Is it just me or is it hard to get an intelligent answer on anything via this forum.
I joined not to long ago and have posted 4 questions. Only one responder actually took the time to read my post and answer what I had asked.
Most of the others told me to try things I had already tried. This would have been clear if they had actually read through the post.
The other help I got was from so called “forum gurus”. They gave me snippets of help that weren’t complete enough for a beginner to figure out. Then when I asked for clarification, I just got ignored.
calegatter, this is very funny, because usually every new comer says this forum is great because it’s easy to find help! there is plenty of tutorial around, and many persons answer question when they are asked properly. IRC is a great place to find help too since there are always people, and one someone enter and ask a question (that is not stupid) people answer quite fast from my experience. You can join the channel #blenderchat or #blender for question about blender itself, or maybe if your question is more about programming you can join #blendercoders. ALl those channel are on the freenode server.
From what I saw of your questions, they weren’t stupid at all, but they were quite specific, and since programming is not mastered by a majority of this community, well it does happen that some questions are not answered easely…
the forum in blender3d.org is more geared toward the development of blender, you might want to try there, you should find people like ton and theeth there most of the time also if it’s a python question, that should be ask in the plug-in thread.
