Hi folks,

CGCircuit is a new site where industry folks can create and sell tutorial videos.  I've released a video series on the Maya API available here.

http://www.cgcircuit.com/lessondetailcomplete.php?val=592

It's almost 7 hours of material that will give you a broad spectrum of the API.  It focuses mostly on C++ but the API topics transfer to Python.  Check it out if you're interested.
I've also released an Applied 3d Math series which gives a practical introduction to the math that TDs use in computer graphics.



Thanks,
Chad

The Maya tutorial looks pretty comprehensive. Nice work!
I would love to check it out. Might have to make my studio get it for me ;-)

Looks really nice! I was wondering if you are allow to review the tutorials offline or you need a conection to have access to the classes.

The videos are streaming only, so you will need to be connected to watch them.

The streaming kind of kept me at bay at first, and I completely
understand the choice to keep it streaming, but it definitely is worth
it, I'm only an hour in and have learned a butt load of cool stuff.

Yep, same happened too me but I finally subscribed and I can't be more happier with the material Chad provided, great stuff in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback!  I'm hoping to eventually create a sequel series on more advanced topics.

Thanks,
Chad

Dear Chad, your course is the best one from any another in the whole world.

Better than fxphd, 3dbuzz, cmivfx etc etc etc

Thank you for your knowledge that you can share!

Yours sincerely,

Vladimir Yudin

Hello Chad,
Your videos seems excellent, my only point would be that after diablo3 ( where blizzard put a gun on the head of legit users by forcing online gaming through their throat), im quite reluctant on online things. What will happen to your user license to watch your video when cgcircuit is out of operation? Have you thought of a compromise like 3dbuzz : encoding user information+watermark in order for your user to download their video several week after your release?

That's a feature you would have to suggest to the site creators.  I am just providing content to the site.  The streaming model no different than the one used on Digital Tutors.

Hello Chad,

I just watched your video Chad, thanks for sharing, to kind of follow along with your material, I also had the khan academy on another window to better help with some of the concepts that you covered.

Hi Chad,

Just brought all your tutorial videos on CG Circuit, was wondering are you planning to teach the UV Blendshape for future class?

Hi there,

No current plans to teach the UV BlendShape.  But with the math and api classes, it just takes some creative problem solving! :)
