Thanks. As far as I know everything should be instantaneous. People who bought it already told me anywhere between right away and 5 minutes (probably depending on whether they had a CGS account or not). Even if you had been banned from the forums or something like that, the account for purchases i

I purchased it last night, and have watched the first weeks worth of videos already. Really well paced, and clearly explained. I also agree with the order in which Raf is teaching things. I think that this is probably the best resource for someone who wants to become a Softimage TD. I'm goin

I have to second that Eric said, Being self taught means one can acquire some bad habbits or a poor understanding of basic principals. It never hurts to go back to the basics and it can often shed a much better understanding of what you thought you knew or understood. On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 12:

Great news Raff ! I was hoping to get my hands on this course for a long time. Question: does anybody bought it already ? I've purchased some hours ago but I just can't log in. Don't know if its a site issue or my account being blocked by some reason. (already checked login credentials and stuff..

+1 to what Eric said. Some of the stuff that Raff covered was good to know beforehand like how the python dispatch mechanism work in Softimage. His fast python prototyping techniques were also good examples for me. Also the in-depth description of traversing the scene graph in python is a must-

Enrique, I have been mostly self taught for python and the workshop was great to get me in to a cleaner code syntax and learn some bits and pieces that have made tool development faster for me. Even though some of the topics in the beginning may seem simple it's worth going through them to pick up

Awesome raff, I wish that it covered more advanced subjects. But the last 3 weeks or so seem interesting. Seeing as I'm mostly self-taught though, I wouldn't mind seeing how someone else goes about doing things, and seeing how it compares to what I discovered myself. So I'll be signing up!... N
