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

[Wilco Wilbrink]

@vortigaunt4 I hope I’m not to late, but if you haven’t figured it out yet: You could export the scene as an Alembic-file, but you could also copy and past (most times) your object from Blender 2.8 to Blender 2.79b and upload your scene from there with the sketchfab plugin.

1. Just select all objects in Blender 2.8 (I don’t know if you should select the lamp and the camera. I’ve not tried that)
2. Press CTRL-C
3. Start an Blender 2.79 (if you haven’t already)
4. Press CTRL-V, and probably the scene will copy.
5. You most likely have to add new camera’s and lights if you want to, but then again, I don’t think you need them for sketchfab.

So I want to implement this new approach. Instead of submitting your homework as replies to this thread, simply create your own thread with this title: BC1-1808 Homework, Your Name (or Username) 

@theluthier frankly I was a bit sceptical with idea, as thought this will separate our attention and the spirit might goes out from the main thread.

But it seems really working, those own homework threads are like some “Virtual Personal Class Rooms” where we can visit the individual artists and see how her/his things are going. 

I think this idea could be kept also in the new web version of the classes once, when someone joins officially to a class then such “VPCR” 😀 could be opened for the person as default. Really enjoying to visit others and comment, also good feeling when others look into my room.

Plus so coming back to this main thread, it lives on the same way so you convinced me, although presumably you will have multiplied contents to read through now 🙂

[Zsolt Cseh]

@metaversedeveloper welcome in the class, great to see your joining.

Kindly would like just mention that on Page 12 in this thread, Kent had an announcement as “Class Announcement #3: New way to submit homework!”, briefly meaning that please open a new own thread with title “BC1-1808 Homework, Your Name (or Username)” where all of your homeworks could be submitted during the class month, it is easier for him to track the grades and we others can also visit you there with comments/suggestions

Thanks for the help! Ended up making a render. Here’s my homework submission for week 1.

@vortigaunt4 Looking good! Though do note that on Page 12 of this thread we were asked to make separate threads detailing our progress and homework, so it’d be great if you could make your own thread with the titles and whatnot detailed, because then it’ll be much easier for us to track your progress.

@csehz Thank you for recording the experience level stats! Every time I see a graph in here I think, “YESSSS! What did Zsolt measure today??” Indeed it’s a healthy mix. I intend for everyone to take away some good nuggets regardless of experience.

“You are able to speak on a way that I just love Blender more than ever…its wide scale of possibilities so inspiringly, who knows when these learnt abilities will be useful on any area of the life.”

Well that’s kind of you to say. I’m glad you enjoyed the stream. I think it’s wise to step back and remember how huge scale of possibilities Blender offers us. It’s what got me into 3D and it’s what will keep me in it. Sometimes it’s easy to lose site of that amidst the plethora of technical skills. Enough rambling from me. Thanks for watching and for the stats 🙇🏻

[Kent Trammell]

@thecabbagedetective Wonderfully helpful post, Aaron. You’re a good man.

[Kent Trammell]

@nekronavt Good point, Pavel. I rarely scale in object mode non-uniformly aside from week 1 of this class and tend to forget that scaling can get funky in object mode heh. I need to figure out exactly what’s happening so I can explain it [consicely]

[Kent Trammell]

@thecabbagedetective You were right that initially I only said booleans were fine, as I recall. After I got enough questions I figured “why not – go nuts!”. Thanks for holding down the fort on this point, Aaron 💪

[Kent Trammell]

@nekronavt I respect that technique – it’s like a weld bead 🤘

[Kent Trammell]

@vortigaunt4 When you asked about issues submitting the exercises as sketchfab, I realized for the first time how contradictory my instructions have been. I asked everyone to do the ‘official’ exercise (which requires sketchfab) while also saying 2.8 .blend files don’t work with sketchfab currently so don’t submit to sketchfab.

What am I doing…lol

Also I see your homework thread in the group – Thanks for that and sorry for the confusion. I know the instructions are kinda buried in the thread.

[Kent Trammell]

Just finished catching up in this thread and peeking in at the homework submissions. Once again, LEGIT advice and help is being exchanged both in this main thread and in individual threads. Way to go team!

I’ll continue logging grades tomorrow so keep an eye on the report card doc if you’re interested. Week 2 is upon us!

[silentheart00]

@theluthier Week 2 is coming….

[Jake Korosi]

All right, got my Week 1 homework thread in.  

I’m a little concerned about a potential issue I’ve noticed, which is that all our individual homework threads have effectively pushed all other forum threads all the way back to like page 3!  I’m hoping that isn’t causing too much an inconvenience for non-class-takers using the forum.

[Kent Trammell]

@jakeblended Yeah I didn’t really think about that side effect…and it would also mean non-homework threads will remain on page 2 or 3 the rest of the month. I’ll see what Wes thinks lol
