@cwebber I did the donut tutorial and found it to be a pretty good intro. What don't you like about him?

Happy Pride Month Everyone!

Since it's the first Saturday of the month, we've got a Hack & Craft today in less than an hour from 8-10 ET (technically tomorrow from 0:00 - 2:00 UTC). I hope you'll join us: https://fossandcrafts.org/hack-and-craft/

Tonight I will be working on making some lightweight and light colored long sleeve over-shirts for summer (since most sunscreens give me hives, it's easier to resort to old fashioned forms of sun protection)

@MostlyDrawing best of luck for your recovery! <3

Hack & Craft starting now! https://fossandcrafts.org/hack-and-craft/

Even better already!

Dang, what's this girl up to?

One hint is that I've kept working on my blinkenlights!

Hack & Craft! Today! From 8pm-10pm ET! https://fossandcrafts.org/hack-and-craft/

Bring a code project! Bring a crafting project!

As for me, I'll be working on something in Blender! It's a surprise of what but I'll drop some hints below! :)

I'm sure the results would be very different depending on where the poll is run. X-Twitter vs Bluesky vs Fedi are all going to give pretty significantly different responess, and so is my audience in particular.

Still, kinda astounding in some ways

Also nearly 5k people voting, dang

RE: https://social.coop/@cwebber/116698488515037678

Poll closed. Interesting results. Well, I expected "worse" to be much higher than "better" with " worse and better" being a bit higher than "better" but even given me knowing fedi pretty well, this is pretty damn stark

The best resources to learn Blender from are still the Blender manual, but that's a bit dry as most manuals are and videos are often better, and so for the rest the Blender Studio folks. Plus, you're supporting free culture works in the process! https://studio.blender.org/ has some resources free, and you can pay to get access to the rest, but they're all under CC BY, which is pretty great.

The second best are tons of shy and excited people on YouTube who want to show you a few tips.

Some of my favorites:

- Harry Blends
- Sophie Jantak
- Deduze
- Pepe School Land, especially the Grease Pencil Random Tips and Tricks series (name is unrelated to the popularity of a certain frog)

Getting started with Grease Pencil first is often a good idea, because 2d is a gentler introduction for many people, but it also eases you into many of the 3d concepts.
