So I'd be interested in feedback and collaboration on my tutorials. I<br>
have a few up online at<br>
<a href="https://youtu.be/ltYU968KtHc?list=PLRjMVdQC-k0451QnOfRhb_PCZ7D48z4nL" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/ltYU968KtHc?list=PLRjMVdQC-k0451QnOfRhb_PCZ7D48z4nL</a> for<br>
anyone who wants to see. Let me know what you think. I'd like to trim<br>
these down to just about 5 minutes, but haven't had time to work on them<br>
recently.<br>
<br>
When I teach, I generally lead off with the first two topics, then move<br>
into either animation (03) or modelling (04) depending on what activity<br>
the students will do. If we are doing 3D printing I head to 04. If we<br>
are doing CGI I do 03. Right now I am working on a set of videos that<br>
will let the kids do CGI so they can "throw fireballs". We're tracking<br>
hands and using the particle system to create the "magic fire".<br>

too complex even for the high school students. I went to school for computer animation, so I can usually get by with the small stuff, but it would be great to have access to chunked lessons that I can have my student's review.<br>
