DROIDMAKER book now downloadable, FREE!
I read this a couple years ago and it is awesome! Well, I am a bit geeker than most, a big Star Wars fan, and a 3D animator. Either way, I could not put it down. I think it is a great summer read for your students and the price is right.. --- Cornell________________________________________________________________________________
I'm not really sure how this will go over, but i've decided to make my book DROIDMAKER downloadable in its entirety, effective today. It's a long book (518 pages), and I still recommend going to Amazon and getting yourself a copy (it's how you can pay for this "shareware"), but below are links to get PDFs of the book: I've divided it into the three "acts" that makes up the saga. Act 1: Intro plus Chapters 1-6 [1.8MB]
Act 2: Chapters 7-17 [3.7MB]
Act 3: Chapters 18-26
(UPDATE 7/14: I added a little donation button in the left column ... if you love the book, but don't want to buy from amazon, a contribution of your own chosing would be great!)
I don't know how long I can keep these links available, so get it while you can. I hope you'll enjoy it - Droidmaker is really the only work of its kind - and I hope you'll feel free to share it with like-minded Star Wars/George Lucas fans, computer graphics folks, videogamers, movie geeks, and technophiles. The reviews on Amazon have been quite wonderful (both Alvy Ray Smith AND Ben Burtt rave there) but your feedback is always welcomed.
Thank you, and enjoy!
