I’ve watched Alex Alvarez’s training DVDs on Dynamics and listened to his Lighting/Rendering lectures at Gnomon, and they are amazing! I’ve learned so much from the DVDs and lectures, they have made me a much better visual effects artist. I started using Maya for effects animation when I joined Square USA for the film “Final Fantasy” about 4 years ago. I wish I had these DVDs then. Well, better late than never.
