Awesomeness, it’s a DVD!!

Posted in Blender Institute by Sacha

Today we found some DVD’s (around 2500) outside the door of the Blender Institute. So we had the idea to just bring them inside and start packing them, get them ready for shipment. All I can say is pretty awesome.

Many thanks to Anne and Anja from the e-shop, some guys from the Apricot team and Martin Poirier (theeth) who are working hard to get the dvd’s out as fast as possible…… oh, and Ton too.

Peach out,

Sacha

    *drools* Now the long mailbox wait begins. Hopefully it wont be more than two weeks before I can finally watch it and dig into the lovely production files.

    Very cool!!! Lifting and packing those boxes might be the only exercise Ton etc will get until the next Open Movie ships :)

    Great news! :D
    Anyone knows if the DVD will arrive in the address that are on the account of Blender E-shop or to the account of the PayPal?
    I’m asking because I don’t have credit card and used the PayPal account of a friend… :P

    OH SHIT! I just remembered that the address I ordered with doesn’t exist anymore.
    If I change it in the e-shop is that enough?

  16. DJ_Boxer Writes:

    @SCIBIOTIC: You could try calling and emailing them. But you could also log in right away and change the adress in your account to a current one.

    svibiotic: it was all shipped already. We also printed the address labels long ago.

    Can’t you contact the former address to forward it? If not, then email the [email protected] with order number and new address, they’ll ship you for free again.

    @ton: I’ll see if I’m able to get it from them, but thanks for the alternative if things don’t work out.

    I need to change my address for the Apricot DVD I ordered as well.

    Wow! You’ve shipped all the pre-orders already? Impressive!

    How long will the shipping times be to different parts of the world?

  23. DJ_Boxer Writes:
    May 20th, 2008 at 9:08 pm

    @Chris: On Blendernation.com they just posted from Ton about the shipping. :)

    Can’t wait for mine to get here. You guys need another mirror for the release? My server doesn’t have a bandwidth cap. Let me know if you need another.

    Hey, I wanna watch the movie, but I live in Colombia :(. If you translate the price 34 euros to pesos is a lot 98000 pesos, and you have to plus the shipping like 20 euros… a total of 155 695 pesos :S.
    Maybe could someone upload somewhere the dvd iso?

    Man I wish I had the money to pre-order it, but I’ll definitely order it later in the year when things are better my side.

    WELL DONE GUYS! Thanks for all your hard work. Also, Blender 2.46 ROCKS!

    I have my copy of the DVD, I live in spain, incredible.

    Unfortunately,

    I feel it’s my duty to everyone who wants to buy the “Introduction to character animation” by Tony Mullen to warn them that the files on the accompanying DVD i.e. ORANGE1.RAR and ORANGE2.rar that the files are corrupted and were corrupted from the source. It won’t open, and the author is using many methods to refuse to provide the files. I have opened 2 tickets with Sybex (Publisher), they also sent me another book thinking my copy was corrupted to no avail, they tried on their end and they have the same issue. I’ve read from many forums including blendernation and al, and no one seems to be able to get those 2 files (4 GB each).ALSO on orange.blender.org the link for the FULL COPY doesn’t exist, you have to manually download the files 1 by 1 which is horrible.

    PLEASE DON’T BUY THIS BOOK LIKE I DID IF YOU THINK YOU’LL GET THE PRODUCTION FILES FOR ORANGE.

    Ton, care to comment ?

    Best Regards
