I recently noticed Steve Wrights latest edition on amazon cost 37 for the paperback edition (with DVD), and 46 for the kindle digital edition (not including the DVD).

Not feeling this is fair in anyway what so ever, I emailed Steve Wright directly and brought this to his attention. He said it was "annoying and wrong", but has no direct control over the pricing scheme. So I emailed Focal Press to bring this to their attention. While I believe people should be paid for their work, charging more for a digital version just isn’t right in my opinion.

I’m waiting to hear back from Focal Press about this, but I just wanted to share my slight frustration with the matter, and hopefully some good can come from this, that can benefit a lot of us who want to carry around this handy "book", without the trouble of lugging the actual book around.

Hello
My name is Saeed, a digital compositor of 7 years for feature films. For a
while I have wished for a way to easily carry around Steve Wright’s Digital
Compositing Book for Film and Video around with me without the added bulk of
a book. Now with the ipad, and kindle app, this can now become a reality.
The knowledge, and easy to access reference of Steve Wright’s knowledge, in
an easy to carry tablet, is a wonderful thought. However I am put off by
your pricing structure on the digital version of your book.

The regular paperback edition sells for 37.77 on Amazon. The digital kindle
edition sells for 47.96. A difference of ten dollars, and it doesn’t even
come with the DVD. I am curious to know why this pricing difference exist,
and wanted to let you know that I don’t find it fair to pay more for a
digital copy of any medium. While I’m not expecting the price of the book to
be vastly cheaper, I was hoping it to be, at the very least, the same price
as the paperback edition.

I really want to make this purchase, but I cannot pull the trigger due to
the principles of the issue at hand.

Thank you for your time.

I’m looking to add/create a hot key to view the ‘depth’ in the viewer, does anyone know how to access this?

I’d like to hit one key and have the layer to display ‘channels’ set to ‘depth’ and the ‘display style’ set to ‘R’ for the red channel.

Thanks,

hey everyone,

I haven’t played with maya dynamics much, and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to get a look like this.

i pretty much want it be a constant burst, since every shot with a aircraft will be in flight. Any ideas or tutorials you know of will help. thanks!

*i think my main question is how to keep a dynamic particle effect repeating or at least constant.
