How much of the money you get is sent to the Israeli army?
I bought this book about 2 days ago and I love it! I also like those 2 bonuses alot!
Im broke but i might get it as soon as i get a job.
Good Morning Andrew,
I just bought the Wow factor and I am very pleased with my purchase. I do have a couple of questions about The Vault though. I was able to download, unzip and open each of the files in blender 2.5 successfully, but I noticed that there is no texture folder containing textures. The textures are in the files though. How did you accomplish this? I always have to move from one computer to another and have to transfer the textures with the .blend files and then reload the new file path on the new computer to have my textures in place. Is this a part of the baking process?
Please advise… This would save me a lot of headaches.
Always Learning

why in “the vault” set, there isn’t the G1file?
Great work but it has some error in the writing.
I cant wait to get it. just need some cash, hurry up and pay me work!…..
Too bad i wont be able to get to two bonus packs :’( but oh well i can see why u took them off. ill just have to find my own way of doing it.
But anyway cant wait to get the WOW FACTOR!
Hi Andrew,
This week I had to spend 12 hours in trains, and I have listened 3 times the Wow factor in MP3 and the Interview with François Tarlier. Both are very interesting.
A funny thing is that I am french, but I had no difficulties at all with the understanding of your own voice, while understanding François was sometimes more difficult !
Maybe it is due in part to the fact that the interview by phone altered a bit the voice… Anyway, everything was interesting and it helped me to spend time usefully ! Thank you !
@meqisus : I have not yet had time to look in depth , but I think that the images used as texture are packed. You just have to find in the file menu the External Data unpack feature, and a texture subfolder should be created on your Hard Disk.
just bought it – I can’t wait until the download of the bonuses finishes…thank you very much, andrew, keep up the great work..
Hi,
i’m really interested in buying this pack,
but a bit deceived i’ve missed the 2 extra tuts (out of the blue & Some like it hot)…
I’d like to know if there’s a way to get it by now, as it’s blender 2.5 oriented, it still is interesting…
Thanks for your answer,
see you,
bye !
Hi!
Another happy designer here
Just bought the wow factor few minutes ago and now I’m enjoying it.
Also I wish I could get those extra bonuses…
But anyway, the ebook is great!
Hi there!
I’m going to buy the Wow Factor too
This website is amazing, this is the first time I post here
Isn’t there any posibility to acquire the extra bonuses? I’m sure there is a chance to get it. I’m seriously interested in “Something like blue”
Greetings from Chile
Wauw! I just bought it, and I was just sad that I was too late for the bonusses. But well well, I still received them (don’t know if this is all of them, but still.. cool enough for me
).
Thank you so very much Andrew.. I never understood those composite-thingies.
Seems that I missed some of the bonuses that would make this an interesting buy… not sure its worth buying this now.
I kind of agree with shawn… don’t get me wrong, I love blender guru and i’m totally ok with finally paying mr. price for him helping me get better at blender. Personally I don’t see why he doesn’t release the 2 extra’s separately, or as a bundle now that the free deal is over, i’m sure he could make some more money off of it and make a lot of people happy who are willing to pay for it. I also don’t understand the reasoning behind not giving the vault to everyone who purchases this. I mean I can see not wanting other people to simply steal his hard work, but couldn’t you put some sort of license on the blend files. Sure people might still take small parts of the scene so the source wouldn’t be recognizable, but why’s that such a big deal. It’s a shame too because i would buy this if the vault was included, instead i don’t know how much i could get out of this with just being told how to create effects without actually seeing the scenes they were meant for. And lastly i do understand that this is a good deal even without these things but his persistence in saying it is, is sort of a turn off. It reminds me of all those infomercials that try to rip you off and keep putting fake numbers with no meaning saying “real value $100″ and then crossing it out like 10 times which mr. price does as well, and then saying the final price which is ridiculously lower. I mean c’mon was he really ever considering selling this for $120. In all honesty just the fact that he made a 15 minute trailer promoting this means that it has a lot of stuff in it and the thorough descriptions had me ready to buy it instantly once the video was over (that is until the last 4 minutes or so), but the constant reiteration of him saying what a good deal it is turns me away. I am really glad that he tells us the blend files aren’t included because it saves me the frustration of finding out after buying it. All in all, the trailer made me dead set on purchasing it and then, sadly, dead set on not.
Hi Andrew,
I am a beginner on Blender, but I really love to using it!
However, I would ask that your wow factor will be shipped/speed posted oversea to Hong Kong?
Hi Joe, For what I know the wow factor is only delivered by download on the internet…
I totally agree with both Shawn and Paul. I didn’t have the cash at the time and don’t feel the product is worth it without the files needed to complete the tutorials. Who would consider those a bonus? I also think the interviews and mp3 disk are a bit pointless, and they should all be video tutorials, except for the compositor node reference which fits the format. Anyway, thanks Andrew for all of the awesome tutorials on your site, but I think I’ll pass for now and see if the next paid tutorial series is worth the cash. I’d pay double to triple that price for video tuts on Blender compositing with the included scene files and reference. The information is worth it since this is a lacking area of most Blender training and your training is good enough to warrant that you should make a living from it if you produce more. For now, I’ll keep looking. CMIVFX just put out a training title, so I guess I’ll look there next. Take care Andrew. You have a great site in spite of this poorly thought out offer, and I at least have to thank you for that. Best of luck.
Just bought it not to long ago; missed the opportunity for any bonuses, but lots of wonderful and helpful material.
You need to mention that you are selling only electronic materials. It is a little misleading when you have illustration of the book as if it were printed and what looks like actual pages in your video ad. Just a suggestion.
Dear Mr Price
I am writing from India. How should I make the payment? I am sorry to say I do not have a credit card. But I have the money.
I’m going to buy, but just one question. Have 100 people already bought it?
We need all of the scenes that you talk about so we can actually experiment on them.
Hi Andrew, In the Dirty Lens Tut you say “Find a texture with an alpha channel that looks like smudged finger marks. I am using this paint texture (from cgtextures.com) which you can find included in the tutorial files.” Did I miss something. I can’t find those files. Thanks
Love the book. Read the book. I like how you went so deeply into the details in the book. My only complaint was that it did not go on. However I eagerly await your next book or publication. Thanks for sharing that knowledge with the world.
I was pretty decided about buying the book but now I’m having second thoughts. If I hadn’t known about those bonuses, I’d probably have gone for it, but knowing now that the book may no longer be updated and that I would be paying the same and getting less… I’m just not sure. The Vault especially would have been of inestimable value to me as it fits my learning style.
I imagine I will still buy it eventually, but that video quenched the hole burning in my pocket.
I think I’ll be jumping right on The Nature Academy (depending on price. Is there information on that? I’m po’), so I look forward to that.
I am very pleased with the mountain tutorial and beyond grateful for ALL of the AMAZING tutorials on Blenderguru.com! I’m definitely a fan.
After many months of wanting to buy The Wow Factor, I finally did it
I’m looking forward to sinking my teeth into it. Good job and thanks!
I just purchased The Wow Factor. It is very easy to follow just like Andrew’s other tutorials. I was wondering, am I supposed be able to download the *.blend files for the Wow Factor?
Hello,
i’m sorry but the link you sent me didn’t work and i’m pretty interested on “the node encyclopedia” at least, can we manage something for that?
p.s. Sorry for my english i’m italian and i really appreciate your website.
M.G.
I have just downloaded my copy of the Wow Factor, however, each time I try to download the bonuses I keep getting this:
