec while downloading the free movies.
Kevin, could you please spare the sarcastic insults for future clients.
thx

Both video and sound are of good quality in which I can learn from the lesson without straining my eyes or ears.
No complaints here.

Do you all use freakin' modems here?

Yes at this time there is still a very large population on 56 modems.
And please accept my apologise if you feel I was being sarcastic, it wasnt meant to come through like that and looking at my above posts I still cant see what I said that has offended you...
but sorry never the less.
Ok...
dbirider had some very good points:
1. The files would be to big for the vip area, and on the cds we will have some really good quality divx. This will be ok as we have more mgs to play with
2. If they where that big in the VIP area then we would have to charge more as our bandwidth would sky rocket.
3. We are now happy with the quality that we are currently getting. Myself and mike worked on different settings for a month and are happy with the size to quality ratio, but I appreciate your input.
many thanks

And before everyone bombards me with "Get DSL!" posts, neither DSL or cable is available in my area. If it were, you can bet I'd have it.
I also cannot afford to move at this time.

When I used such a modem, my limit would be files of about 5 MB.
Do you mind explaining a bit more about those CD's? Perhaps I'll just buy those instead of points to the vids if they have much better quality.
oh btw: the sentence I found a bit offensive was this:
"thx for the link. We are happy with the quality we are currently producing
I have just downloaded the demo which is 1.11 mg for 24 secs!"
Sounded to me like you were just saying: "We don't give a shit about what you like, we'll keep doing it our way. So plz, stfu"
ofcourse I may be wrong.
no hard feelings I hope, keep up the good work!

I think it just wouldnt be cost effective for us or the vip users for only a little quality gain compared to size etc..
Yep sure on the cds...they will be capured as raw AVI files then converted to high res DIVX format. So they will be a high quality

A very large percentage of people that use the web use 56k speeds or slower we try and cater for everyone its somewhat of a compromise, the video for interactivetrainingcd.com is encoded to fit on CD it would roughly triple the size of the movies we offer for download its not practical for us to do this, more than 50% of the people that use our site are on dial up connections and a large percent of cable users are capped, if you want better quality ether wait till we release on CD / DVD or go somewhere that caters solely for broadband customers.Originally posted by d24e

what I'd like to know is: what movies will be on them? the VIP movies or others? Are they also for beginners like myself? When will they be available for purchase?
