Lume Tutorials - now available in PDF

[Rork]

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know, due to several requests, I made the Lume tutorials into a downloadable PDF. So people can read them off line too.

Just follow the link in the footer ;)

cheers all,

Would be nice to have an updated version. last time I tried those tuts they were written with a really old version of XSI. Plus no one I knew was ever able to get all of those working with 7.5

If someone can help be get them all working I would be happy to produce a Flash Video version for the web and host it.

you're welcome mate........

For the PDF I added some small updates for working with anything higher than 6.5.
All tutorials are still very valid for the latest versions of XSI, also 7.5 as the workflow and shaders didn't really change inbetween version.

At the moment there are two shaders that are broken due to MR updates, Lume_Facade and lately Lume_Glow. Also Lume_Glow shipped with XSI isn't working anymore. During the latest beta I again logged this as a bug and hopefully in the next version it will be fixed.

Last thing, writing or recording tutorials takes time. And time is a commodity we cannot always spend the way we like. I have tons of ideas for additional tutorials, but don't have the time to properly sit down, do the writing, make the screenshots, do some re-editing, make the HTML page etc. etc. The same with video, it takes time to make yourself a little script, record, edit, encode, HTML etc. etc.

What parts of the shaderset are you having trouble with? I always check my base scenes when a new version comes out and they're all still working, with the exceptions mentioned above.
