A time of Reflection

Hello all, this is a serious post.

After thinking about this for a long time, I have truly decided not to do 2.5 tours any more , partially due to blender only being in stabilization stages and I doubt anything new will be coming until 2.6.

But what mostly contributed to this decision is my personal life, time is very rare these days and I want to truly get back to using blender for actual content, (hopefully to get a better life then I have now) not just tutorials.
But also the reverse. I will be trying to cut back on my time at a computer to do other things, and live a bit more as I have become quite irritable and go off at little things.

I will still be covering any new tech/features that appears and stay up to date with blender development. and i will do tuts if they are demanded of me. just email me any requests and I will try my best to get them done for you :)

this decision is partially eased by the many sites out there making tutorials and videos of blender and covering things much better then I can. and that I request those who follow this to do your own experimentation to go discover these developments yourself, and add to whole that is Blender :) and feel the same goodness and fun that I feel

Thank you all for following me, and all those visit these pages (~300-1000 views a day) and I wish you all the best for the foreseeable future.

See you all around sometime :D

Even though i did not produce any tours/tutorials as you have, i can relate. Just want to thank for all the good things you have done so far.

Thank you for inspiring me. And, thank you for allowing yourself a chance to do other things...Who know where this will lead to...maybe you will become an ornithologist!

Thanks for the tours mfoxdogg, they were really helpful, and we still have some on our desktop.

Good luck with your animations :)

Michael, thank you for all your efforts and knowledge you shared with us. It was great insight, looking back at your 2.5 tours and helped in great deal to migrate from the previous version. We can't ask anything more, bless you.

Arindam.

I watched every single blender 2.5 video from you. I moved to 2.5 with ease. Thank you.

Hi.

I was wondering, how do I get that dynamic spacebar feature in 2.5? So I can have it emulate 2.49's spacebar command? I've seen it in a past video of yours but I forget :(

Tx for all.
Take care of yourself.
