Blender Underground operative DukeProtocol has posted a video tutorial at his web site: dukeprotocol.blogspot.com. Duke has been Blender Underground’s most active user and has offered much feedback as well as ideas and advice…
DukeProtocol writes on his blog:
“This is my first video tutorial. I’ve been planning to do it for over a month now, but had never done it until I ordered my new headset a week ago. Now it is all done. It is about 8 mins long and provides you with very easy instructions on how to create an SGI logo. Comments and results would be greatly appreciated :)”
Big props to DukeProtocol for jumping in and providing the Blender community with a fine tutorial, and for being a part of the Blender Underground. Please drop by his blog and give him support and feedback on his first Blender tutorial. Even better, go through the tutorial and post your results at his blog.

Nice one, Duke. I’m on my way to your blog to have a look right now.

It wouldn’t let me comment on there. Unless you have to moderate comments first. Let me know. Cheers, DaveC.

Yeah, I did have moderate comments on, I haven’t used Blogger before, so I thought it had a different function. I published the pending comments and turned it off.
I also posted about the audio problem here (link), and I’ll try to fix it soon.
Also, did you watch it in regular or full screen mode? In the Viewing Tips post it says that to view 800×500 online you have to watch in Full Screen.

I watched it in regular, which was actually good enough quality. When I read that it could be viewed in higher quality, I thought that was quite excellent. Kudos to you for making all this effort.

Also, since the SGI tutorial is being problematic, you can watch another tutorial I made recently. Because GIMP came in 2nd place for tutorials and it is a niche area for video tutorial, I wanted to go ahead and make one.

Duke,
It was nicely done but went way too fast for me. I’m an old codger so nice and slow is the way I prefer it. The low audio adds to the problem making it seem as if you are going at warp 10. I was constantly rewinding saying, “What?” which detracts from the overall performance.
All-in-all it was a nice presentation. Don’t take anything I said above to heart. That’s just my opinion and you know what they say about opinions.

I’ve fixed the audio problem. Watch again please, and tell me if it’s still too hard to understand, in which case I might remake the tutorial at a slower pace.

Loads better Duke. Still a little too fast for me but don’t change it because I’m a bit thick! You don’t want to dumb it down just for me. I need way more practice before I get to the level this tutorial is at (simple as you may think it is). I didn’t start using Blender until a short time before I ran across Apollos tutorials, so I’m real new to it (that and the fact that I have a crooked eye). As I said, don’t read too much into what I say…

No offence, Duke, but your voice isn’t as clear as Apollon’s. So as a non-native-english-speaker (or listener) I had kinda hard time getting what you say. Good tut otherwise, the technique you used seemed pretty good and new to me.
August 15th, 2007 at 1:16 pm
The tut is pretty good, after following it through I deleted and started over. That’s how I learn.. I then found a more efficient way to create the model for me. Meaning I took what I learned and applied it in a way that made more sence to me.
I would recommend the tut to others since it is easy to follow and offers a great outcome!

That’s great to hear. How did you improve the method, if I may ask?
