Reply To: Useless tutorial for 2.8+

[Matthew Fricker]

If you get stuck , why not just politely ask the crew and community for help here and I assure you that you will get your answer. It seems to me that your frustration gets the better of you and you immediately just want to start a war instead of just asking the relevant question, especially when you start it with things like “After going through some tutorials, It looks like it is safe to screen out JLampel tutorials and Tremmel tutorials” And then you shoot everybody down when they try to be helpful – all this because a texture won’t work…..  You’re going to run into issues like this with any online teaching school , or free youtube vidoes so I suggest you just get on with things rather than being so militant with every issue you come across. 

As everyone keeps trying to explain to you, Blender is hugely complex and is changing all the time so it is impossible to keep every tutorial up to date and also keep creating new ones. Instead , old tutorials are retired but still kept accessible whilst new ones are created to keep learning current. If every tutorial ever made was to be kept 100% up to date at all times to keep you happy then they would have to be re-recorded on a daily , if not weekly basis , which realistically , isn’t happening in any online school , anywhere I’m afraid….. just go with the flow and appreciate that Blender is an awesome free program and that we can so easily learn how to use it with the wonders of online learning from amazing schools like CGC.

Back in the day you would be relying on reading a book to learn a program and moaning that a completely new version wasn’t being printed on a daily basis…..
