Title: Free udemy course on 3ds max and corona
Post by: widhi muttaqien on 2015-05-06, 03:26:08
Hi guys,

I'm not trying to sell anything, in fact I want to give you guys access for free! :)
(Sorry if this post is violating any rules in the forum, please let me know!)

I'm making an online course about 3ds max and corona for beginners. It will be hosted at Udemy, already 52 video lessons finished out of 68 total. I'm planning to give the first 200 students free access to boost up the credibility. I know most of you already used corona for quite some time (longer then me :) mostly)  that is also the reason I'm giving free access is to have feedback from corona expert users on my course. I think the course will also help to promote corona as a new rendering engine.

Wait for the free coupon code in this thread and please give inputs or feedback on what should I put in the course.

regards,
