well that's quite a blunder

Indeed

Author/illustrator James Gurney imagines a conversation with a Russian realist.

@ZachSaucier saw you left when I got in but wanted to say if you hadn't seen we gave you RO permissions again.

BTW, if anyone has a blender.se account, the 3D graphics add is under heavy down vote fire (probably loyalists). We must rally support

@GiantCowFilms ha.. so they dont want any other type of 3D questions but when you provide a solution the dont want that either.

@Darth_Vader I think the are afraid they'll get merged

I'll try to find out

I would because there needs to be a solution. At this moment, my argument still stands, Blender would be better then GD.SE for 3D questions..

there are more knowledgeable people on Blender that could answer questions better

@Darth_Vader Yea, I saw. Thanks!

It doesn't affect very much anyhow :P

@ZachSaucier just cant make you happy can we =P

does a blog site always need a search function?

I've been content the whole time

@Darth_Vader I'd say so

I'm going to be teaching a crash-course for front-end web programming starting this semester to mostly graphic design folks

I know how to front end program.. the issue is the design aesthetics

It's for people at my uni. Also going to post the relevant slides and perhaps a video to my site

helpful for the people who come/watch and can be added to my resume. I hope to see more people around uni doing things like it in the future

I've already done one-on-one mentoring/tutoring with over a hundred people on CodeMentor (paid) now, have all of my SO and GD answers, have my blog posts, and have a few talks under my belt. I feel like that's a pretty good indication of how much I want to help the community and my skill set for potential employers :P

Plus I've got this year and next at uni to do more, haha

uni?

university/college

uni is the Aussie term for it (and most other places I believe?)

I'm curious to see what you think of this community add. Design by @gandalf3, modified by me to fit the spec a bit better. meta.blender.stackexchange.com/a/887/3127

Design feedback wanted

@GiantCowFilms doesn't meet the requirements on size

@Darth_Vader That is fine see the comment

Its actually a + in my opinion

personally the lack of hands is off. I would make the document meet in between both because the blue guy cant model without a hand

Yah

I would suggest changing the colors and the design overall

O.o

I would intentionally make the logo in the center as the focal point

Turns into client The colors are the brand colors

make the document be white and the background the grep, so the document would contrast better

Trying to remember what @JohnB told me to look for in monitor. Maybe @GiantCowFilms has a suggestion though too?

send me the files and I will modify for you, and post up

@Ryan Good spectrum coverage

@Ryan design purposes, right? not gaming?

@Darth_Vader The are in our github repo

Only one they have in store unfortunately is a Samsung UHD. No Dell Ultras or LGs

@GiantCowFilms link?

github.com/GiantCowFilms/Blend-Exchange/tree/master/designFiles/…

:D

@ZachSaucier yeah for design

its the SVGs btw

yikes, psds lol

layered?

@Darth_Vader The psds? yes.. svg, I think so

This app is terrible. Should've wrote down what JohnB said before leaving

whats the size again?

440 X 500

(client mode) and don't change the fonts/colors, they are part of the branding

git totally beats drop box, with version history and all

working on it

@Ryan I believe that this is the monitor I use for design/movies and such amazon.com/Achieva-Shimian-QH270-lite-wide/dp/B009UZ78L0 though I paid less than that

For gaming I have an Acer with a higher refresh rate (not that I have time for games these days, haha)

@GiantCowFilms just a quick mockup

Hmm

Not quite confident about the grey background

But I see what you did there with the centering

should be a little lighter

also would maybe move the logo, reduce to the center so its clear

@GiantCowFilms ha I just realized I uploaded the PNG and not the JPG

?

@ZachSaucier thanks but I'm looking at 4K probably either Samsung UHD, Dell UltraSharp or LG

@Ryan I have a dell Ultra Sharp, and I like it

@Vicki Thank you

@joojaa :)

@GiantCowFilms yea was really hoping Best Buy would have one so I could see in person and compare. Only one they had in store was the Samsung UHD as far as 4ks go. It was pretty nice though and only $600. Not sure where else I could go to see the Dell Ultra in person

hi @Vicki

Offtopic. Guys, It would be interesting that the weekly challenge was on a diferent specific room. I wanted to see past events, but now they are burried in a ton of posts.

@Rafael there is a pro and con to that.. We are trying to get more activity to the ink spot and if we had another room it would have to be moderated regularly

@Ryan Heya! :)

Can't the specific posts be tagged or something? I want to see the designs :oP

@Rafael the meta post has them all. I take the time to post every single one right after

@Vicki hows your weekend going?
