COLLAB2021 – HQ – Stylized Fantasy Environment

[Jake Korosi]

Just to let Kent and everyone know, a relative of mine is getting a hospital procedure done on Tuesday morning (it’s nothing super serious) and I’m the one taking them to the hospital, so this will possibly keep me from attending the stream live.   However I AM 100% in for this main project, so if you don’t see me, don’t count me out!  I’ll be catching up as soon as the video is available and of course I’ll check in with this thread as soon as I get home.

If teams are being picked during the stream, I want in on the house exterior!  Whoever the team leader will be can assign me something more specific if they need to, but I’ll check in with them by Tuesday evening as well.

Hi Vincent we use the latest official release: 2.92. It is best if we all use the same version, although if you want to use 2.83 or so, there should be no compatibility issues, but you’d have a ‘handicap’ and miss out on some great features (I think part could be done with Geometry Nodes for instance…)

[Vincent]

Thank you. I just wanted to have a better understanding of the requirements for the Collab. Thanks.

[Adrian Bellworthy]

So sorry to hear of your loss.  Take some time for you. When you are ready we are all here for you.

Guys, I’m changing housing right now. I’ll try to be present at the first meeting, but if not, I’ll catch you guys during the week. Don’t kick me out >_>

[William Miller]

I’m a beginner too.

After stalling for pretty much the entirety of the application period I’ve finally put my name down – there’s always the internal hesitation of what I know vs what I don’t know (I’d like to think I’m passable at the essentials these days even if there’s bits I haven’t done much of, and I can always do an asset that I know how to do) and committing to stuff (let’s be honest, aside from Ludum Dare one weekend I’m not likely to be doing much else this month, even without partial furlough giving me multiple days off work to do this or other stuff), but it definitely looks like it should be a fun project to work on!

@wardred  The vast majority of essential shortcuts feels like they’ve remained static since 2.7ish (i forget what i started on, but it was a long time ago). But currently there is a search function that you can use,  and also the ability to favorite things (which i personally haven’t really gotten into the habit of using but probably should). 

Every time I’ve felt rusty Ive just done a really basic tutorial in the newest version to reacclimate. The low poly rocket tutorial should be pretty good for adjusting to the 2.8+ layout and remembering the basics.  

If you feel like nodes are difficult,  I’d recommend the procedural eyeball course.  It was probably what really cemented nodes for me.

But honestly,  i just use search engines to find things that seem to have changed,  moved,  or that I’ve simply forgotten.

I have signed up at the last moment, hope I’m not to late

@wardred If you have a keyboard with number pad you can press the period/full stop key ( . ) to focus the viewport on what ever you have selected; and pressing the forward slash ( / ) on the number pad will isolate whatever is selected so that you can focus on that. And pressing ( / ) again will take out of the isolation mode.

Other than that I don’t really know if there are specific buttons for these functions, but hopefully at least knowing about ( . )
and ( / ) might help.

Do i get this right?
Im registered for the Project but to actually find out more e.g. whats my team and what are actually my ToDos and so on i will find out while the Live Stream, correct?

There is no Information besides this Post here which im currently miss out?

[Adrian Bellworthy]

You are right.

We will find out more during the live stream.

At the top of the page here is most of the information you need, including the schedule for each live stream.

The thread here is for general questions you may have and for a chat with coffee and cookies.

@ketre It is amazing Karen that you can come here and share this journey with us in spite of everything that is going down at home. I am sorry for your loss but glad if that also means some of the suffering has come to an end. I’m not going to get too preachy here but in a way, you are more a part of this collab than ever before.
Last Collab I was going through my own upheavals and to be honest, the work I had to do in our group was therapeutic from the storms of my life. May we find a way to be there for you in this Collab and Community in our own special way. If you can join in and contribute then awesome. I hope it is as therapeutic as it was for me.

[Kent Trammell]

Ugh it does appear that the updates are not live and/or not functioning. I sent a message to Nick about it 🤞

[Shawn Blanch]

I was testing it out today too and can confirm it’s not live yet.
