COLLECTED BY
Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
History is littered with hundreds of conflicts over the future of a community, group, location or business that were "resolved" when one of the parties stepped ahead and destroyed what was there. With the original point of contention destroyed, the debates would fall to the wayside. Archive Team believes that by duplicated condemned data, the conversation and debate can continue, as well as the richness and insight gained by keeping the materials. Our projects have ranged in size from a single volunteer downloading the data to a small-but-critical site, to over 100 volunteers stepping forward to acquire terabytes of user-created data to save for future generations.
The main site for Archive Team is at archiveteam.org and contains up to the date information on various projects, manifestos, plans and walkthroughs.
This collection contains the output of many Archive Team projects, both ongoing and completed. Thanks to the generous providing of disk space by the Internet Archive, multi-terabyte datasets can be made available, as well as in use by the Wayback Machine, providing a path back to lost websites and work.
Our collection has grown to the point of having sub-collections for the type of data we acquire. If you are seeking to browse the contents of these collections, the Wayback Machine is the best first stop. Otherwise, you are free to dig into the stacks to see what you may find.
The Archive Team Panic Downloads are full pulldowns of currently extant websites, meant to serve as emergency backups for needed sites that are in danger of closing, or which will be missed dearly if suddenly lost due to hard drive crashes or server failures.

(一)Introduction
(二)
If you enjoy reading content that provides step-by-step instructions, clear examples, and that won't throw you in the deep with millions of details, this book is probably for you. The chapters aim to be understandable for people without any graphics programming experience, but are still interesting to read for the more experienced users. We also discuss practical concepts that, with some added creativity, could turn your ideas into real 3D applications. If all of the previous sounds like someone that could be you, then by all means, please continue.
The content has been thoroughly revised, numerous times, over the course of 7 years to have finally been aggregated into a physical copy available for print. There's been a lot of work put into the physical copy, treating it as the first-class citizen it is. Both the book and website are equals, their content is the same.
As everything is freely available online, getting the physical copy supports me as an author; and let's not forget that certain charm of printed paper. The book is available for sale on Amazon US, Amazon UK, Barnes & Noble, and many other (online) retailers. Note that at some retailers the book is
ridiculously overpriced; make sure it matches roughly $60 US dollars, or wait a bit untill the prices balance themselves out.
I've revised the source files for the physical print edition and cleaned them up to be available for online reading as well, for those that prefer its content in a singular PDF format. Use this format if you'd like to read during travel, write notes, or print it out yourself. In similar style to the website, this version is, and will always be, freely available.
Note that, similar to the physical copy, links/urls are written out fully or as footnotes, videos show static images, and there's no function hover pop-ups; all to account for the content being mostly offline.
