356 RESPONSES TO "VIRTUAL 3D PHOTOS"

by Michael 03/11/2010
I am new to AE, I am the kind of person that finds the special features on a DVD more interesting than the film.
These are the greatest most interesting tutorials.
Just wanted to say Thank you.

Very good tutorial. I'm a senior citizen. I was a Videographer and Editor as well as doing special effects, what w/my unlimited imagination..I can't afford AE, unless you know where I could get it very reasonable. What I did learn from your tutorial is how to do something w/Photo Shop, which I've been trying to learn. I have Photoshop 6. Am I able to do what you did w/my version 6 ? I do have Boris 9 which I'm having a terrible time learning and I can't find anyone or place that even sells a DVD tutorial, not even Boris. Anyway,Regards Dick in MD 410 705-1839 Have a great day. Still learning at 74 !!!!!!

you guys rock. thanks guys
by Oscar Waks 12/15/2009
very few people will offer their knowledge to others for free. Even the billionaires we have in this world cannot give their knowledge or secrets for free because if they do that, they wont be that rich. Andrew you are champ. Come to Kenya and I will marshall all the youth to vote for your presidency so that you will be the first white american to rule Kenya just like Obama is the first kenyan to lead America. keep up and continue posting us with more free stuff and when we graduate to your level and start making cash, we gonna buy your stuff. I just want to be a quarter of your knowledge and expertise and I will be top in my country.chaoooo. Oscar W.O. from Kenya......
by Oscar Waks 12/15/2009
You are a true genious. You know much and have given much back to the society. May the Almmighty give you many happy years on planet earth. A question: what are your computer specs and the camera you are using to shoot your work. Please follow me on facebook(Wakuloba Oscar).....I am building myself slowly by slowly to become a great film and animation guy and I believe your tutorials will go a long way in helping me do that and though I have some few financial hitches,I know I will make it one day. Please post more tutorials(free) please for guys like us. U never know one day we gonna meet and do a great project together and I will give you most of the cash.....Be blessed.Oscar Waks....

Hey Andrew! I recently bumped into your website and is absolutely delightful! I have learned so much so quickly and I have actually had some fun. Thank you so much, all your tutorials are so sweet. Your baby girl must be talking by now, how awesome!
Hey, I wanted to let you know about my Spiritual Master Meher Baba. He died in 1969 but there's lot you can read and learn about him. His "teachings" have really transformed my life and made me so much happier, maybe you will like him too...He actually declared he was GOD in human form; let's see if that awakens your curiosity: http://www.MeherCenter.org/meherbaba/universal.html
There's actually a spiritual center in Mirtle Beach.
You should go and visit with your family.!
All my blessings!
