ShadoWWW · March 2008

OK. I will put some of my tutorials here. I upload them to Rapidshare.com
1) Symbols and Symbol catalogs
My first video tutorial about symbols and Symbol catalogs. I didn't have microphone, so I added subtitles.

2) How to create Variable symbols.
There are many ways how to create them. I introduce you one of them.
This time in WideScreen and ZIP file...

Nice work.

A couple of suggestion on things other than the tutorial itself (good work there):
I'm not sure RAR is the best format to use - ZIP is more universal.
Also, you might look at www.mediafire.com for making files available. People can download files without having to wait a minute or enter a secret code. You can also share files individually (giving out the weblink), or make a folder public ("CC3 Tutorials" for instance) and just give the link to that folder.

Well, this might be a good place to place a link to a tutorial i made when CC3 came. It might still be of some use to some people.

I havn't gotten to read it yet, but as this part of the famed tutorials that pop up in discussion every now and then on the mailing list?

Darren, Zip is more universal, but traditonaly rars compress a little better (though not always)

DarrenHill · March 2008

Hi, Joey.
Yes, RAR often does provide better compression, but that is of zero value to people who don't have a rar program.
In this case, however, the file being distributed is an already copressed AVI, so neither ZIP nor RAR will have much effect on reducing the file size.

Example: This tutorial RAR file is reported by windows as being 33,048KB.
It contans two files, an AVI file which is 33,041KB, and a Subs file of 7KB...

Although I am not sure if like the many shadows it is very detailed and a good source to learn some of the new techniques - Great.

Yes, I only stored it without compression. I used RAR as an old skewl man. Well, I will re-compress it to ZIP wih the second tutorial video as well.
And note: For those, who can't unpack the RAR, use WinRAR or wait to the re-compression with the next tutorial.

I can't say if people are discussing it on the mailing list. I doubt it because i don't participate that much on the list since i hate the format. Incidently, i'm so happy there is a forum now.

But i did post it over there at some point when CC3 came out. Feel free to comment if you like what's in it

Thanks to both of you, gentlemen. Good job! As for RAR files, I bought WinRAR a long time ago. A 3-second google search ;-) led to the following result, though:

I think we have used enough of this thread discussing archive formats now. Let us bring it back to the subject now, ok....

To avoid people having to install new programs all the time, I will recommend for the future that people uses .zip though. It wil generally cut back on discussions and complaints regarding archive formats, and all newer versions of windows have built-in support for it.

Zace · March 2008

Great thread btw.
ShadowWWW - Great work there.. did you use FRAPS? Any idea when you might be able to do the varicolour tutorial you alluded to in your horse symbol tutorial?

Patoumonde - Amazingly detailed PDF there - awesome work.

Anyone else got any other PDFs or AVIs of their work?

ShadoWWW · March 2008

Note: The wizard in the new tutorial is again from Dundjinni forum.

Mogul76 · March 2008

Excellent stuff, ShadoWWW. The 2nd tutorial is simply amazing *applauds*. More... please...

Locelaro · September 2008

Great stuff here! Thanks. However, ShadoWWW I could not get the subs in the first Tutorial to work so I had trouble using it. Any suggestions as to what program to use to play back with subs?

Locelaro · September 2008

OK, nevermind I was missing a codec.

I was wondering if it would be possible to renew the links.
This is exactly what I need right now and the links are dead!

Thanks a lot
