3 Part QUESTION
I have started using Blender Cloud for the first time and watched the majority of the Blender Motion Graphics tutorials that was just released. (I had a spare 4 hours!) What I noticed was when I tried to jump forward in the video at a point I knew what he was going to do it jumped to the next webpage in the branch/tree menu.
Could it be possible to add a skip forward 5/10 seconds?
Also the video loops at the end *Could you please make it so it stops and doesn't loop back to the start as you are in blender and you miss the end it it will continue back to the start of the tutorial and carry on playing
Could you add a next video button over the top to click onto next the awesome video?
Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see Agent 327.
@strnd: yeah, for animation is great to have the looping thing, but not for tutorials.
@strnd: Thanks for the feedback! We plan to work on an interface that is more suitable for watching training videos vs. animation clips.
Please continue!
I have not heard this apisode yet but... PLEASE CONTINUE IT!
Definitely keep the podcast going! It's great to hear how things are going, and your random side stories about life in Amsterdam etc. are often very funny. If you can convince Dr Sergey and other developers to join you more often, it would be excellent.
Also, the weeklies are awesome for seeing the progress on Agent 327, but aside from the videos by Hjalti to the other animators, there is not a lot of in depth discussion about how the film is developing, so hearing you guys talking about it is really enlightening and interesting.
Your podcasts are very appreciated, and one of my favorite parts of the cloud. So yes, please continue :) Besides, you need to have a podcast with Luca discussing what his plans are for Blender sims ;)
Please continue the podcast!!. The podcasts are great and very informative and entertaining. I don't get a lot of time to use Blender but I can at least keep up with what you guys are doing by listening to the podcast on my commute. Thanks for all the work on Blender, the Cloud, and the podcasts!
Please Continue. It's always good to hear what's going on with you guys and blender progress.
Don't quit, Please continue!
I've just joined the cloud!!! Please continue!
@strnd: Thanks so much! We hope you enjoy your stay :) Go play with the files in the libraries, open projects, the Blender Cloud add-on and so much more!
Please continue!
Please Continue!
My suggestions/ideas for the podcast :
- a new intro (like if it was the Blender Institute Podcast Season 2, you know what I mean ?).
- have one person (and make turns) say a quote at the end of each episode (inspiring, motivating, funny, whatever).
@ChameleonScales: I like the idea of a new "season 2" intro! The quote part will be tough as we're approaching crunch time at the studio (lotsa pressure every day), but maybe that's motivating!
@PabloVazquez: Another idea : at the end of each episode, doing a quick shout-out/special mention to a Blender developer from around the world. Could also be an artist or even a music composer who licenses his musics under CC or similar. Plus a music excerpt in a podcast never hurts.
@PabloVazquez: Yeah it can take time to find a good one. Just to make sure : the idea was 1 per episode, not 1 per person in each episode (I mean, you can if you want). if you don't have any in the moment maybe we can propose our own in the comments.
Continue but please stop saying "hashtag PBR" all the time !
@ChameleonScales: Yeah it's getting old. All the cool guys are now using hashtag filmic
@PabloVazquez: #filmic is where its at bro
Please Continue!
please continue ;-)
