Looks like Mr. Boughen has been busy:

Need to find the time to get to these!
Nice! That's great to have a lighting training, by a solid artist. Thanks for the heads up Will.

Looks like some great training there! Really nice to see lighting tutorials!
Great resource, thanks William. Can always stand to learn more about lighting and texturing.

" I acknowledge the purchase will expire in 180 days. " ( ??!!?? ) WTF !?
Long Live the CMIVFX and RTFM !!
.mweeh
So it's online training that you have 6 months access to? Does that mean you can't download the videos to keep?
Due to online theft (forget piracy, let's call it what it is) I completely understand why someone would go this route. But it definitely does make things difficult for those of us who go about it honestly, to view these in a timely manner, and to re-familiarize ourselves with it sometime down the line. Six months seems like enough time with a busy schedule to view these, but that doesn't solve the second issue of re-familiarizing. Fortunately it's relatively inexpensive so it makes a six month cap reasonable.

yes . imo , it is like selling clouds to someone .
you cannot reference to the materials ' when ' you need , etc ...
well , i'm not the RainMan , for sure .

well , CMIVFX has found a solution ; they encode a pattern in the stream ( unreadable by humans , but easy to detect for a pc ) .

sorry but six months is very little time. I am a customer of CmiVFX and have purchased several videos from them and I can tell you I´m stilll rewatching some stuff I forgot and that I still had at that server. Specially if you are working and under tight deadlines, 3 months can really fly.
I understand the business model, but I cannot accept that little time. It sounds more like "I´m afraid my server might go down soon".
3d animation? Hah! Did you take a look through your window?there´s plenty of it...and pre-rendered!!
I just wonder how long it will take until a crack-group creates a capture tool that will make this type of protection useless?

My guess is about 1 week.I hate the idea that people would be copying vids from training places such as these but many of the vids I buy or download for free I don't really get to fully view for a few weeks or months some times. And then I usually really enjoy going back to view them when I start a new project where referencing them might help sometimes a year later. I do think this will slow down the piracy but no where as much as it will slow down the honest people that would buy the vids in the first place. I think most/many people who would really pirate them wouldn't be in the market to really buy them anyway.
Anyway I wish them the best of luck as it looks like they have some great tutorials on their site.
I hope Nick does well with this. [Comment removed by the moderators] [Given the problem with] piracy its a wonder anyone would want to continue doing training. Personally Im glad to see Nick perservering.

the fair users pay the company for the damages they will get from piracy .
