Vehicle Series: Production Complete / End of Pre-orders

by Jonathan Williamson

The final days of taking advantage of the preorder price on our Vehicle Modeling Series is coming to a close. As of April 1st we will no longer be accepting preorders. Until then you can still grab a pre-order.

This is good news as it means we are done with production!

We just have a few things to tidy up over the next week or so before we are able to do a full public release on April 7th, 2011

Already Pre-ordered?

Thank you for the early support of this training series!. Once we are able to get the files uploaded to our servers you will receive an e-mail with instructions to obtain your digital download. This could happen before April 7th and all depending how fast we are able to get them prepped and uploaded. ;)

If you ordered the DVD-R (Data Disc) version in addition to the Digital Download, these will ship shorter there-after April 7th.

What is the final Price, Hours, and Goodies?

This series ended up  surpassing our initial time estimates and the amount of modeling we had planned to cover. As we progressed through each section the total series length grew to just over 15 hours of video training! This will take you through the in-depth process of modeling this vehicle with no time-lapsing.

Included in this series you will receive the following:

  • 15+ hours of video training at 1280 x 720
  • Blend files relative to each chapter covered
  • Original concept sketches by David Revoy, along with the final model sheets.

Still haven’t pre-ordered?

Well head over to the vehicle page before April 1st, to make sure you save 50% off the regular price of 48.00. No this isn’t an April Fools joke, yes actually 50% off a pre-order. :)

Pre-Order Vehicle Modeling Series.

Thank you for the continued support of us and this series. Anxious for you to get your hands on it!

    Apparently us brits are always complaining about the weather.
    This is really bad timing, the weather is supposed to be really sunny for the easter holidays, now I’m going to be stuck indoors the whole time. ;-)

      Yes, just click the preorder button at the end of the article. Fill in the order form and you will then proceed to PayPal.

      Waiting eagerly for this one and i’ll probably take the citizen membership next month when my monthly web shopping budget is transfered to my PayPal account if this tutorial is as good as the “Kara” tutorial :-)

    Just got the entire bundle, and going to start with the vehicle modelling series. However I’ve got a quick question about modelling… Something I’ve had trouble with on more than one occasion, and even in the first section of this tutorial despite following along, is that i end up with a lot of quad faces that aren’t flat (as in, they might as well be two tri’s, because they ‘crease’ in the middle). It doesn’t *look* like that’s happening to Jonathan at all in these videos, and so I’m not sure where I’m going wrong. Any advice please?

    Thanks!

      Apparently I’m mistaken and it does happen in the early stages. Sorry!

      Hi Paul,

      There’s any number of ways this can happen, but one of the ways you can help fix it is select the faces and press W > Smooth a few times. That will attempt to smooth out the faces, making them more regular.

      If you want to post a screenshot of your mesh then I may be able to give some more specific directions.

      Cheers,
      Jonathan
