.

never work for free

Brother firas3d

you can not say " 2 month later" that mean's in the future

we would like to see the finished animation

regarding -- doing a book and selling it -- why not !!!!

it is a good idea -- but you know that a lot of artist who write books -- also do a free tutorials

thanks anyway for sharing

===

sorry of
[later]

its two months before ,
i am doing free tutorials whenever i find myself free and find cool tip to share ..

i did the gillette shading tutorial + chips shading

but honestly the compition is not easy on CG world.. alot of people are good .. and sometimes the only different is the years of experince .. thats why i feel that i cannt share my cards for free


my company didnt take the job .. because of another studio in lebanon ,,
and if i were on the other side .. i'd love to c how firas(me) did the character.


about the animation .. i'll show it soon...once i see the lebanon version

gooooooood job dude

yo firas keep in mind any company in dubai
will stab ur back

dont expose ur high end of fresh idea

alot of my friend worked there
and after one year or so they get fired without perior notice

thankx woody29

but am part of my company

It's really freaky guys !!
Do you beleive that sharing small info would be catastrophic for you?
You're completely wrong. Sharing would help you to develop better and keeping the knwoledge for yourself will not stop your rivals. They should find the solution of all issues during the research process, soon or later.
You'll only hurt yourself by that.

Yes, companies keep their Research and development ( R&D) secrets but one time published it will be better to describe it for others. Look how real pros share their knowledges in the Siggraph Papers !!
I wonder how we could move forward if we still think this way.

Hope you wont count that offense.

Cheers.

thank u, lazzhar to hilight my point,

oneday i'll publishe those tips, but this comes step by step

its simple, knowledge & experince = money

first step will be earning money, second step will be publishing for free over the net, but till that time one should hide more advanced tips

and going on like this.

jschleifer, wont give GOLUM rigging tips till he make better one! ok
even on Siggraph, they show excellent researchs, but make sure that those researchs are not there endpoint

all that for simple reason
its the competition

and i hope u saw my SmartVTX mel.. its 100% free

www.geocities.com/firas3d/smartvtx

what competition r we talking about
is it the competition in the arab cg world
or internationally
i dont think that u r talking about the arab world
coz u just agreed that all arabs r lame in maya in this thread

http://www.maxforums.net/showthread....2&pagenumber=3

well u didn’t say that exactly
but u know what I mean
and now u say that the competition is not easy and that there is a lot of good people

Unless u think that there is a lot of good people but none of them is ( motamaken)
so i guess we r not talking about lame arabs
so its international

i dont know
but i dont think that people of Europe and America or any other cool places will compete with u locally
im talking about the principle only nothing more
im not in hurry to get more knowledge
my hard disc is stuffed with super powerful learning resources and im only a newb having fun

actually even if we were talking about arabs or internationally
they both have an enormous amount of super powerful learning resources
to name a few, the gnomon dvd ,alias dvds, books like maya secrets of the pros and much more.

My point is:
I agree with u 100% about making a book or something like that
If the reason was spreading knowledge and why not making money in the process
But if the reason is hiding knowledge unless there is money
That just makes it super uncool

Like I said it’s the principle that I don’t like

But hey its your principle and its your knowledge
You free to do what ever u want with them

Maybe you r just a material boy living in a material world

u r wrong in that, there r lots of projects that my company lost because of European competing.. its price&quality equation


i am not hiding knowledge .. but its all about competion & busniss

and one the the worst things in my carrier is the few amount of prof people in the region..

maybe i was lucky to work with best people in Jordan 8 years ago, and i learn from them.

yo firas do u stab

have u stabbed someone

seriousely
do u work alone or with team ?

The only reason I think you all used English is that you guys think this is some kind of Elite-Talk.. sorry, no puns intended but.. why don't you share it with poor proletarians who don't speak english ?

Why did I write this in English..well, at least I admit it.. I'm a rotten bourgeoisie comrades
