howdy,
so i’m a big believer in books. pretty much everything i’ve ever learned that was of any use came from a book.
and… you can take them to bed with you… unlike a dvd.
so i’ve been waiting very patiently for matt yetter’s zb3 book to unleash… pushed back twice already <shakes fist>.
and now, it looks like there’s another book to wait for too! scott spencer’s!
and nobody it seems can comment on the status of the release of zb books… so i continue to wait…

Totally agreed with your opinion, also impatient.
(can’t take a dvd to the bathroom, either)
Be careful of Pilou:D

Does somebody have any infos about computer book sellings?
is it an interesting market or is it low compared to dvd sellings?
well i’m sure i certainly don’t know.
all i know is that personally, i prefer them. i like the non-linearity of a book. read it, then refer as you please.
my first real 3d app was lightwave 5.0 and i didn’t have a computer at the time so i just took the books home, read them cover to cover and when it was time to gear up for the project… i was pretty much ready!
so yah, i can’t be sure what sales figures are like compared to dvds.
all i can say is that if YOU made a book, i would certainly put it on my amazon pre-order list.
which… is… really… full… of delayed… zbrush books…
sigh.

p.s. i know i’m different from most of the artist community in this way but i have never and will not buy an instructional dvd. for me it’s not a good value at all. i want lots of info and don’t need that much depth of techniqe. dvd’s are the exact inverse. i can figure out the depth of technique. i just want to be filled in on the big salient points that i could be missing and you can squeeze a lot more of that into a book than a video.
video is real time… uncompressed… i want to learn on fast forward.
but then again, a book is probably much more work.
aurick said his book in NOT going to come out.

Where?
also what about the movie version, Brad Pitt had been
signed for the lead
I’m interested in knowing where this was discussed.
OH SONOFAB!@#$%!!!
DANG! what the heck happened?!
nuts nuts nuts… i was really looking forward that book too.
haha, it’s like zb refuses to see print material on it… d’oh darn.
jin
p.s. but thanks for the info… i would have been eagerly awaiting it for a long time.
should have been announced (cancelation i mean).
Shoot! And double shoot!
OK, but when you give links to threads, try to make the link to relavant page please.
So what book(s) is/are coming out?
When? By who/whom?
Please.
well as of now, only scott spencer’s book then.
was two… now only one. so lonely…

This is truly bad news, I was looking forward to this
as we all were.
I suspect the fine hand of management in this.:td:
