@adrian2301 @theluthier Ok so I’ve gone and done all that and I still get the server error.

I may have got the stick by the wrong end. The way I understood (right or wrong) was that we all get access to a version of the Main Assembly file with the camera correctly set up and the artwork linked to the camera as a viewer background image; then we create and rename a copy of that Main file and make that our Asset Project (insert naming convention) file and create our model inside of that and then create a render and put that in our personal WIP Homework threads with Bold Text Titles to say that we are ready to be graded; and then upload the .blend files in the 2nd week after Kent’s instructions in the next live stream.
Hopefully that was clear.

I have downloaded from the Shared Drive an unlinked copy of the Main Assembly file to my computer, but when I opened it I found/realised it did have the reference artwork set as a BG image for the camera, but the file path was for something that wasn’t on my machine and I didn’t want to mess with the download file by downloading the reference artwork onto my machine and linking that instead to the camera. I don’t know if that’s what everyone else has been doing, I just wanted make sure I wasn’t doing something wrong which then led into the Server Error problem.

I’m in Australia, so I’m kinda feeling the deadline a bit differently to other people and I obviously had wrong expectations/understand of what we we’re expected to do and maybe I missed hearing something Kent said on the 1st livestream, I don’t know. I only joined CG Cookie the week before this Collab started so I really don’t have an back knowledge that the rest of the expats on here may have. Sorry for rambling.

Thank you for hopefully helping me to set up my computer for week 2. Goodnight.
