Suggestions for new courses

[William Miller]

I want a female character modeling course to complement the male one as well; just make sure there isn’t any nudity.

I would also really like a course about drawing your own blueprints.

do they even see these replies?

@alientro If you by ‘they’ mean the instructors / cg cookie crew, then the answer is yes they do 😁

[Jonathan Gonzalez]

@alientro Yes we do. I was the one that pinned this thread. I’m probably the only active instructor in this thread but it’s not to say the other instructors are not aware.

that would indeed be helpfull. Would love to see this too. i also wonder how to make good 3D reference images

[smurfmier1985]

I think it would be helpful to do a course about the differences between 2.79 and 2. 8 (when the official version comes out), because there are plenty. And I think beginners will be pretty confused about stuff that’s missing, stuff that’s in a different place, hot keys that are changed, etc. I know I am! I imagine it will take you guys a pretty long time to update all the courses so perhaps a short ‘watch this first’ course on this will be a good start.

Also, when 2.8 comes out I would like a rendering course for eevee 🙂 and maybe something about when best  to use eevee and when best to use cycles.

request : how to draw reference images of character for 3d modeling

[yukino hatake]

Hello. i am not sure if this could be turned into a course. Or perhaps this is already here but maybe i didnt noticed it yet.
But i would like to see a course how to determinate if youre a beginner,advanced or more like a master to (modeling etc)
Or how to keep improving and know where to improve.
What i also would love to see is a course about how to make reference images for 3D modeling like mentioned before .
That indeed might be a nice idea . If you have a character design and you want to model it, so it could be later animated etc, how to get a correct character reference.

@yukinoh1989 I think the best way to find out is to try to complete a few courses of different difficulty.  If you can consistently complete beginner courses but have trouble with intermediate courses, you are a beginner.  If you can consistently complete intermediate courses but have trouble with advanced courses, you are intermediate, etc.

@williamatics
That is indeed true . Didnt tought about that :p
As for this moment i first am trying someting out and then i continue other courses 🙂

[Jonathan Gonzalez]

@yukinoh1989 Probably not something that can be made into a course as it’s very subjective, but it does make me think that we could have an in-depth test for each area that could determine what your skill level is. After that is done we can then cater a set of courses based off how well you did. That’s probably a combination of something we’d have to build into the site and also working with the instructors but it does sound like a great thing to add into the site in the future.

With 2.8 having a release date now of Oct 20th. Id like to see some older courses/tutorials which use previous versions of Blender, updated. Particularly the sci-fi helmet tutorial which is using Blender 2.72.
