Suggestions for new courses

REQUEST: Substance suite of applications to Blender and vice versa workflow course. 

[John Sanderson]

This is more of a site suggestion. I noticed we have added questions to the forum. I can understand why as they were tucked away in the various lectures and probably not benefitting from community input as much as they could. However, they are now kind of overwhelming the forum, which I think has killed some of the community vibe that used to be there. I think an elegant solution would be to change how the filters work. Instead of choosing a single filter, have them be a series of tick boxes that users can check and uncheck. That way we can filter combinations and exceptions. This could also help for things like classes when those are going on. People not involved can simply uncheck that box and still see everything else. I’m not into webdev so I don’t know how simple that would be, but it seems simple enough in my head and I think it would greatly enhance the forum utility.

Well, I’ve got a bit on the site too:

I read most of the questions in topics, including old ones, not only to help beginners, but also for interesting answers with useful information. In my opinion, the mechanics of questions/tabs are now implemented not in the most successful way. You need to click on the question, then click on the answers, then just start reading (the video to which the question relates with will remain outside the answer page). It is very cumbersome. I would like to see open questions with answers within one page: you click on a question – it opens with all answers and the comment form. Would not that be much more convenient?

More shaders and nodes. Vector math.

Low-poly modelling and rigging. – For people with less advanced PCs or for assets in MMO environments.

Isometric rooms.

Simpler objects, like bottles, cans, lamps, I feel like there is a slight lack of easier material. Maybe course on a small set of props that could be used over and over.

How to LOD your model.

Texture drawing – Like making wood, rock, seamless textures in Photoshop or Gimp, making normal and specular versions of them, (understandable if you’re not looking to cover this.)

Have a look at this:

Request: I would like an updated course on all things nodes.  There are new node editions, procedural materials, animation nodes. So many things to learn. I’m slowly grasping them but I tend to need to know when, why, how, where.  Once I know that, it all starts turning on the light bulb I call a brain.

modelling a low poly scene and vehicles 

[Michael Gladkey]

a full course for high details character polygonal modelling without having to sculpt would be great

I have an idea for a collaboration. that would include modeling, illustration, animation, story telling  etc. If instructors are interested let me know.  and I’ll shoot you a message explaining further.

I would LOVE to have an updated course on character creation. More so how to create skin, the shaders for it etc.

A course on how to sell 3D models online.  There’s people out there who know how to use Blender, but aren’t making many sales with their 3D models. A course that would help with that.
