Tutorial Development (Commercial)
When it comes to tutorial development, as many will know, I tend to find far too much on my plate a lot of the time. Because of this i have decided set my focus considerably narrower and instead try and get things done "one thing at a time".
So firstly, let me point out that I need to get the Cutty Sark ready for standard commercial release - it was going to be a limited edition however I have spent so long developing this set that it really makes no sense for me to release about 10 copies and take a massive loss on the invested time. This set will release mid Feb on the week of the 18th. Set will ride in on two DVDs with a load of bonus features, a pile of decent references and a lot of max models and so forth. It literally is Stormbringer gone Windpunk (I hereby copyright that term forever).
After that is released there will be the following sets;
GameDev 2 - Vehicles. At last a sequel to the great Character Development DVD, this time with myself and Greg working together - I am preparing a vehicle to be imported into the UT3 engine - 11,000 polygons with textures, normal map, specular map and so forth - Greg will then do the coding and technical bits needed to get it into the game engine - from that you will be able to play your modded UT3 with the 3d-palace ATV.
The Essential Guide to Max - Libram De 3DS Max, this multidisk set covers creation of a Transformer mech (that transforms), a Bio engineered killer alien, an environment and also features an encyclopedia like set of small video tutorials covering the 3ds Max interface.
Gamedev 2 needs to be finished first as I have to work within Greg's timetable. the EGM will take considerably longer and will be released mid 2008. Estimated release for the Gamedev 2 is probably the start of March should all go well.

Physical Office
At the moment the workspace I am using is not suitable for 3d-palace video tutorial recording and I am looking to convert out a new area. The cost for this is not massively considerable however during an economic slump such as this, it may take me a little time to get the money together that I need - especially with no new sets due for release for a little while. I am working on it however and I will consider running a donation drive however as you know I REALLY hate running donation drives.
Anyway - about six hundred more quid in the coffers will get that sorted out and I will be able to record uninterupted again. If anyone says "Bank Loan" then go jump off something please - palace has managed for 6 years without one so far thanks
The new office will have room for several desks, whiteboards, drafting tables and all that awesome stuff - in essence meaning I would be at last able to film drawing sessions to help traditional concept artists as well as all sorts of other expansions that would benefit the membership.
Ok, signing out - let me know opinions and things that you think matter.
