[ENDED] BC1-1808 – August 2018 Class Homepage – Getting Started with 3D Modeling & Blender 2.8

[Zsolt Cseh]

@yukinoh1989 No worries it is natural watching the recorded version of the live stream, if its time does not fit to your schedule/time zone.

Typically I am having the same, but so anyway we will meet in the thread here 🙂

@csehz
awesome so all questions can be asked here then ?
that is why this community is so awesome .
I could never attend to lessons since my current work so this is amazing and i learned already so much

[Zsolt Cseh]

@yukinoh1989 Ideally the live stream is the best place of putting questions, but as we are from all around on the globe and also life happens, for someones the recorded version stays and that is fine.

Although the CG Cookie site also has a good looking mobile version where the contents can be watched online, for saving some costs I used to download the recorded stream to the phone at home and just go 😀 Then watching it anywhere, on the autobus or in the breaks at work.

So yes absolutely feel free to ask here there are a bounch of experts, anyway sometimes your question might require some printscreen or even attaching your .blend file and that even more fit to the class thread.

@csehz good to know . tommorow the first lessons start it seems.
just wondering is it only one day a week the lessons are been given or is that several days ?

@smurfmier1985 Honestly, I’ve never used metaballs. Not once lol. Though I have seen some sculpting addons use metaballs for boolean-type mesh generation. I wouldn’t call it a replacement for sculpting by any means, but it has some interesting uses. This video is the most unique metaball application I’ve seen. Still kind of a novelty feature imo.

One benefit of switching to 2.8 so soon is being able to get really excited when functions I miss are re-added.  I’m gonna throw a party when Local View gets put back in; you’re all invited.

Great point @jakeblended! Glass half full kinda perspective 🤘

[Kent Trammell]

@nathangarduno Welcome back indeed!

[Kent Trammell]

@yukinoh1989 Live streams are once a week (every tuesday) over the next 5 weeks. In between streams, the idea is to watch the outlined pre-recorded content, work on homework, and ask questions / answer questions here in this thread.

I’ll go over the Class format early in tomorrow’s stream.

[smurfmier1985]

@theluthier That video was great! Interesting the things he did with it, it’s nothing like what I’ve seen before. Those chicken characters were pretty funny 😂 But after seeing this I think the skin modifier or a mesh object is easier to use.

🚨🚨🚨🚨

Class is officially in session!

This means it’s *officially* the time to get busy with week 1’s curriculum: 

• Install Blender 2.8.
• Poke around and play with the interface.
• Watch the live stream tomorrow at 2pm eastern US time; or watch the recording if you can’t be there live.
• Start working on your primitives exercise.

Remember this is all outlined in detail above, in the description of this thread.

I’m so pumped to [finally] get underway!

🚨🚨🚨🚨

[smurfmier1985]

Here we go! 🚀 looking forward to the livestream and seeing everyones primitives homework, will be great to see what everyone comes up with 😄

[yukino hatake]

@theluthier if the livestream starts at 2pm , what time will it start if i live in belgium ?

[smurfmier1985]

@yukinoh1989 Hi Yukino, that’s the same time as here in the Netherlands, it will be at 8pm. On the event page the time is displayed in your own timezone, so there you can double check it 😊

[Morten Fjellheim]

Can someone tell me where i can find matcaps in 2.8?

[smurfmier1985]

@arev It’s in the shading drop-down menu in the top right corner of the viewport
