Hey guys and welcome to the complete blender creator.
My name's Ben And I'm Michael.
And together we are really excited because we get to see how you change as you progressed through this
course.
You can go from zero skills to really quite a capable artist pretty quickly.
So who is going to be the main instructor on the course Smokey.
Okay so Ben's going I'm going to be your main instructor guiding through most of the changes we're going
experience in blender.
And then here he's really in the background helping support and pop into the occasional lectures.
I know we've got a couple more unity coming up as well.
So he's going to be there as support to make sure that the learning journey for you guys is great.
Absolutely so attached to this letter you've got to link over to Google slides.
That's where you want to go to get the latest section notes.
They're always going to tell you what's coming up in the video.
The details of your challenge and the several diagrams and useful features in them.
So go over there it's a fully interactive document like Nike.
Yes.
That's great and immediate feedback as well so if we spot a typo.
Do let us know and we can fix that for you.
And also attached to this particular lecture.
We have your assets.
So anything that you're going to need in this section there are attached there.
Download them now so you've got them hand on your computer.
Absolutely.
So to end this off we're going to switch into a screencast with Mikey has got a challenge for you.
Hello everybody so before we get to the challenge itself I just like to show you around a bit of the
yummy interface Now that is of course subject to change but also the community site and the Facebook
group.
If you want to join in with those as well.
So first of all if you're on the udemy interface if you wiggle the mouse when you're using it we've
got resources available on the left hand side.
We click on that.
Well let's not get the video playing.
And let's go ahead and have a look.
So we got our assets underneath here and that will be true of all the lectures up ahead.
Now at the bottom of the video you've got a browse Q and A button.
Now this is for your questions and answers relating to the video you're currently watching.
And I would strongly suggest using it for just that.
What it's not very good at is for sharing your work.
Unfortunately the Yumi interface isn't great for that.
So we've generated a community site that is.
And also we've got the Facebook group as well.
So let's disappear over to the community site here game dev dot TV and this is the front page and you
blender guys are great you know you post the most out of all of this groups.
We scroll down a little.
You'll see the course flag just here we've got blender 223 a week and in here we have all of the different
sections with all the lectures in.
Now if I quickly just jump back you will see here that there is show one more and we've got this lectures
discussions if you go ahead and click on that in any of these particular lectures that will take you
through to the appropriate place on that forum.
Of course you will have to sign up very quick and easy to do if you prefer to use Facebook then of course
come and join us over at the Facebook group.
And I'm just going to make this not fullscreen for a second.
The Facebook you are L is face madon conference that group's forward slash blender course.
Let's know you want to come on board and we'll of course let you into the group.
The game day on TV is community game dev dot TV.
That's the u r l for that and I'll put links.
They're not here at the moment.
In this particular thing but I'll make sure that there are some more resources here and a few moments
so that you can just click a link here to take to those places.
And finally talking about resources.
Now there won't be any in this particular lecture but if you get to any of the later lectures and we
have lecture project changes that's where you can find the current state that I'm working on in my lectures
you'll be able to download it and continue it as if you had what I have currently on my screen that
can be useful later on especially if you go off on your own tangent which I do suggest you do you know
exploring what the capabilities of blender are.
But occasionally you can deviate just a little bit too far from the original video and find it difficult
to continue so at any point throughout the course you can go to elektra project changes and the majority
of lectures will have my current state or end state in there so you can continue one.
Okay guys it's Challenge time.
I'd like you to go ahead and say hello.
So post a comment against this lecture.
Introduce yourself to the community.
Let us know what your goals are and ambitions are have a look at some of the other students.
Say hello to them see if they've got similar interests to yourself it's a great way to meet up with
other people who want to use Blender and have the same style as you.
Perhaps you're looking for an artist to work with.
Well this might be an absolutely wonderful opportunity to do so.
Now remember to come back here to meet new faces you will obviously have to come back to this particular
lecture and have a look over there.
And of course we've got the Facebook group as well if you want to pop over there and join that.
So pause a video now and give that a go.
Okay guys welcome back.
I hope you have said hello over in the discussions.
It is important with all of these challenges you will find most of the lectures that I give to you guys
will have a challenge either a small or a big challenge in them and it is really important that we ingrain
the habit now that you go ahead and do these challenges.
They're really important they help cement the knowledge in your mind and in this particular one it make
sure that you know how to for instance ask questions as well because it is the same interface.
So with that said Welcome to the Course guys let's carry on now and I will see you guys in the next
lecture.
