 All right guys just a quick video this week the reason being so that I can say thank you because I've now hit 2,000 subscribers So I'm really pleased that I've made it to 2,000 subscribers And I just want to say thank you to everyone that's subscribed to the channel to the people that are Viewing the videos every week and that are liking them And especially to those people that are commenting on the videos as well and to communicate with me a bit of back and forth Really helps me to know what what you guys are wanting where I can help out. It's been a bit of a slow burn this channel I probably started it something like three years ago So it's taken quite a long time to get to where it is today And probably because I didn't take it that seriously when I got started, but in the last six months I've really tried to devote a little bit more time to this to try and make sure I get a video every week Which I've been doing consistently for quite a while. I'm quite pleased with that And I think that that started to pay off I've seen the rate that I'm gaining subscribers double over the last month or two and I'm hoping that continues So I'd like to recruit your help if I could if you are one of my loyal subscribers I know I've got a few of you those that are watching every video that I like in my videos and that are Communicating with me. I've had emails from some of you. I've had chats in the comments on the videos Help me out share my channel if you've got Twitter accounts Facebook accounts Let the people know that there's there's a channel here and there's a handsome guy Making these videos who's trying to help Get some of these things across 3d modeling Media theory all that kind of stuff. So to properly celebrate hitting 2,000 subscribers What I thought I would do is my first giveaway. So I would like to give this to one of my subscribers Which is one of the books I used extensively when I was learning 3d modeling It's called my studio projects game environments and props. It's by Michael McKinley and it really is a cracking book When I first started 3d modeling, I did it at university and there was no requirement there to make things Efficient game ready to keep Polygon counts lower to make use of normal maps, etc And so that's something that I had to learn later and it was a bit of a adaptation to my workflow that I needed to To get my head around and that's where this book came in and really helped me out So if I can just show you some of the projects that you can take on This tree here takes you through some of the processes of creating game ready and art This bug is really cool as well Really low poly and this building exercise with a was a revelation Because it kind of teaches you a modular approach to modeling So it's about making parts that you can reuse over and over And making them fit together. So it's a really top book and that's just some of the exercise It's full of them and I highly recommend it. So even if you don't Win and this book as part of the giveaway then I still recommend checking it out because it really is a cracking book it does come with a CD-ROM as well. It's full of resources. So to get this book what you need to do is dead easy Make sure you like the video, but more importantly leave a comment down there telling me why you want the book I will choose someone. I am gonna choose at random. I'm not gonna pick favorites So everybody will go into I'll choose some kind of random number generator and just pick someone out of all the people That said they're interested, but I will announce who was won through Twitter and Facebook I will put the information for my Facebook and Twitter up there. Please follow me through those channels as well Especially on Twitter because I've got something like five followers and it's sad really sad I'll announce on there and Then I will get in contact with whoever is the winner and I'll send this book out So I just want to thank you again for helping me to get to the target of two thousand subscribers And I'd like to thank you for your continued support in hopefully helping me get to my next personal milestone Which is five thousand subscribers, which seems like hell of a long way off But I really do believe that now that things have picked up that I can get there With the support from the people that are already part of this channel Hopefully that wasn't too sentimental. I think I'm finished now. So I'll see you next week in the next one. Bye
