Online Zbrush class test run?

stoofoo

Hey homies. I just finished my first session of my Zbrush class at futurepoly and I've been talking with jason about the potential to do an online learning setup. If I were to do a test run on saturday would anyone be interested in a little free tutelage at the expense of a little help working out the kinks. I just wanna see how realistic it is for me to try and do a class in this form factor.

What say you, kids? Let's do fun stuff!

ebagg

What time would it be?

stoofoo

probably 2-?? dont know how long it will be as it's not quite the same as a classroom setting.

Zipfinator

If I've barely ever used Zbrush would it be practical or are you looking for people with at least a little bit of experience?

stoofoo

Clueless would be just fine. It will mostly just be a crash course. I want to see how the interaction works etc. Sort of evaluating it as a single day seminar scenario or potential for it to be a proper weekly class.

Calabi

I'm interested.

IEatApples

I'd be interested, been using Z-Brush for a little while now but it's always nice to pick up new points. You'd need to give me the time GMT style though!

Zipfinator

I'd be interested then.

stoofoo

I think that'd be like 10pm? It's +8 i believe.

Noia

I'm in!

PoPcorn

I'd be more than interested.

divi

love your videos, so fuck yeah!

if it's +8 then yeah, if its -8 then noes

Progg

Id watch

bounchfx

Hell yes! just say when/how and I am there.

so sad that I'm not out there with you guys to do the actual classroom one.

Jeremy Lindstrom

im in too

ZacD

I'd watch

IEatApples

Is it wrong that I'm getting slightly excited about this now? Ill crawl back to the depths of my lair if this doesn't go ahead.

I love testing out formats for things! I'd be up for it.

robioto

I'd watch/participate also. Are you doing a thing like Animation Mentor where you have a video conference style class or is this more like a televised lecture? Anyway it sounds cool whatever the format is and I'd like to check it out and offer feedback if you're interested.

OrganizedChaos

Sounds pretty interesting- I guess I'll wait and see for more details before I can say whether or not I can do it

PhattyEwok

Free Education!?!?!? Sure I'm in..

DrunkShaman

If you ever plan on moving your schedule to Wednesday or Thursday, count me in..:)

illadam

I'm down, hell I'll bring the beer

stoofoo

When/if I turn it into a class format, I have no idea what night I'll do it. It wouldn't really matter as I could do it from whereever. At that point it would not be free, though. Saturday is just to test the waters and see what the best way to do it is. THATS WHY YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HELP ME OK? Love you bunches.

Spark

Sounds like a fun thing to do on a Saturday night! I will definitely try and make it to this, as I always love learning more about Zbrush.

Spark

Jesse Moody

i'm down to learn more as always. Count me in.!!!

ceebee

I'd be down for this. Keep us updated

Krypteia

I'm game, possibly, as well. Just let me know.

Definitely coming in on the pretty much clueless side though. :-)

Funky Bunnies

oh snap!
For definitely, I'm always down for learning more!

MattQ86

Yes! I've been in a bit of a rut as of late with Zbrush, this could be just the thing I need.

vcool

If I find the time I'll chime in for fun as well. I'm sure my workflow could be streamlined and I could probably use a larger variety of brushes than Move/Standard (which is pretty much the only thing I use.)

I'm thinking those who tune in and help you figure out "the best way to do it" should get a discount for your paid classes down the road.

:thumbup:

willy-wilson

im in! for sure. i need me some zbrush learning.

ScoobyDoofus

I'd like it a lot better if it were on some other day, as I'll be on an airplane at that time.
Good luck tho!

Autocon

I would love to be in this. Heard some really cool things about futurepoly from some people who were taking a class or two there. would be great to get peak at what its like crunch time and all makes impossible to take any classes atm : /

PolyHertz

I'm down for it, have never done an online class before, and who can refuse the low low price of free

Jeremy-S

I'm in. As long as you don't call me "homey" And if I can keep that time clear of course...

Mark Dygert

Anything for a fellow polycounter. At some point I'm going to get my butt over there and take a few classes. I can't pass up a free taste

Michael Knubben

Depending on work, I might make it. What timezone are you in?

AtlusZMH

I'd be down for this

FREE EDUCATION? Hells yeah

Get your education talk outta herreeeee. We don't likez to learn.

Mark Dygert

Pacific, so GMT-8 I think?

stoofoo

It's my intention to do just basicccccc zbrush run through. Maybe sculpt a bit and answer questions. This will be less useful to you big kids who use ZB to pay your bills. I'm lookin' at you, Spark. We will see how it goes, though. I've no idea what it will be like talking to a computer alone in a room with a bunch of you yipping at me.

Junkie: None of that stuff is in my hands. We will see how this all goes and if I even decide to do a proper class before I entertain discounts.

Em.

Depending on time and whatnot, sure, I'd show.

Spark

Hahah Stoofoo, I can always learn something new, plus you and I can possibly trade some secrets:) But really just wanting to see if I can help, and trying to work my schedule around this to participate, as I would love polycount to do get togethers like this more often!

Spark. Great Idea. I think if we could start scheduling this stuff in the future with various people it would really help our community stand out and help us learn new stuff.

Good Idea boys.

Mark Dygert

holy crap thats a great idea!

Maybe we could start using the forum calendar for more than just birthdays? Maybe even tweet the events before they start?
