Hi Cafe folks :) I have noticed that quite a few questions which require more complex solutions and deeper knowledge are sometimes unanswered on Cafe. Also, I receive daily requests for help via pm for complex problems where I unfortunately mostly can't help due to lack of time. This also shows that real high quality stuff is not really shown anywhere, apart from bits and pieces scattered all over. Most tutorials that are available are revolving around localized, specific effect or with issues of medium complexity. Given this I am pondering with the idea of creating a "master TD" section where I would show some really advanced rigging, setups, TD stuff. For example, are you interested to know how to create interactive rubik cube? polymer rig? custom python effector? L system rigs? pond drops? slinky? gravitational waves? or any effect that pops to your mind? Let me know then and we can think about how to set this up if there is interest. Since this would require a lot of work we are thinking about creating a small section in forum which would be accessible for small fee to members. Recording this tutorials would take a lot of time so some compensation is expected. The final result would be video training per project, scene files with documentation and comments throughout the scene (Annotations, Xpresso comments, code comments) to help user dissect and understand the logic and principles used. If you have questions simply fire away! Cheers

i didn't know you would make it subscription based. i'd much prefer to pay individually for the tutorials, since i don't know if this or that topic would be relevant for me. and if i'd go for a subscription, then i'd like to know more about what to expect... how many tutorials will there be in a month? how elaborate do the tutorials get? (makes a huge difference if there's 3 tutorials a month 10 minutes each or 3 hours each)... maybe also an upcoming topic list? don't get me wrong, i don't want to be negative here, i think the idea is great, but i'd really like to know more before buying in, especially if it's subscription only. maybe give the people the choice of going subscription and save a few bucks in total opposed to buying the tutorials individually?
