  2. do you have the downloads project files and bonus tuts from online?

  5. Yep, problem is that scene files would be a big help. Especially with this Draper’s book. I have them, but they’re from 1st or 2nd edition I think. If there isn’t that much difference between them, I could upload, but only on rapidshare.

    • If you can upload the scene files to rapidshare, I’d appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!
      Thanks

    • First of all thanks to Sonny Dye, and yes Nasher I also appreciate if you can upload the files.

    • i need the video training on 3rd edition that can only b downloaded from their site

  6. I’m sorry to say that the files from the 1st and 2nd edition differ CONSIDERABLY. The 3rd (as read above) contains almost ALL new tutorials, whereas the 2nd edition was more of an addendum to the 1st. As Nasher, i’ve got the 1st edition as well and wanted to offer them, but reconsidered as soon as i read the contents of the 3rd edition!

  8. Hi GD, maybe you can upload the files of the first edition so we can use them with the second edition book, also available in cgpersia.

  9. guys you see the updation of the link www.realmazaa.com
    and tell me u like it or not

    • excuse me, faraz. ..you are off-topic. i think this is not the proper page for
      you to advertise your site which has no relation whatsover with 3D, much so with this book we are talking about. ..so bu$ger off

      • Hear hear …. I second that ! Faraz take your website and stuff it.

  10. Not read the download the file in rapidshare.

  12. Hi!

    Can someone upload the scene files? I think it would work finely with the second edition’s files.
    And unfortunately the screenshoots are unreadable. The images resolution are too bad to read the maxscripts. :(

    If you can share the files and the scripts then please help us!

    Thank you.

    p.s.: sorry for my cheap english

  13. Thank you Sonny, I love Pete Draper’s previous edition. If you could upload the DVD then that would be fantastic.

    Also, check out Pete Draper’s website for more tutorials:

    • Hi dude, if u have time please could you post a link for the scenes files

      Many thanks

      peace

  27. It’s really nice to know that nine months of my hard-arsed work for virtually next to nothing, scrimping and saving to get this book finished on time, having to give up full time work and live on the shitty advance from the publisher to discover that you guys are just sharing the book like its a tube of Pringles.

    Thanks. It makes it all really worthwhile for the $1.50 I get per book sold.

    Come on guys, seriously? Don’t I give enough free stuff away as it is on my site (which someone kindly posted)? Aren’t I allowed to try to make a living from this shit?! … it’s not like I’m going to retire on this thing by any means.

    I could have just ditched the 1st & 2nd edition stuff when the 3rd edition went on sale, but no I decided, like the generous guy I am, to give it away FOR FREE with the 3rd edition as electronic downloads. If the publisher had their way you would’t get it.

    I give up. I’m not doing any more books. I can’t be arsed anymore. What’s the point?

    Pete

    • Hi Pete Draper,

      I really want to buy your book, But i need it before this friday because i need some of your tutorials in the third edition for a VFX contract.

      So I was wondering if it was possible to buy directly from you rather than buy from a distributor such as amazon.com.
      That way instead of $ 1.50 per book sold, you would have directly all the cash for you.

      You will earn as much as me because if you send it to me by private link to download I will have time to finish it and you’d have more money for a single sale.
      I mean of course not just the book in pdf but especially the DVD.

      thank you for taking this offer seriously.

      Best regards

  28. THE POINT IS WE SEND BLESSES TO YOU. PLEAZZ post scene + video files . PLZZZZZ

  29. Always looking for new ideas to encourage my knowledge learning. I think I have a long way way to go after reading your article.

  31. You are not a doer as much as we are not takers, you are not a creator and not an owner, all that comes is from nothingness and for you to ask money for nothingness is redundant as you are not an inquirer, do not hinder human progress by acting and then sticking around to ask for credit, we are all formless and shapeless, we are not givers and we are not takers, we are an unfolding enormous stream rolling down a petal, or a drop of water on the planets face. There is no thank yous and no education, it just is, and your happiness or what you defined as something happy is not a pursuit, it is, its not abroad or a thing, it just is. When you know that nothing is all there is, you are ethereal, eternal and immortal, as you were always, this is not a way, or a teaching, it is consciousness trough a simple and unconditioned message that merely points and cannot state what YOU are, it only points, but you are not a mind just as you are not a concept, you are what is true, not a seeker, not a seer, not a thinker, not a want or a need, you are unadulterated un-indoctrinated unchanging, unmoving, unbecoming, unending, uncommunicative truth, you are but happiness and you are what you are not, NOT an idea, not a will, not an action, not a word or an one, you are ONE, never apart; apart from the mind, and apart from the body, not a part of anything, or any substance nor spirit nor soul, not bound by breath or form, but awareness aware of simply dreaming this dream labeled as reality, and the only thing to do is let go, for nothing not even life itself is yours to own, as you are NOT an owner, and the sensations and feeling, the thoughts and all other concepts come from nothingness, but you are not nothingness, but why you are is only because there is nothingness, but you are evident as not nothingness, you are not an individual, an I, or some miner mining the great mine, your mine not mine for I am no owner or doer i am but awareness not words or ideas, i am you and we all are love. Let go, surrender.

  32. Thank very much to, mr. Sonny Dye and we are waiting for the scenes files. and i try this softawre in my 3dsmax file ,
