i0n1c50ft: Mastering V-Ray by Grant Warwick

When I said I don't mind if my course is pirated, I meant it. I'm happy for you guys to learn from me. If you're going to support me you will, if not, you won't. The only thing I can do to gain your support is make content that blows your mind.

I can't force you, I can't sell you so it's out of my control. I will focus only on what matters.

I went over 6 months with over 600 people joining the course and it didn't show up on warez once...I got the respect I deserved but sooner or later everything breaks.

I worked with people who had lesser budgets, or people who couldn't afford it, I shared it with friends and people wanting to learn and I did it in a respectful way knowing this was coming.

I have nothing against Diptera for releasing the course, so far, sales have not been affected and I 100% agree that education should be free (or close to) and that is why I charge students $50 for a years worth of content that IS and HAS made a huge difference to the vast majority of people on the course.

Professionals are a different story, they are going to be making money off the knowledge learned in my course and therefore I charge a premium for that which makes sense but it annoys me when people don't offer students a cheap as possible rate.

The only reason I have been so successful while other developers seem to get pissed off at piracy is because I'm not a fucking hypocrite. I have been a learner with no income just like everybody else, but I'm honest about it and now can say that I use 100% legal software to produce everything. As a professional that is my responsibility.(And it's cost 20k so far lol)

I really appreciate the support and that the group buys were kept contained for so long, I'm doing well and I've got a new lesson coming out soon.

IF you want to support me, you are making a big difference to myself and my younger brothers personal life (He recently lost his job, so now I can afford to pay him to help me out)

I am preparing to be an amateur boxer and I am an obsessive psychopath when it comes to learning so I am improving rapidly thanks to being able to afford a great coach and gym.

I have my first two fights in July, so they are very close now and I am bordering on bloodthirsty at this point.

So weather you support me or not, I think it's pretty cool that I've changed myself from being a complete nerd obsessed with 3D 24/7 to becoming deadly and if you can help make that happen I have a huge amount of respect for you.

If I can be happy with this situation, there is no reason for any of you guys to be getting pissed.

Cheers.

Edit: Just FYI, even helping spread the word about my course helps me greatly so if you can't afford it and appreciate what I'm trying to do that would be awesome.

For me personally, the money most definitely 100% is in the training videos themselves.

Even though I get a lot of emails with questions, it is manageable and they are basic questions for the most part.

If you produce good quality videos that teach people actual real world useful information they will buy it if they can afford it.

I would be pretty annoyed with myself if I relied on a community of people other than myself offering support to my subscribers.

Regards;

If you like the course and if you think you deserve it, simply help the Author's it will help them more further teaching.
