Yeah the books late, but were not going to get Dan to finish it by saying, it's xmas eve, where's the book? Good things come to those who wait. I think Dan made a mistake by pronouncing it so early, but it's not a mistake others haven't made, including myself. I think Dan's got a good career ahead of him if he doesn't burn out.

right on?

Well, I personally wasn't asking for the book, but no one has seen or heard from him on this subject for a long, long time. And, since the last "estimate" was around Christmas then it would have made sense for him to have made a post stating the book will be late.

Well I have Dan on my MSN, maybe when I see him online again I can ask him whats up! I saw him pop on for a few the other night, I will catch him next time he is on to see if he still plans on carrying out this book!

Hey hey hey! I haven't checked out the Tutorials forum in a while so I didn't see this thread coming back up. But to answer some questions..

I just got an e-mail asking about the book. I responded by saying that, no, the book was not cancelled, but as I went on break from 3DGamestudio, the book went with it, due to stress, thanks to all of my projects . So, Yes I do plan to pick it up again sometime in the near future here. I actually just opened WED up again for the first time like in a few months and I began making some really nice looking geometry. I'll be done with the little test level within a week maybe... But before I pick up on the book again, I want to go ahead and get used to Gamestudio and its new features. And if someone wants to help me one on one with some of these shaders, I'd appreciate it.

So even though I shouldn't say this, maybe the book will be done by this Christmas...

Oh and I haven't really been on MSN much because no offense, there are just too many little spammers and such on there that try to talk to me, so I sign on to check my e-mail then sign off. Maybe I'll just leave it on from now on...

Umm

Hopefully you weren't referring to me as being a spammer? I rarely say Hey to you lol.....If I ever have......

Lol no, I wasn't referring to you...Not necessarily people on these forums even.

Ok, thats more of a relief to know. I hate being the disturbance to others, that annoys myself.

Well I can't wait to see your book get going. If you need help, I could possibly help, it all depends on how much work I have going on my half for my game.

Good Luck!

hi!,

These are a lot of topics you write. I'm interested for this book.
Is this book for beginner or for pro? I hope the book has from all things something. When are you will be finish and comes the book in a german version, too?

The book will be for both beginners and pro, for pro's it will probably just be more of a reference book, but still useful. I'll try to get someone to translate it as well.


I was also thinking on the cd that comes with the book (if it does that is) I think it'd be great to have some video tutorials as well that correspond with the book. They are easy to make, and it'd be easy to implement it.

I'm going to start up on the book again soon so everyone just be patient .
