Discussing the remaster

Hi,

I noticed that the last lecture from Mikey was uploaded January-February time; is he alright, I noticed in the comments his health isn’t too good but I hope he comes back; COVID has really taken people aback physically and mentally. Please keep up the good work, I’m really enjoying the course.

Kind Regards,

Joseph

Hello - I’ve been looking for course material on UV wrapping but can’t seem to find any. Is that coming?

Section 9 Fluffy Bunny 243.
Does the basic introduction at least. It is in 2.79 but the principles are the same. In 2.8+ there are seperate tabs all set up with windows for UV unwrapping, and ‘Shading’ which is where the node editor is now hidden.

Mikey is fine just working for a different set up now no longer with GameDev.

Rick did an update if somewhat out of line with a strict replacement of a section, Furry Head.

I believe I saw somewhere recently Grant Abbit is working on the next updating of a section.

Ok thanks for letting me know. It’s a shame he’s gone, but I hope the best for him.

To update you guys :slight_smile:

The older content has now been retired to the archive course this includes the outdated and broken bonus sections that were previously in the course.
Grant Abbitt has related the new section called Modular Assets to build a complete dungeon kit :slight_smile:

People missing them already.

Seems a very strange thing to remove the bits you have not yet replaced with updated versions. By the time you have got to the later lessons, you can probably get over the interface and other changes until they are properly replaced.

Or is this quietly telling people the course will not be further updated now? By removing the sections they may be watching for the update on.

Yes, I already have access to the 2.79 archived version of the course. :grinning:

Cell fracture for example just plain does not work beyond 2.79 or at least any method i can find as it used layers and refuses to work with collections.
The motion graphics can be converted from 2.79 but it was an extra that should have been in a different course.
The section was very very rarely used as well as most reverted to you tube after sculpting and never came back so its was retired as it was just bloating out the course and not being used.
The decision was made at this point to keep it in the archive but not to update the bonus sections due to the nature of the course.

Thats not to say we wont be doing a seperate course if it is wanted on VFX and MantraFlow but they would involved either myself or someone else doing a dive on the subject and thats not something i currently have the time to do.

Just looked up cell fracture and it appears to be working just fine in 2.8. Though I never got it to do what I wanted in 2.79. lol. Just watched a video where they used cell fracture in the first half then their own Khaos add on they were promoting for flames and explosive dust. Just no question or suggestion of CF not working. No layers used or needed.

I guess a lot changes quickly in Blender these days. Hard to keep up with. The video was 6 months old. Another 2 months.

If anything CF is improved.
