Hi Douglas, That would be appreciated, and indeed a but more engaging video would be great!
I agree with the crits that often videos are not working well. What helps is to introduce a video with a clear goal description (visual with text), and short chapter/section pages inbetween. Allows scrubbing that way. -Ton- -------------------------------------------------------- Ton Roosendaal - [email protected] - www.blender.org Chairman Blender Foundation - Producer Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A - 1018AD Amsterdam - The Netherlands > On 3 Jan, 2016, at 20:26, Knapp <[email protected]> wrote: > > Ton, I made this 5 years ago and it has had almost 41,000 hits.
