@adrian2301 thanks man. I have really enjoyed this topic and knew there is a gap in content on certain aspects where gold nuggets are out there for the finding but not as a series really. I felt it was a worthy topic that deserved some screen time. Just look at our DOG and you can appreciate what these things can do!

The CGC crew always keeps an eye out for members that develop notable teaching skills with potential to teach officially for CGC. An in-depth curves course would be an excellent addition to the library…By chance does this interest you? 

First off: Wow, never considered that this was even and option! and Second: Yes this is a huge interest for me to give back to the community where I have learned soooo much. I wouldn’t say I am “Instructor” quality when it comes to teaching lol but if y’all see something in me and this goes down that road then GREAT! If not it’s not going to change my attitude about wanting to make these videos. I really do love to teach. I do it at my work and feel comfortable doing so, but I rarely have recorded myself so I am sure I have a lot to learn. I have experience making videos and recordings since I was a kid (using camera, and recording programs from Stop Motion Studio,Microsoft Teams Training Videos at work, Snag-It, iMovie). I have been known to teach concepts incorrectly but thankfully @spikeyxxx and others still maintains their interest and points me back in the right direction when I make mistakes giving advice here and there. I don’t mind being corrected. Sometimes I don’t know I’m wrong.

I only began using OBS studio after you pointed me to it), so it looks like you started this fire. 

Thanks for all of the guidance up to this point, (you and the Pound and the whole CGCookie team). It has been such a fun journey I wanted to share what I had learned because I remember feeling just soooo new and uncoordinated with Blender and completely overwhelmed looking at that default cube and everyone’s work and I didn’t even know how to make anything. I can relate to any new person to this program. The add menu “curves” section was one of those sections I often avoided because it was Alien to me and I didn’t understand it well. Turns out it is a great tool. There are just soooo many in Blender it can feel overwhelming at times looking at them all and not knowing any of them haha.

Long story short: That would be awesome! But I won’t be offended either way. As they say in GREASE “Tell me more, tell me more!”
