      @adrian2301 @theluthier Ok so I’ve gone and done all that and I still get the server error.

      I may have got the stick by the wrong end. The way I understood (right or wrong) was that we all get access to a version of the Main Assembly file with the camera correctly set up and the artwork linked to the camera as a viewer background image; then we create and rename a copy of that Main file and make that our Asset Project (insert naming convention) file and create our model inside of that and then create a render and put that in our personal WIP Homework threads with Bold Text Titles to say that we are ready to be graded; and then upload the .blend files in the 2nd week after Kent’s instructions in the next live stream.
      Hopefully that was clear.

      I have downloaded from the Shared Drive an unlinked copy of the Main Assembly file to my computer, but when I opened it I found/realised it did have the reference artwork set as a BG image for the camera, but the file path was for something that wasn’t on my machine and I didn’t want to mess with the download file by downloading the reference artwork onto my machine and linking that instead to the camera. I don’t know if that’s what everyone else has been doing, I just wanted make sure I wasn’t doing something wrong which then led into the Server Error problem.

      I’m in Australia, so I’m kinda feeling the deadline a bit differently to other people and I obviously had wrong expectations/understand of what we we’re expected to do and maybe I missed hearing something Kent said on the 1st livestream, I don’t know. I only joined CG Cookie the week before this Collab started so I really don’t have an back knowledge that the rest of the expats on here may have. Sorry for rambling.

      Thank you for hopefully helping me to set up my computer for week 2. Goodnight.

        @vincav81 We saw this issue a couple times yesterday and it came down to permissions. I just added your gmail address to the folder with proper permissions. Let me know if this fixes the sync issue.

          @andybegg Oooo yes I’m eager to try this addon for the creek animation! I didn’t know it was free. Bonus!

              Would it be possible to pin the team forum streams to the top of the pile like this one? I know you can bookmark them but it may be easier if they all appeared at the top.

                  What do you think of pinning the team threads @theluthier 

                Would there be too many and fill the whole page?

                  Hey @theluthier

                  Hope I’m not stepping on anyone’s toes here. After the live stream, I got a little carried away trying to “xerox” the image to figure out those placements.

                  Here is what I came up with:

                  Not sure how apparent it is in the first image, but basically to get it all lined up the world has to curve away from the house. As does the water.

                  But now the bushes rocks, water, water wheel, etc all line up pretty well.

                  Anyway, I hope it’s some help to you.

                    @theluthier Yes thank you. Every thing is green. Now I can start on my cart homework, thank you.

                      That’s brilliant @andybegg! I’m so impressed. If you’re synced with the project folder, can you add your .blend to this directory: /SPICE-VENDORS-HOUSE/SCENES/MODELS/WIP

                      I want to take a closer look 🤩

                        I’ve been leaning this way too. I have trouble finding them quickly 😅

                        So yes I will pin team threads now

                          @theluthier btw, I will try the trim sheet approach because it could save a lot of GPU and I’d like to learn how it work better. (I watched a video and unlike lightmap texture you can actually stretch you UVs to fit the texture as long as it isn’t huge). I’ve already uploaded my progress on my WIP and will be continue doing so this week-end 🙂

                            @theluthier  If you could do the same for me–I’m running into the same issue.   Thanks

                              @theluthier I can’t do it either. I’ve tried linking the camera to my own scene, but there is no camera (despite me being able to look through it in the main file?)

                                Oh yeah, Thanks! I’ve been working locally but I’ll upload it to

                                \SPICE-VENDORS-HOUSE\SCENES\MODELS\WIP\HOUSE\EXTERIOR FRONT

                                Should be there now

                                🙂

                                  Excellent landscape model, @andybegg 👍!
