And at tthe end, it happened! In the same day as my EUE talk about destruction with TP4, it got released and my DVD with it – how’s that about timing! The announcement from Cebas is here:

And the Eat3D one is here:
Now, I think I have some explaining to do. First, the more obvious – the unpleasant itchy delay in releasing it was obviously caused by the wait for the TP4 release. And since it’s a TP4 DVD, it wasn’t really possible to release it before TP4 itself, was it 🙂
Then about this ‘1st of 2’ business. When I started making the DVD, I came up with a plan that I think goes through TP in its entirety in the best way, teaching-wise. With that plan shaping up and progressing, it became obvious that just one DVD will not be sufficient to cover it all. And rather then shortening and compromising it, it was decided to split it up. If you look at the contents list of the released DVD, you’ll see that there are two chapters – and these are the ‘Introduction’ and ‘Beginner’ chapters. The ‘Intermediate’ and ‘Advanced’ chapters will be on the next DVD. And yes, the names should be revealing enough that these are gonna be the more interesting and advanced ones. And the good part is that now that TP4 is out, there’s gonna be no more conspirative delays! It should be out by the end of July. I will publish the plan itself these days, to drool you up a little 🙂
That much for now. And whoever has any questions about TP4, the DVD or anything remotely in my competence – don’t be shy 🙂
Thank you very much for the new DVD. It was a good help in some cases. I would be realy happy if the next DVD would be more advanced.
kind regards

Hi Gabriel,
Yes, the next one is more advanced. The plan I follow is gonna take through everything in TP, and production with it. Eventually with DVD 2 (and 3?) you will be real happy 🙂
Very nice DVD indeed, looking forward the next one

Hi,
your DVD is great, thank you 🙂
I have a question.
Is the dynamic solver in TP multithreaded?
And I am looking forward for the next DVD 🙂
Will you in the next DVD really explain all nodes of TP?
That would be great if you could do that.
Because TP is absolutely great Tool!!!
Thanks
Thanks 🙂 Yeah, eventually the entire TP will be covered. And yes, in TP4 the shape collision (and some other processes) are multithreaded 😉
