I really appreciate your clarification @jakeblended and completely agree as well. As Orson says, limitations (and I’m adding “structure”) within an artistic team project is crucial to its success.
On that note, one of favorite aspects of Collabs is the potential to evolve and take on a life of its own. Courses and Classes need to be more strict with less deviation in order for specific things to be learned. However with Collabs this isn’t the case and I really like that. In my opinion this increases potential for the spark of CG / Blender passion to fan into flame through the course of a Collab. I’ve already seen this evidenced by the enthusiasm for the TSFHI initiative!
When I chose this art for the project I knew it would be cool and impressive. But I didn’t know what would take it to the next level. TSFHI is pushing it to the next level already. I wish I wasn’t recording a course so I could participate! 😅
