if it can be done while still leaving you guys headroom for continuing to make your awesome courses and other lessons – those are the bread and butter of CGC after all!
@jakeblended No doubt, pre-recorded courses are our bread and butter here. I doubt that will ever change. So yes these collaborations would have to fit within our course production regimen. In theory instructors could leap frog tasks. Lets say Lampel and Wayne record a course while I run a collaborative project and when finished we switch.
One unfortunate aspect of the DOG project is that it did seem to lock out some of the more beginner-level and even some intermediate-level members
This is true, unfortunately. One absolute truth about teaching Blender is how impossible it is to teach every skill level. We’ve beaten our brains to a pulp over the years trying to figure out the best way to teach both. I suppose the best way to accommodate all levels is to vary our aim with each collaboration, same as our courses. Sometimes it’ll be advanced, like the DOG, and sometimes it’ll be beginner-friendly.
Regardless I always want to maintain an open door to all levels for all project. It’ll take courage for beginners to participate in an advanced project and patience / empathy for an advanced member to participate in a beginner project. It’d be important to make that clear somehow.
Speaking of courses though – yeah I am SERIOUSLY looking forward to the one you’re working on now. If I have to steal a new computer, I am going to be ready when that thing drops!
I’m so glad to hear this! It’s still a long ways off so you have plenty of time.
