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

[Morten Fjellheim]

Are we allowed to use any tools for the week one homework, as long as they are used in object mode?

[Kent Trammell]

@yukinoh1989 Classes are available to all active citizen members. So if you signed up today for one month only, you’d only have access to the class for about half the month. If you only want to join for one month I recommend waiting till August 6th.

Also regarding RSVP’s: They’re our only current metric for preemptively measuring the size of a class. The size of the class helps us determine A) the health of a class subject and B) RSVP’s also help me determine how many volunteer assistants I need. If we have 100 RSVP’s I know I need to find 1-2 volunteers to help.

One day we’ll have an official system in place that features registration which will make this metric more reliable.

And AMA does mean “ask me anything” which is an invitation to livestream viewers to take advantage of that time to ask questions for immediate answers.

[Kent Trammell]

@jakeblended That’s a good question. I’d like to talk about 2.8 questions/concerns in the livestreams but I could also imagine significant clutter happening here. How about you’re welcome to make a list of questions/concerns in a single post in this thread – that way I/we can reference it concisely and I’ll try to address them in a stream. I guess I’m trying to affirm you expressing your 2.8 questions without it turning into a confusing string of replies and such.

If only we had the official system in place, all of this could be organized and wide open for convo in the Q&A tab..

[Kent Trammell]

@arev Sure I don’t see anything wrong with that..though, what tools are you thinking?

[yukino hatake]

@theluthier For the RSVP should i somewhere post that i will join in or not ?
I also heard that the 2.8 will come up. some programs need to first be deleted then reinstalled .
How does this work with blender ? Do i first delete it and then install again or is it more like he update the older version ?

[Morten Fjellheim]

@theluthier I am thinking about using a latice, modifiers and a particle system.

[Kent Trammell]

@yukinoh1989 That’s the purpose of RSVP’s. if you RSVP to a live event it’s telling me that you will be joining. If you don’t RSVP it’s telling me you won’t be joining. Does that make sense?

@arev That’s a little overkill I think lol. Week 1’s assignment is really designed to just get practice creating objects and placing them by hand in the viewport. You can use snapping and SHIFT + R to repeat the last command easily/quickly, but lattices and particle systems are way beyond scope.

I can understand experienced users’ temptation to go really complex while keeping within assignment context technically, but I don’t think this is the right class for that. Rather I recommend you treat it like a simple assignment. Does that make sense?

@theluthier
That i understand but do i RSVP just by telling here i join or where i should say i join in ?

[Morten Fjellheim]

@theluthier Ok, i will keep it simple.

@theluthier Kent I was just wondering, that in January finally how I found the information that there will be a Class on GG Cookie at all?

Well concretely found that fom Wes got on 1st of January a newsletter kind of mail and that changed my CG Cookie year and boosted my skills to not expected level 😀

Basically mentioning this because frankly in the past very rarely (almost never) used to visit the Community thread on CG Cookie so the forum section, maybe it would be worth to send again something like that to the members to draw more attention

@yukinoh1989 You RSVP by going to the event page and clicking the button that says “RSVP”.  So, for the first week, click this link and it should look like this if you’re able to attend: 

[Angel Roldan]

@theluthier are you implying there is going to be an updated/revamped message board? Personally, I do find this format a bit hard to follow and utilize (it’s somewhat convoluted and not very intuitive).

@silentheart00
Thanks a lot it worked. i think i am signed up now 🙂 Look forward the the class.
Right now i am following already some courses and trying to get more comfortable with blender .
starting my first exercise now with the cube cone and uv sphere to remodel a bit using diffrent setting

[silentheart00]

@yukinoh1989 No problem!  Remember to do that for each of the weeks or any other events you want to attend, as well!  Looking forward to what you can make in the class!

[yukino hatake]

@silentheart00
I sure will 😀
And i also am curious how i will do. Are you also participating ? (not sure if there is a list where to see the persons who will join in
