Great tutorials! I’ve been using Blender for a couple years but it was still worth watching the series to review the basics — and to pick up on a bunch of things that I had missed when I was learning!

Keep it up —

The only difference between subscribe and comments RSS is subscribe sends you email notification if a post that you’re subscribed to gets a comment update. It’s supposed to let you control which posts you want notifications for, kind of like how it works on Blender Nation.

How is the subscribe to comments different from the Comment RSS?

If anyone notices the subscribe checkbox floating around on a page somewhere, drop a comment and let me know where you see it and what browser you’re using.

Thanks! Welcome to Blender Underground. I plan on going on until they make me stop.

So please keep going on.

Best greetings

I don’t even mind hosting them, I just need to make clear who’s they are, who’s content it is, which is why I was thinking of a submitted tutorials category or something. If linking works better for your purposes, I’m happy to do it too; I’m just glad you’re doing it either way.

My setup picks up the lip smacks too. Ewww. I try to be very conscious of it when I’m recording, but it still comes through so I end up editing it out either in Premier Pro or Audition. Audacity would work great for such a purpose.

My Blender setup is 800×600, which is tight, but it gives an absolutely non-interpolated final result. I start Blender this way: blender.exe -p 0 448 802 602. It’s kind of weird, but the 0 is sets the left side of the window and the 448 sets the bottom. This will be your vertical screen resolution minus the height of the blender window. My vertical res is 1050, minus 602, equals 448. The result is that my Blender window is top left corner of my screen. Note that the size of the window does not include the window title bar.

By the way there’s a tutorial on blender.org that helps with some of this: Making a Video Tutorial in Windows

I use 802 and 602 just to give me a borderless result when I capture. If the blender window is 800×600, sometimes you end up with a window edge a pixel or two wide.

My CamStudio region preferences are set to fixed, left 5, top 34, width 800, height 600.

About the noise, sometimes you can’t help having some. If you listen to the Blender Basics tutes, you can hear teh st00pid fan from my laptop.

One problem I have is that the text looks kind of blurry on the buttons, it is readable, but just not very sharp. What’s your screen resolution? I have a widescreen 1440×900 (16:10) and I convert to 800×500.

About the noise problem, I think it might be the AC unit in the room next to me (I’m living upstairs at my house). I think I could reduce it by lowering the recording volume of my mic and then playing back the video at a louder volume (lazy way) or extract audio and boost it in Audacity and mix it back (too hard way). But, if you just listen at about 20-25% volume I think it’s not so bad.

I redid the SGI tutorial so that the sound is perfectly synched. And I’m still waiting on Technomono.

I think what we can do is. I’ll put the tutorials on my site and you can just link to them. So that it’s a user submitted tutorial, but you are not liable for anything I do. Does that sound good?
