Thanks and same thing! Good to see you too

Oh hi, Beth!

Hi! How have you been?

Taking care of some RL things, working in SL, and working in my health as well. The tiredness that was chasing me 24x7 is going away... How're things for you?

Settling back down, been doing a lot of move stuff this last year.

Oh gosh... Moving... shudders I hope that's done now for a loooong time

I do too - since we actually own this house though I expect to be here a while.

AurynBeorn: I miss your programming classes. Do you still do them?

I'm taking a break. I wanted to explain the "variables" topic in detail and I got carried away into too much detail, so before killing anybody with so much abstraction, I started with Blender, (TBC)

which they also wanted to learn, making a list of the topics they wanted next, for the time we're back to scripting classes.

I think I'm with Blender since May, so a long time, why I didn't tell you about (you're a Goddess in Blender I hear )

Meaning with that, that I didn't think you'd be interested in beginners classes %-)

I kind of like taking beginner classes, because there is always something I end up missing the first go around.

AurynBeorn: Thanks for the response. Let me know if you ever do some more advanced scripting/math classes. I loved those. By the way, if you need any help with Blender, feel free to ask.

Sure I will. I will also send you the "variables" tour we did. I focused it from a set theory point of view. It was natural to me but now I don't know what I was thinking of %-)

As for asking about Blender, I may do. You know that I'm not fine with just a "this is like this because... this is like this" as an answer, and so at times I can't find answers with the (TBC)

"level of detail" (heh!) that I'd like, so if you're not worried that I may drive you crazy... I may take the offer : o) (Thanks )

AurynBeorn: I'd love to see what you wrote on variables and set theory. Like you, I like to dig deep into a subject and understand it from the base level. And yes, you will find many people that will tell

how to do something in Blender, but not "why" you do it.

I have no problem answering the "why". You need to know the "why" if you want to be able to create more advanced projects.

I know an odd why - in the sims, you would make a duplicating item once, uvmap and then finishing modeling - but if you want to bake shadows, that is so not something you want to do.
