@theluthier in regards to the “distractions” I feel like live streams should have some of that. I could see it going overboard too so I guess there is a balance. But I really like how this was whole course/homework has been presented: There is a whole treasure chest course that is released to watch at will with not much live input and then there is a live-stream teaching the same content (but on a different model) after users watched and took a stab at it and now have questions or sometimes even unrelated questions. This makes it feel more like a community, rather than just another posted YouTube video. I think you do a great job at prioritizing when the questions get answered, like “yeah that is a good question let’s take a look at that blurring once we finish this part I am presenting because it will make more sense once this part is complete” or “yeah we can show you that right now”
I also love that the live stream teaches the concept on a different model than the pre-recorded video treasure chest. Different model aspect helps me learn “how do I apply this concept in another project?” question that I often have. Home run!
I also am appreciative of the fact that simple questions also get answered quickly like “can you explain how to edge slide a vertex?” and it is shown quickly and then we move on. Great work.
