@csehz Yes absolutely. Remember, until the finalized version of 2.8 is released later this year, 2.79 still is the official current version of Blender and is the only one that is technically supported, so there’s nothing wrong with using it.
In case I wasn’t really clear in my last post, though – I still have “switched to 2.8” as far as my own personal projects go; I will just have to keep using 2.79 for the animation courses, or any other courses that may have materials that aren’t 100% 2.8-ready yet.
