The highly expected Mancandy DVD is ready for shipping at the Blender e-shop!
If you visit the Blender e-shop, you will find a lot of information about the DVD. So, go ahead and take a look. And don`t forget to order your copy! ;)
I ordered it in early December and got Introducing Character Animation and The Essential Blender for Christmas to keep me busy while I waited. I can’t wait ’til it arrives!
@humble… Won’t work with older version (before 2.44) but should work with new version post 2.44 including 2.50.
From e-shop versioning details: “The tutorials (and ManCandy) are designed to work with Blender 2.44 / 2.45 (the current stable version of blender)…. and the concepts and techniques taught here should remain valid for the foreseeable future.”
hey guys, even if things become incompatible, mancandy will get updates to work with future versions of blender.
for instance, there is already a mancandy 2.1 version that works with blender SVN – since there are some bugfixes in the new constraints that make the old buggy ones incompatible.
the principles are all the same, and the animations should work exactly the same on both mancandies.
blender 2.5x will probably get it’s own mancandy version (not just for bugfixes, but to take advantage of awesome new rigging features) however, the changes are always evolutionary- so you should recognize a lot of the old rig in the newer versions.

From the samples shown at Siggraph I knew I was going to buy this. Bassam put a lot of time into it and I can’t wait to see the final results!
Purchased! Can’t wait to see it…
Looking forward to getting it
Mine says shipped! Not sure if that means it definitely is shipped or not, but its a good sign. I’m waiting to buy creature workshop now.
Will this be unusable when 2.50 is released?
No, you always can use it with older versions ;)
Nobody is forced to use the latest version available.

Danifou, you’re right. What a screwed logic I have ^^
Of course 2.50 should be compatible to files created with older versions…
hurra!
