Nice resource, Alex! 
Any chance you’ll be posting up some advanced XSI tuts
on the site as well…character rigging, facial rigging, game
engine rigging, displacement settings for Z3, etc.?
(noticed XSI was conspicuously absent as a software tab)
cheers.

can we download the purchased tutorials, or is it just DVD’s by mail?
Lasse Eriksen Bjørseth - That is a possibility. Thanks.
GabeM - It’s both: download and also burned to a dvd and shipped.
I really like how the site is set up. Easy for me to upload my lectures. I’m going to do a bunch of tutorials on my matchmoving techniques, compositing, rendering, and assorted Zbrush tricks for Gnomonology. I just wish that I had more time to watch a few of the videos on there…
I’m sure XSI and all the majors will be on there soon.
alex,
It would be great if you got Scott, Nevile, Ryan or any of yoru analog people to do some tutorials. That would go over big with the concept design community.
Nice job on the site!
Great idea 
I’ll be back tommorrow credit cards in hand. The prices are very reasonable compared to the time it would take me to figure things out on my own.
alex i love ur all tutriol thx for this 
As someone who’s been anxiously awaiting the new Intro DVDs since 2.5 was announced, the arrival of new content is a god-send.
I’m confused on one point, though…
Can you talk for a minute about the two Topology videos? Are they an expansion of what’s on the DVDs, or a single-topic breakout for those who can’t afford the whole thing all at once?
Either way is a great service, but for different people. 
The topology screenshot on the back of the DVD box does look like the same model in your Advanced Workflow video. But, that doesn’t mean anything. You may not have been able to squeeze an hour of topology into the final DVD edit, so this could easily be a director’s cut. Or a whole other lecture. Or it might be the same exact video.
I’m obviously putting too much thought into the question. Could someone put me out of my misery?
Omg, thanks for the tutorials, thats awsome!
I think that part of the problem with a resource like this being mentioned here, and specifically having it featured in the Top Row at ZBC, is that everything released on ZBC is free. Many people do give a lot of their time to help the community with no financial reward.
Don’t misunderstand me, I’m not suggesting you guys shouldn’t get paid or that what’s on offer isn’t good value. For those who live outside the US, it’s a great way of getting tutorials without the added expense of shipping. I’m sure the site will be deservedly popular. It’s simply that a post like this here sets up expectations.
These look awesome too say the least, I am also excited at the prospect of being able to download these great looking tutorials.
However Alex, you didn’t reply to those who like myself do not have the credit card your site accepts, I also would appreciate the use of Paypal even if you were to add the extra charge to the tutorial to pay for the Paypal charges.
In the meantime I will just have to hope your charging facilities change to include Paypal or Switch.
Thanks for this anyways a great move on your behalf to boost the art Zee
I can understand people’s surprise that there’s a price, provided they’ve never heard of Gnomon. Those who have are probably more surprised that the price is as low as it is.
None of that matters.
The cost to produce, the hardships involved… those don’t matter either. They’re critical factors in your decision to continue this venture, but they don’t affect the end user’s decision to participate.
Only two questions do:
But if you answered yes to both, and you deny yourself the training you need out of spite? Seriously, wow. You’ve got some issues to work through. That’s just self-destructive.
Hey guys
Are these tuts geared toward users of all levels, or are they assuming you already know how to do alot of things? I don’t want to dump money on you unless I know I can use the tutes without having to go, you know, buy ~other tutorials just to use them.
Im interested but the site does not accept my zipcode. Being from Belgium, which has diffent zips that the US (like B-1234), I guess that this is a small glitch. No harm done as no one can know all kind of codes by heart.
I sent an e-mail, and hope that this will be corrected asap.
RaelNorth: I guess that it’s a good idea to have a certain basic knowledge. You can find lots of free tutorials, also movies, in the tutorials forum. May I suggest you start with the ones from 3dtrainer? They are about the best I ever watched. On any software!
Meats, I´ve already pre-ordered your upcoming DVD in a German store. Will the retopology tutorials on the DVD be the same as the downloadable ones? I´m very interested in them but I don´t want to pay for them twice…
Great idea, by the way. I´m sure your new platform will be a great success!
Thanks,
Marco
As if yall didn’t support us enough hahaha!!! Thanks so much to all of you!!! Gnomon has bee a very big inspiration for me over the last few years!!! I can’t wait for the new Z3 dvd’s to come out!!! And also I want to thank everyone that made the gnomon contest forum!! That idea was genius!!! Thanks again!!! Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the ups on paypal Ctrl-z but your comment on whether I am blind?
Really, what a terrible thing to say, sarcasm at it’s most base level.
Yes I missed the comment from Alex, but I hardly deserve your acid remark for that little error.
I guess some people just wander thru these forums looking for such things and get most enjoyment from insulting those who show signs of being human in making small errors.
Hey Ctrl-Z -
Yeah, the Topology chapters are from my dvd (chapter 11 of 13 - 1 hour).
The whole dvd is 6 hours. I thought it said something about that on there. I’m looking for the way to add a blog entry to put that up as I’m getting a hold of the sysAdmin. If everything goes well, I’m going to put all the chapters up so people can get the exact information they need instantly.
I just had to focus on making sure the DVD got out in time first. It will be available on the 20th (and then I can move on with my life )
I’m not really down with the advertising in the art gallery.
Great to see this.
I’m looking forward to checking it out.
