lukadad Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I got this idea while viewing some great tuts which where at the far end of the forum. So i am going to create an E-book for most of the tutorials available in here. Of course every author will get credit. I am gonna do it in several languages too. Russian, Georgian, German. And the most important thing is that it is gonna be freeware!! The following authors have already agreed: Europe the0chef barkbark00 cjmcguinness Helio Crazy Man Dan Picc84 HITMAN-X- sagedavis BuzzKill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 As long as I am given credit for my work I have no problem letting you e-publish my tutorials. Be careful, Some of the tutorials on this forum are repros of PS tutorials and the original tutorials may retain some copyrights.

cjmcguinness Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I am relatively new to PdN and have only posted a handful of tutorials so far, but you are more than welcome to use any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squ1rrel Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 i think they have to allow you to do that. but it would be good if (at least the sticked) ones were also on the http://www.getpaint.net homepage and maybe even in different languages =) Quote visit my flickr account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helio Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Not requests for tutorials.Not general "how do I..." type questions. Tutorial publishing, and only tutorial publishing. Thanks. You might want to state that the tutorial was converted from a certain PS tutorial and put a link to it if you can. Quote v An excellent open–source strategy game—highly recommended.

lukadad Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Oh yes and admins please do not move this topic because in my opinion more people will be able to view it here and agree or disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Man Dan Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I'm torn between whether to move it or not move it. Technically, it's not a tutorial... I dunno. I let Rick make the tough decisions. It's his forum, after all. :wink: Regarding permission: Some of my tutorials (read: Gradients, Drop Shadows) have been made obsolete. Gradients are now built-in to PDN, and there are also two plugins that create gradients. The BoltBait / Illnab tag-team plugin even allows for HSV curve blending. The only use I could see for the old tutorial (nitebyrd's or Rick's methods) is that you can create multi-stage gradients. The Drop Shadow tutorial has also been obviated by a plugin that automates the process. After the damage is done, I really only have one tutorial: Glass Orbs. Right now, I'm updating that tutorial, as it still is written for 2.5. Jake also has another Orbs tutorial. And then there's The Basics, my biggest contribution that I've still yet to make... Sure, you can publish my tutorials. I'll let you know when they're ready for primetime.

HITMAN-X- Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I have no problem with you using my tutorial as long as you give credit, and do not sell or make people pay to use them / view them. I have to ask how ever how will this E-Book work ???. Does it link to the tutorials or is it something else. but it would be good if (at least the sticked) ones were also on the http://www.getpaint.net homepage and maybe even in different languages =) Yes I want to do the tutorials in other languages as well. One of my idea with dextut was to try and find people who knows a 2nd language to convent the tutorials to. But it may be hard to find people to do this for free as it does take up time.

sagedavis Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Actually, this is a VERY good idea. If you are making a tutorial ebook, and including the images used (so as they aren't still linked to the website), this would actually keep my bandwidth down some. I have had to up my bandwidth on my site already and the month isn't half way over yet. I totally would allow permission for any of my tutorials to be added. I have only written one so far, and still need to add some edits to it when I get time. Sage Quote When in doubt, Try it out. I made this sig file using http://www.anim8or.com and making all of the textures with http://www.getpaint.net I love freeware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I'm surprised UH hasn't stepped in and said "Hey, I invented this!!"... His WikiBook is a pretty similar concept, and its already in progress.

BuzzKill Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Greetings Luka! I just got done reading your PM regarding the use of the tutorials I have written. Feel free to do with them as you wish. Rewrite 'em, leave 'em as is, whatever... give credit, don't give credit... it doesn't matter to me either way. Anyway, it sounds like you've got your hands full so, good luck!

lukadad Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Hey, I invented this! I didn't see this topic earlier. oh really?!!!! i think that we are thinking pretty similar, because the first idea i had was to create a plug in installer then i was told that you already where working on it. Now i decided to do this, and you come up and say you were doing this earlier. Anyway if so would you let me continue working on this project??
