Thanks to all Viper Pilots... DVD's now retired from active duty.

[kevman3d]

Howdy! :D

Just a public announcement to all those people who've supported my "Viper" products (as well as the "Tips and Tricks Vol III") on Kurv Studios to say a great BIG thanks for buying the DVDs and even larger thanks for showing me just how talented everybody has been when building this project!

Over the years I've seen some pretty cool Vipers being done, and some nice customisation work too. Its been a great ride, but with no royalty payments being received for well over 2 years from any sales of these three products, I decided that it was time to put the old horses out to pasture.

A couple months back, I formally instructed Kurv Studios to withdraw all of my products from sale as at 18th May 2010. I apologise to anybody who in the last 3 months had wanted to purchase these.

Thanks again everybody, and hope to be back with some new stuff in the near future! (ie. I'm not gone, just retiring the old stuff)

FYI, both your Viper Dvd's are still available on Kurv's website.
(thanks for the great training material :thumbsup:)

Thanks Kevin for the awesome training :D

Yes were just getting rid of old inventory :). Once it is gone, they are gone for good ;).

[Markc]

Hope your feeling better, Wes :)

Thanks Kevin for the awesome training :D

Thanks Wes! Good to see you're up and ok again... Sorry to hear about the scare, but glad it was just that and luckily not something more serious. :thumbsup:

Ah, thanks for the update... In that case, I would suggest that it might be a great idea to consider running another of your "clearance sales" to help both clean off your shelves of what's left, and also allow everybody to get a last chance to grab these DVD's at a great price. Besides, I always think that DVD's look cooler on the bookshelf then today's trend in digital downloads! :thumbsup:

On a more somber note, I'd like to also ask that you donate any payments from sales of my remaining stock to Larry "Splinegod" Shultz and his family (http://csmuse.blogspot.com/) to assist in covering the exhorbitant medical expenses that are keeping him away from recovery. I'd rather the last of whatever you have of my stuff ends up going to a positive cause. Every little bit helps (even if there are only a few left), and some people need the money more then I do... Realising there's some last remaining stuff of mine floating about would be better put to use to help a good friend of many here... :(

Oh, just one more thing...

While you seem to be "getting rid of old inventory" for the last 3 months, could you please REMOVE the Digital Downloads of these products? I can't see how digital downloadable files have anything to do with old inventory.

Thanks.

Kev... Thats an awesome idea. Donating your remaining sales to help Larry is fantastic. I have been following Camillas blog closely and it should be of some comfort. Larry could certainly use the money. Being a transplant patient myself I know how expensive treatment is.

[kevman3d]

Thanks TalleyJC!

Definitely very, very heartbreaking with Larry and Camilla - I figure if there's old stock that Wes needs to get rid of, sales from it may as well go to a good cause and perhaps we might be able to help save Larry's life... :(

[djlithium]

this is an awesome thing you are doing Kev. But never to be out done, I am going to up the ante here. Kurv Studios owes me for the second quarter of sales this year a total of $2,868.94USD which is currently over due in payment by 70 days (at least).
I wish for Kurv Studios to take that money and send it to Larry. It's the least I can do.
Wes, please make this happen.

[SplineGod]

Wow! Thats pretty awsome guys. Camilla and I cant thank the both of you enough. :)
2 years is a lot of royalties. I know that your Viper
series was pretty hot for a long time. :)

[djlithium]

My pleasure Larry.
I know how vital it is for you to get money in significant amounts ASAP. The clock is ticking and I don't like the idea of the sands through the hour glass running out on you.
Jeremy Hughes stepped up today as well, and is donating all of his sales from the Videos he has at LIBERTY3D.COM to you. I sent the results of todays sales to Camilla earlier today. We just started that special, but its growing in popularity and a lot of people are hitting the site checking it out.
Every bit counts.
I'm crossing my paws for you. Hang in there!

Hey folks

I can officially say that these products have finally been pulled from sale now as of a day or two ago (both physical and digital download). Now they are indeed finally retired from active duty. Its an open playground now for the Cylons in the LW training universe. lol! :boogiedow

I would just like to give thanks to Kurv for getting this material out to a community who've always given me fantastic feedback, and produced some pretty cool Vipers as well! :thumbsup:

I noted that Kurv ran a 70% clearance sale on all digital downloads last week before these were removed, so I can only hope that this is a sign that we've raised plenty of money for Larry. :rock:

Actually, with the Viper and Tips III products finally out sold and out the door, any chance of a final tally from Kurv on how much contribution my products earn't? :boogiedow

I saw the wording on the sale mail-out also stated it was also for Larry, so I'm sure it would be great for everybody to know just how well the generous support from the community and Kurv has helped towards making Larry's life even a tiny bit easier from all those digital downloads of other products!

That would be AWESOME! :thumbsup:

[djlithium]

I agree that would rock! :)
We love LightWave! And we love the community that makes it so great!

We have sent Larry a VERY sizable chunk of money, twice now in the last 30-35 days.

But I will let Larry tell you just how much as that's really not my place and I would not want donations to slow down. Thank you to the community for helping us make this money possible.

Keep the money coming people, please donate to Larry via his blog!!

[djlithium]

That's awesome Wes.
It must be great to be able to get one artists sales for use to pay off another.
