Does anyone have any insight on why they're closing their doors?
Edit: I did some searching. Heart breaking stuff. What an incredible way to remember Jason and the Community by, by releasing everything they have to the internet. Wonderful stuff.
"Unfortunately, 3D Buzz is closing its doors, not without giving people a final gift (more about that below). You may or may not know that Jason Busby, founder of 3D Buzz and one of the principal partners, dying from cancer back in 2017, and that affected 3D Buzz greatly. Besides founding 3D Buzz, Jason was Director of Animation for The Renaissance Center in Dickson, Tennessee, and was also the author of the books Mastering Unreal Technology Vols I and II."

- mattferderer 7y agoTheir content was gold back in the day when I was trying to break into this field. I may have to download the MMO videos for good memories. I always wanted to purchase & complete that series but I lacked the money & time when they were being released.
- cabaalis 7y agoI never thought I'd see Dickson, TN mentioned on HN. If you're around the area you should visit the Renaissance Center. I remember it mostly from the planetarium when I was a kid.
- azhenley 7y agoI grew up nearby and have never heard of the Renaissance Center. I'll go check it out soon!
- jscheel 7y agoI remember visiting back in 2000 or so, when I was considering a career in animation. I ended up going to MTSU for their animation program (and subsequently getting into tech instead), but I still remember how cool the Renaissance Center was.
