Two Steps forward and One Step Back









Living in No Man's Land



Learning something new is always filled with Promises 

and  a stumble or two.

Welcome to the world of  trying to Learn Something New  

And Cutting Edge,  that's not fully baked yet.



That's what it's like with learning Blender 2.8 Alpha 2.


But at least there are a number of  very good guides to

Help make the process more manageable. 


Like the site pictured above.


I know I've pointed to it before, but it's worth


Pointing to it again.  


It reminds me of what class room  learning used to be.

And now that learning tool  has been expanded to 

reach a bigger audience over the  internet.  


Week three is coming up, so don't miss out.


Wingman.




From BlenderCookie.com



In the last lesson he added a quick lesson on 



using Boolean Modifiers to  add a hole  to

the fry pan handle,  that was created earlier.

Good Stuff, in bite size chunks added to the 

hours of  work on  the main topic on discussion.

Getting to the Head of the Class in Learning Blender 2.8



A Class in  Learning Blender 2.8



================

Blender and 2.8 ALPHA

 A Class to Learn From:



Blender Mesh Modeling Basics - BC1-1808 - Week 2








----------------------------
Length: 2:05:16
----------------------------


================================



What Adding a Copper-like  MATCAP   to the Pan Model

Can do.


=================================
=================================



I started with this Class last week and it's
quite good.  There are 30 plus taking the
class and the teacher is working 


with Blender  2.8 Alpha 2

But one in  the class is using 2.79

and that's just fine too.

The  time stamp  where I stopped

watching it today. 

 It's  Roughly a 2 hour class 

every week.

Into the Land of Blender 2.8 ALPHA


From my my morning daily journal:



Into the Land of   Blender 2.8 ALPHA




 And So  It Goes....


================================
                8:15 AM 9/5/2018
================================

Blender 2.8 ALPHA  First Steps


Last Night I was able to Install Blender 2.8

on my HP Laptop after finding the executable

in the first folder of  the Windows 10 install.

I had even grabbed a newer version OpenGL 

but it didn't seem to need it. 

And the 2.8 startup

screen popped up nicely.  


Sadly my Laptop

doesn't have a 3-button mouse, 

which is a simple fix problem.
