Hello all!<br>I see this list as being mostly dead because we have no goals other<br>than to help people learn blender. I think the big question is how can<br>this list help us to do that?<br><br>So like all good parties it would be good to know who is here and what<br>they would like to get out of this list.<br><br>Who are you?<br><br>What do you want to see here?<br><br>What do you do with Blender?<br><br>Douglas E Knapp age 45. Massage and TCM doctor. I do blender as my<br>hobby and I like to help new people lean how to use the program. I<br>used to be a programmer and worked with young kids writing educational<br>games. Started back on the C64. I now write in C, C++ but more and<br>more only in Python. I also really like to use Panda3d as my game<br>engine but have been thinking about switching the BGE. I post most of<br>my stuff on Youtube under XOMAGICK.<br><br>http://www.youtube.com/user/xomagick?feature=mhee<br><br>I am currently working on
a MMORPG in Panda3d and Blender. It works<br>and by massive I am thinking 100 players. They are not as hard to make<br>as other wold have you think. It is really just a lot of blender work<br>that gets you! They make great class projects.<br><br>Current dream project. Do a midsummer nights dream in Blender!!!<br>(anyone want to help??) :-)<br><br>I think this would also be a great place to come to ask questions<br>about using blender. Sort of an advance teachers place to ask about<br>how things work. Not how do I move an object but questions like I have<br>right now. I want to a video tutorial about the new camera tracking<br>feature. Problem is that I can't get that bugger to work!! It is<br>driving me nuts. I pick a point in my film and it looses track of it<br>10 frames later. Stuff like that.<br><br>In a way I see this as part of the documentation project. We teach<br>people and write tutorials and answer questions on IRC. This list is a<br>place
where we can come together and teach each other that hard bits!<br><br>-- <br>Douglas E Knapp<br><br>Creative Commons Film Group, Helping people make open source movies<br>with open source software!<br>http://douglas.bespin.org/CommonsFilmGroup/phpBB3/index.php<br><br>Massage in Gelsenkirchen-Buer:<br>http://douglas.bespin.org/tcm/ztab1.htm<br>Please link to me and trade links with me!<br><br>Open Source Sci-Fi mmoRPG Game project.<br>http://sf-journey-creations.wikispot.org/Front_Page<br>http://code.google.com/p/perspectiveproject/<br>_______________________________________________<br>Bf-education mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Bf-education@blender.org" href="mailto:Bf-education@blender.org">Bf-education@blender.org</a><br>http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-education<br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
