Robinomicon/XenoCorp modelling symposium

[Furyofaseraph]

Hey guys,

There has been a recent request over on Dynaverse to have video tutorials posted. I have decided to take it a step further, and I now extend an invitation to you folks to join in. Every other sunday I will be hosting a live screencast and VoIP chat. During this screencast I will be running through how I make models as well as doing a Q&A session.  Worry not, if you can't make it, I will be putting recordings of the screencasts up on the web for viewing later .

So why post it here? Well, I imagine there will be people here interested in this. Tonight I'm walking through a trial with the people on dyna, but next week I will be opening it up for general public as well. For this interested, post up on this thread and I will update this post with information on how to reach the lecture.

Joining a Symposium
This week, I will be using an online client called DimDim. Bring a headset, and go to DimDim.com (you don't have to have a headset, but it helps). At 6pm EST click on Join Meeting. For the room type in "Robinomicon". For the username use your BCC sign in name so we all know who you are. Sit back and enjoy. Ask questions if you'd like, just listen and watch if you'd rather.
Next week I will be using VNC instead (turns out that DimDim lacks some features i'd like, but since I just found this out last night its a little late to change the plan).
I can have 20 people in at once with DimDim, so its first come first serve. VNC (which I will start using next week) doesn't have a hard cap.

no wonder I can't connect. I guess I missed it too.

I started at 6pm, waited until 7pm, no one came. I'll start it up again next week with proper tools and what not.

Also, more than an hours notice would be nice

Well, tonight was more intended to be a trial, not a full blown event. at the last minute I was like "heh, why not?"

[Starforce2]

yea I thought I cought your post within an hr, didn't see it there before I went for dinner, but according to the forum time stamp that was not the case. Is this a video chat as well (IE if I had a webcam?) or is it audio only? ANyways atleast ya got to test some stuff.

[Furyofaseraph]

Audio only.
Next week is going to use a different method. DimDim kinda sucks >.<

[Starforce2]

well, with a name like dimdim..what did you expect?

[Furyofaseraph]

Okay, trying again this week. 4 hours from now. Instructions on how to join can be found Here
