Barry's tutorials are some of the most valuable available for A:M.

If you did not already buy them before, you should under all circumstances have a look at them now .

 

Thank you very much Adam for asking and making this possible and thank you very much Barry for making them available

Yes indeed. Barry's tutorials are best in class.

And now everyone can enjoy them.

Wonderful! Thanks Mr. Zundel. Fascinating to watch.

Oh yeah Barry does some good stuff in his tutorials. He is a genius in just about any program he touches.

This is terrific news for anyone who wants to create with Animation:Master! I've always been indebted to them. These tutorials took me from frustration and failure to understanding and accomplishment.

I just spent the weekend going through these tutorials. These should be included with every sale of Hash A:M. Wow, simply great techniques by a great animator.

 

BTW, if someone was wanting to purchase a non-subscription of A:M, is that a permanent license download or is the CD still shipping?

It's all download now.

Although I suppose the download could be copied onto a CD.

I'm not sure how Hash Inc distros to schools so you might want to check directly with them.

 

The way I parse it it's all subscription... one lasts forever (sans updates after the first year) and the other lasts for a calendar year.

Thanks, Rodney, sounds good.

[robcat2075]

Perhaps these could be given a prominent and very visible mention on the tutorials page of Hash.com?

[Fuchur]

I have put a link and some introduction text on the page.

I may create a button for the link too just to make it more visible but till then the link is there.

 

See you

Yeah I thought about putting them on the webserver here at hash, but I think that would be unfair to Barry, since it would take away the visitors to his website.

Just in case I downloaded them too just in case these very valueable tutorials would go down some day in future to be able to reupload them to the Hash-server.

 

See you
