Happy Birthday Pixel Fondue!
pixelfondue launched one year ago today. We've cranked out over 500 videos and blogs in the last year with over a half million views. The MODO community in particular has been revitalized with many new plug-ins, kits, asset packs and training available. We've grown to nearly 20 regular contributors of new materials and technical help. We opened a 'shop' with links to over 30 products from community members, and just recently a Facebook page. Overall I think it's been a very successful year.
This next year we will continue adding new contributors and providing new material on a (hopefully) daily basis, and we're working on a better filtering system to find the training you're looking for. We've established a newsletter (bottom of the page, people) and will continue to reach out to the community for feedback. One of our goals for the next year is to provide more training on Substance Designer and Painter in particular (we've received a lot of feedback on these programs). I also hope to do more Live Steams on a regular basis - likely focusing on asset creation for games and other industries (so if you know a good interview candidate - let me know).
Hmmm...what else. Did a LEGO contest and we've definitively established the Wolverine as the favorite member of the weasel family among our readers.
I'll leave you with this, the original recording for our iconic (if not beloved...possibly be-hated) YUM YUM!!
