When will this course be downloadable?
Whatever I say it won’t be enough to describe my gratitude to this site and its admins and to the courses creators. I promise I will pay for the premium subscription here, and will buy the courses that helped me here from their original producer the second day the war in my country ends and banks open again. Every click I make here to download a video is refresh to the promise and a bell ringing inside of me echoing: I promise.. I promise…. I promise..
It is available for streaming now. Please try again.
Unfortunately, you can’t buy this course from 3DBuzz. Jason Busby, the founder of 3D Buzz, passed away of Esophageal Cancer back in 2017.
So sad to hear that! 🙁
I was wondering why the 3dbuzz website is unreachable. What a great tutor he was. May his soul be blessed.
Thank you so much for the course. I started downloading it when, after couple of videos, Mediafiles started to through: Internal Server Error 500 message, every time I click a link to it. Hopefully it is gonna be solved soon. Thank you again!
