One more thing…

If I click Library, and then click tutorials, I can see all the wonderful tuts you host…

But there is no option to sort, filter, or display just the ones I need for the host app… I have to go back to the previous page to get the Forum Related Articles area on the sidebar. No sidebar on the full tutorials list? The search is there, but I already said my issues with using Search to find tuts…

And again, I’d just like to state: I love the Cow! You guys do great work, hard work, and lots of it… I just have this one beef! And of course I don’t expect a change just for me, but I do feel that other will be just as confused as I, so I brought it up here!

Thanks for the awesome tuts/website!

So why not call it “Forum related Articles and Tutorials” ??

I have a friend who watches the video tuts with me and watched the MoGraph tuts with me last night. Between my post and your reply, I called him, and asked him to go to the CC website, and replay one of the MoGraph tuts we wathed last night… he never found it. I even told him “tutorials are articles”, and he still never found it. He called me back 20 minutes later and said “I give up, where the heck is it?”

Calling tutorials “articles” is confusing to me. Sorry about that but I just don’t consider them “aritcles”… I consider them “training” or “tutorials” or something else.

I understand that the method of getting them onto the website makes them “articles” because of how they are posted, but its still confusing. All the other training/forum websites have separate areas for Forums, Tutorials, and Articles/News/Etc. I’m not saying conform and be like everyone else, but an obvious Tutorials area would be nice.

I have my sister looking at your website at the moment to see if she can find Rabinowitz tuts on After Effects… I will let you know how that goes! (both of my test subjects are not with me, I sent both text message with CC address and instructions on which Tut to watch)

“So I click on Articles, even though I don’t want to read news, I want tutorials.”

Was writing from memory, so this isn’t exacly accurate…

Its Library, not Article in this step.

And instead of just filing the complaint, I figured I could/should/would offer a possible solution…

If you are in the breadcrumb “Library>Tutorial” you should be able to quickly and easily click on a drop down list, or just a page like you used to have with all the host apps listed…

The Search is there, but the Seach is text based, and its possible that Cinema 4D tuts will not show up in the search… Try a search for Cinema 4D and many of the MoGraph tuts are missing. I decided to learn MoGraph first since it applies the most to the work I do daily, but searching by host app leaves me hanging… A search for MoGraph gets me what I want, but anyone looking to learn everything they can about Cinema 4D here at CC will get only 4? I think its 4 tuts from a search string “Cinema 4D” and there is Many more tuts that deal with Cinema 4D and its modules here on CC… Great tuts that should be included in a Cinema 4D search, in my humble opinion.

A search for MoGraph should return all MoGraph tuts, which it does, but a search for Cinema 4D should include these tuts for MoGraph, as its the over all host app, but there are many not listed in the results.

Thanks for listening! The quick edit on the title on my first post was amazing, you guys are on it!

On a side note, I do like the new layout as a whole… Looks nice, and everything work great, access is easy, except for the tutorial stuff…

Love CC! good work guys, you’ve taught me a TON and I do appreciate it!

What is the bug? Please elaborate!

[Brian Lynn]

Without more information all I could suggest is maybe Cycore particles with some effects on them to make them look like lights, or maybe use lights and Trapcode Lux plugin… I’ve had great luck using Lux, does a great job for what it is!

About that 3gb limit… I’ve read quite a bit about MAC vs. PC, 32 bit vs. 64…

If you are running Windows 64, and have say 8gb of ram, will AE take advantage of this?

Will AE even run on Windows 64?

I know on a MAC it seems no matter what you do you’re limited by how AE is built as to how much ram it can utilize… Windows does not have this issue, so by all I’ve read AE should be able to use 8gb of ram on my Windows64 machine??

Thanks to everyone who posted!

My car is great though, I love it… ’94 4Runner (ok, its an SUV) but it runs fantastic… paid less than $5000 for it. I have no need for anything flashy or expensive. Who needs to spend all day worrying about their $60,000 car getting scratches in the parking lot?? I dress nice, buy nice toys, and put them both into my dirty, beat up, but always 100% running Toyota =)

I use Apple’s website to price at a worst case scenario… being a system builder at heart (built every windows box I’ve owned since I was 12? 14 maybe) I would go someplace other than Apple for the RAM… Its another reason I’ve never gone with an Apple computer – I like to get my hands inside the box and play around =)

I ran Cinebench on my laptop… scored a whopping 3,000 on multiple CPU renders… about the same on OpenGL performance. Is there a comparison/database site like you can find with FutureMark, AquaMark and the other gaming style benchmarks? Something I can use as a reference?

[Brian Lynn]

Yes, I am windows… I will search around for some bench marks and see what I can find…

I would work on a nice MacPro, but the one I priced out would cost three times more than my car!
