I purchased it last night, and have watched the first weeks worth of videos already.
Really well paced, and clearly explained. I also agree with the order in which Raf is teaching things. I think that this is probably the best resource for someone who wants to become a Softimage TD. I'm going to convince the owner of our studio to purchase it as training material for our new TD's. Great job Raf!
