COLLAB2021 – HQ – Stylized Fantasy Environment

[Phil Osterbauer]

Karen, I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

[Omar Domenech]

I’m sorry for your loss Karen. Strength to you and your loved ones when in one of this difficult moments.

[Omar Domenech]

I haven’t notice the changes. Are these working right now? Do we have to turn something on in preferences? Maybe delete cache or something like that? 

[Fred Gobry]

Aaaah ! after signing up a while ago I realized I hadn’t checked if I needed preparing for next week (time flies!) And now I just saw that I’ve 200+ messages to catch up on… Is there something essential I should be reading ASAP?

[Ingmar Franz]

I’m so sad about the death of your mom, Karen. My heart and my prayers are with you and your family . 

[Keith]

Sending you and your family much love Karen, so sorry for your loss. 

[spikeyxxx]

I don’t know what to say  Karen.

I’m really sorry for your loss.

[Cookie Dough]

May God be with you and your family, Karen.

Love these replies @phoenix4690 and @dostovel. @hoidolario you’re in the best company in this collab. Don’t worry about being a complete beginner. I’m making sure there are aspects of this project that will be ideal for beginners. The courses you’ve watched are perfect preparation.

I’m going to talk about this during the stream on Tuesday, but the idea of learning is the main point of the collab – that’s true in a sense. It’s also incomplete in a sense. I see the purpose of Collabs as equally to learn as to achieve. I’ll avoid the temptation to type a long monologue about what I mean…again I’ll save that for the stream 🙂

[Kent Trammell]

Ha I KNOW that feeling. The answer is no,  even though there’s been a lot of activity through March there’s nothing essential you should be aware of right now. I’ll be covering all the essential info during the stream on Tuesday. I will also post a “kickoff” message on Monday to summarize immediate need-to-know things.

[Fred Gobry]

Excellent, this is exciting 🙂 

Small practical matter: it seems that the link to form responses (by email or in the notifications) don’t work past page one, as the page number is not included in the link, only the response id.  How do you best keep tabs on long threads like that?

[Kent Trammell]

My deepest condolences @ketre. Blessings to you and your family.

[Kent Trammell]

Nuts, I just tested and can confirm this behavior. Our webdev reported a fix for this last week. I’ll check back with him about it.

It’s been a long-term annoyance with the forum and it will definitely make communication difficult through April if not remedied.

To answer your question about navigating long threads, once the Collab is underway we will organize communication into various threads instead of keeping it to this thread only.

Hey Guys,

   I have a kind of generic question as somebody who picks up and puts down Blender as I have time.  (I’ve made time in April for this collaboration, so it shouldn’t be a problem for this project.)

   One of the most frustrating things I’ve found is keeping track of things.  A simple thing was remembering how to center the view on a specific object or group of vertexes I’m working on.  A more complex thing is trying to wrap my head around nodes.

   I guess for the individual shortcuts I could use the F3 function more.

   What has anybody here done to make sure either the small stuff, like centering, or the larger concepts “stick”.  Obviously, using Blender more frequently would help, but there’s so much to it that there’s bound to be something in one of the various tools that’s handy to remember that you only use rarely.

[Vincent]

I don’t know if someone hasn’t already asked this or it hasn’t already been answered somewhere else, but is this Collab planned to be cross Blender version or do we need to be all on roughly the same version (2.82… 2.91, 2.92, etc…)?
