Shake SDK

[i3d]

Hi Guys I recently purchased the Shake SDK from Apple Pro Training series. and in the Video they say to contact shake-sdk@apple.com. I did that but my email bounced back and can't seem to find it in the Developer apple site. I tried contacting apple but no one is responding! Did i just waste my money on this training? Regards

Shake is discontinued.

Did i just waste my money on this training?

Depends on wether ro not you want to learn to do compositioning or just learn a trade you can start working money on.

Thanks Joojaa

Yeah I know shake is discontinued, im still using it though, but im planning to start developing some plugins, and i could dive right away with Nuke, which i still need to learn, or learn how to program using shake which i know. but if the SDK can't be accessed anymore, why are they still selling the book? it's useless like that, and it's not a cheap material as well!!

Well on the work I did for the past 3 years i had to learn a new sdk on the avreage every 2-3 months. Its not really a big deal, once you start having the domain knowledge on how the things behind the scenes works its starts to be sortof be totally irrelevant. Thats the level you should be aiming at. A sdk is just a documentation for how they want you tio structure your tough but usually in the same domain its sort of almost the same everywhere.

So if you cant pick up any sdk you know domain of, in a month or so, then its more of a sin of critical failure on your part than anything else

Thanks Joojaa for the reply again. I was able to solve this issue, the SDK is right there in ADC section, i just had problems with my account.
