          @yukinoh1989 Not all of my sculpts take so long to reach recognition… a more recent one I blocked in and spent about 2 or 3 hours on, but people recognized it (even in the rough form). But I wanted to encourage people that especially on that first one, it can take a while as you get used to getting the forms right.  It definitely helps to work on the larger forms first and then work smaller and smaller details.

          Even now after I’ve gotten a little better at getting it to look right faster, I’ll often go back and forth on whether it looks right for some time before it feels right.  And sometimes, I’ll get it to look right from one angle only to have it look terrible in another, which is a part of the reason for this back and forth. That’s why it’s useful to have references not just for front and side but also a “3/4” angle (ie at an angle between front ahead and off to the side).

          I’ve even had a couple that almost looked right, but seemed off just slightly.. that once I started adding in hair (at least blocked in), it immediately started to feel recognizable to me.

            I see in homework for week 3 it says we have to submit the exercise and link it in the thread. Early in this class we were allowed to only post an image due to some problems with 2.8 and sketchfab. Is that changed or does it stil apply, do i have to submit my Melvin exercise now?

              @arev There is a way to get 2.8 files it into Sketchfab, but it’s a workaround and I found that it doesn’t always work well. 

              I think the better and easiest way would be to select your object and copy it with Ctrl+C, then paste it in a new file in 2.79 with Ctrl+V, and then save it. Then you can upload the 2.79 file with ease. Make sure all modifiers are applied (if you have any), because they won’t transfer (well). 

              If it doesn’t work for you I wouldn’t worry too much, @theluthier did change it to just pictures for a reason 😊

                @smurfmier1985 I know he changed it to pictures, but it doesnt say that iof you look at week 3 homework section. Thats why i was wondering if it had been changed….

                  @arev I can’t say it with 100% certainty, and @theluthier is out of the office today+tommorow so I don’t think he’ll be checking here until Wednesday…

                  Maybe wait and see what he says when he’s back? You can always upload it later after his answer, I’m sure he’s okay with that!

                          You know I can’t avoid peeking in on you all 👀

                          Thank you @smurfmier1985 for reminding everyone about the unconventional Wednesday stream this week. I logged on primarily to do that but you have me covered 🙇🏻

                          Indeed I’m out of the office today and tomorrow but have a little bit of internet access where I’m at. That’s to say I may be out of touch more than I’d like for a class but I’ll be stomping into the office hard on Wednesday morning – Ready to grade homework and stream with all my heart.

                          This is the last week of BC1-1808. Let’s make it COOOUNNNNT!!!

                              In regards to the sculpting brush changing on 2.8.. the build I downloaded from yesterday is still doing it somewhat, but not as frequently as it was before. One thing I’ve noticed is each group has a “hotkey” and it’s more likely to cycle through the options when you repeat the group key. So the Grab, for instance, is G and if you were to double tap G with it set to smooth, it would cycle to thumb. Every so often, in the brief playing around I just did, I would be on another tool (like snake hook or inflate) and press G. Most of the time, it was switching to grab but occasionally would switch to Thumb, but not nearly as frequently as the version I downloaded late last week.

                              One other quirk I noted, more on the shading side, was that it wasn’t letting me use the full HSV values. It would still keep it close, but wouldn’t let me use the “precise” values, either from slider or typing in the numeric values. Not quite as much of a deal breaker as the other annoyance, because it still kept the values close enough to work, just not what I’m used to expecting. (And I tested multiple color inputs, and every one has this, so it’s in the color selection itself… but figure that they’re working on things that crash right now so not too worried about it in grand scheme of things.)

                              Anyway, just thought I’d mention that since it was an issue last week with the sculpting.

                                @theluthier I found some very strange issue with JavaScript on event page. If I open past stream page on desktop, block, that contain video starting to get small. I fear that this can happen with the upcoming stream page when it’s starts.

                                Using Chrome at Windows 10. Firefox doesn’t have this issue.

                                UPD: seems to work fine during stream, but past event still has this bug
