Well, the ratio of tut time to spent time is still staggering, but it’s becoming understandable: doesn’t mean I like it. Admittedly, I’ve puttered ahead a bit just try and do something different within CGCookie. Keep the mind fresh – as it were.
Had a bit of a scare during the 3D animation tut. I clicked on the camera to size up the scene and couldn’t for the life of me figure where the hell all my keyframes disappeared to. Five minutes of undoing my steps multiple times until I realized – the keyframes are per object. Once I chose the camera, no more keyframes. They belonged to the cube. Another hard lesson learned.
Lots of time spent trying to find features in 4.4 that should have been left alone in 4.0. Namely, the ability to change layer names. Seemed like it would be easy in 4.0. Not so much in 4.4 – in fairness, it is easy in 4.4 IF YOU KNOW WHERE TO LOOK.
