Had a thread about rewritting tutorials, this is to keep them up to date and accessible by everybody.
What does everyone think so far, will export file as pdf later…
I realise that the forum version might be better, but if I make a magazine every 2 weeks then I can add content when I archive it, Including the gifs on the associated forum page.
Well done to TorQ in the first place.
I think this one is a very nice idea especially for new blender users looking for their first tutorial lesson aside from wiki…And may i suggest that it be grouped/categorized (eg modelling, shading, animation…etc)
I can make the modelling tutorials from other peoples comments and tutorial submissions and make every mag contain about 5-20 tutorials, but can anybody else show me to very good tutorials to rewrite or construct their own to add.
Also I need a good blender logo, google images provides some bad results…
Good effort! One thing though, it’s pretty important to note the version of Blender that each tutorial is written for. That way people won’t be so easily confused if things in Blender change between releases, and they’l’ know in the future if the tutorial is out of date or not.
most modelling tutorials out there dont depend on a specific version of blender unless their using a specific modifier from the stack which only appears in recent versions. so thats ok.
But how do compositing and rendering, gameblender, lighting, materials (nodes) change over the different revisions?
I think I should add a tutorial for each OS how to add scripts to blender as well…lol Ammusionist;You must have used publisher or some program to make the tutorial in the first place, could you possibly send that to me, so I dont have to keep cropping the pdf to take the pictures out. Thanx
It should be made into a wiki dedicated to this. That way the tutorials could be quickly updated as needed. Whenever a new version of blender comes or something. And then you wouldn’t have outdated magazines in your folders once they may become obsolete again.
