Reply To: Backhoe Contribution – Blanchsb – Exterior Loader Arms and Interior Chair

I’m with you @blanchsb , we have been collaborating a lot, and it’s been a great motivation for me.

My parts are 99.9% complete, I would be happy for you to lead on figuring out loose ends and pass over to me. I’m trying not to spend to much time online while my wife is working, using the internet, but blendering is OK.

I was planning to complete my parts 100% in the next few days, in the mean time if you have the time to figure out loose ends, who needs support, who’s still in the pound, etc. etc. and from there I can certainly finish of some other parts, most are in the last stages anyway.

@jakeblended swing frame is probably where I would start as it’s another part that brings several pieces together. I hope he wants to continue with the dog, but no submission this month and the issues he mentioned last month, he may well need some support.

I also have some other CG projects I wanted to work on during my 6 months of free time, don’t worry I’m not going to teach curves, making tutorials is not me, but you should definitely pursue this.

I hope to turn a hobby into a small second income, and build it from there. I have some ideas I wanted to get onto Blender Market and beyond, but it’s still in the early stage, and I have some time, once the exterior of the dog is complete I can focus more on this.

I need to develop my Python skills a bit more before I hit one idea, but I’m already working on that. This project will be a long term commitment so I can put that on hold for a couple of months.

I think we have all been enriched from this collaboration project, Thank you again @theluthier , it’s given me the confidence in my own ability to take a step into then CG wilderness.
