Mirek03, thiose very tuts you are learning from, are peoples best secret...
i guess you all say you wouldnt share because you've never watched a free tut or googled free tuts or dwnld some free i dont want to be picky, and i know you dont mean having to scripts/shaders etc....
if whenever you asked for help and people would say "i cant help cuz i spent time and money to learn" then im sure many people wouldnt learn.
teach someone to the minute detail, but sharing in this field is a 2 way street. whenever i share a technique with a co worker/or friend they in-turn share something with me; and i always feel compeled to share with them when they do teach me a new trick.
i think in this profession, people dont steal "techniques", they apply them. you cant compare this with other fields [i.e. business, banking, or other coporate jobs]
i feel the cg industry is a big collective mind at work. we share our best knowledge, we hence develop even more superior knowledge, and so one. .
i totally disagree with the last few posts.
I didnt mean it like that, but if you want to get really good you can't rely on people to do the work for you, or nurse you through it, I mean, are you going to tell me in detail/otherwise how you created something, say your komodo dragon??
What I mean is your gonna show someone the "ropes" which I totaly agree with other wise I wouldent be able to make more than a cube! So dont get me wrong, to me its like showing some one the basics but then you leave them to create somemting themselves, i.e you dont ask Jimmy Hendrix to show you how to play Purple
