Thursday is more awesome thanks to your podcast! Couple of questions: Where did the cloud member stats go? Are the personal projects going to be similar to https://www.shotgunsoftware.com/ ? As in - a production / pipeline tracking service? How can a commercial studio benefit of the personal projects? Thanks!
About the Private Projects: will it be a way to make your project public for everyone on the Cloud? Or you'll only can share with individual Cloud members?
I hope that Sergey is here next week: Is there a way to follow the progress of a development task, not only bugs? For example we are interested in the GPU performance regression that Sergey mentioned once.
How did you guys go about learning the shader nodes and building materials for Cycles? Do you think there will be any tutorials in the future on someone's thought process for building a node set up for a particular material?(Maybe there are some on the cloud I missed?)
If Sergei is there this week could he talk about the Pixar Hydra viewport?
@Corey Lowe: I think that Andy's Shading a Fish video could help you. It's a time lapse but it has notes that explain certain decisions of the shading/texturing.
Very nice to hear you guys chat. Also interesting that 3D work can/is still difficult even at your expert level. Kind of a relief in a way. :) Again, very enjoyable podcast.
@Steve Babb: Art never gets easier, just faster. I'm closing out my fifth year in school and animating is still hard and it will never go away.
I have an idea for a name for the best nerdy blender dress up award: The Blenerd!
Kairo's animation was done by Daniel to test the workflow and the new HQ fill patch. About the 3D cursor when drawing, Daniel uses a lock cursor add-on.
We are working in some ideas to improve grease pencil workflow and get a GP v2.0...we will keep you informed!
Awww that's awesome, yeah my drawing skills suck too, but you can always manage to get an idea across, and really it's great to see how you guys leap through those impairments, its also great material to show students who are creating shorts and feel frustrated when they cant draw pretty while making a storyboard or concept art, because it shows how you guys go about it and then they feel they can do it too. Thanks for answering and caring about the audience/users/community/fans
Kairos is a Novel, to which they did an animated Trailer =)
