Default New site!

We are in the process of deploying the new site at the moment, expect it to be fully ready sometime tomorrow when we'll make the big announcement.

Just to answer a few question:

Yes you can now watch everything on the site for one Price see here http://simplylightwave.com/signup/subscribe.php

If you're a lifetime member you can download content as you always could, simply go to any page on the main training index here http://simplylightwave.com/lightwave-tutorials/

People that have exsisting downloads with us. You can access them through this link http://simplylightwave.com/lightwave...ydownloads.php That applies to lifetime members as well

If you don't like streaming you can still simply buy tutorials for download just look on any tutorial page.

Yes we do have new training coming but we wanted to deploy the new site before we released it. Please give us 24 hours to finish getting the site into shape and we shall put up the new training.


EXPECT SOME PROBLEMS OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS - Please let is know if anything is not working for you and we will get straight on it

Thanks

Interesting. Any chance you'll have a mobile version of the site, at least for the forums (maybe tapatalk support)?

EDIT: I like the new training paths! A couple of questions/observations:

-Will the new intro videos be available for download too? My internet can be a bit spotty, I prefer downloads.
-The site needs a bit more polish, but I definitely like the way it's headed.
-The subscription plan is interesting, will this effect (lower) the download pricing on individual tutorials?

I'm not a big fan of streaming, I don't like subscriptions because it is like subscribing to four different showtimes where they simply rotate the movies once a month and there is nothing to watch. Same thing with Tutorials, just look at how few tutorials have been produced here in the last four years. I'm not spending that kind of money for that.

Pun intended? I thought this was pretty funny!

You can simply buy new tutorials as they come out if thats what you want . We're not forcing anyone to subscribe we're simply giving people the option thats all.

Access for Lifetime Members has now been restored.

You will find the download links under the video player on any tutorial page. You will see a grey box that says "You are a Lifetime Member. You can find the download links here". You may still be missing access to one or two tutorials but we will also be restoring this shortly.

Apologies for any inconvenience. We're trying to make our content more accessible to people and thus hopefully allow us to produce more training in the long run. Work is still continuing, scene file access should also be restored today.

Please use the contact support link in the footer if you're experiencing any problems or just leave a note in here and we'll get on it ASAP

Thanks
David
