I would like to conduct a Blender 3D Workshop at Hackerspace. I want people
to get a feel of this awesome (and feature complete) open source project.
More importantly I would like to provide leads to many relevant subjects,
so that the learning path afterwards can be smoother. For interested
parties; there will be a long learning path after the workshop. No one can
teach 3D Animation in a couple of hours, typically professionals get a 2 or
3 year education.
The workshop will consist of 3 parts; 3D animation concepts, introduction
to Blender and a small hand-on project. Each part is roughly 2 hour long so
the whole thing would take approximately 7 hours to complete.
I dont have certificates to give. They would be worthless anyway. Before
the fate hurled me into an entirely different career I used to work as a 3D
Studio Max instructor back in Turkey. Students were mostly Architects and
Civil Engineers. Being professionals they tended to not care too much about
the theory and just wanted me to show them which button to click. The
biggest challenge was to provide as much essentials as possible without
being too boring. After that, its a matter or practice.
Lets keep the attendees limited to 8 people. I ask everyone who would like
to join this workshop to donate Hackerspace S$80 (S$40 for HS members). The
deal is I will provide a professional grade workshop, and for spiritual
reasons I dont do it for free. However all the proceeds will go to
Hackerspace.
Let me know if any of you would like to attend please. Also is Hackerspace
OK with this?
I'd be interested but not sure if I can schedule my time in SG to overlap
with several sessions. Do you intend to run this over multiple days or make
it a marathon workshop? I expect to be back near the end of the month FWIW.

I think it's best to do it in one day. Ideally some Saturday, so you can go
ahead and play with it on Sunday. Perhaps we can consider 8th of September.
> You also don't have to give everything to Hackerspace, most workshops
give 20-50%.
Sure. But I don't want money and at the same time I don't want this to be
free. So 100% works best for me.

A few of us use that site to manage sign-ups for courses held at
HackerspaceSG.
For booking the facility (HSG), do drop an email to Justin Lee (
justin...@hackerspace.sg). He's the gatekeeper for adding events on the HSG
calendar. If you are not a member, you will need a HSG member to host your
event (a number of guys here who would volunteer to do so).

Heh, if you tell me what the issues are in an off-list email I'll forward it to the guy in charge. He seems to be away in the valley, but I'm sure his locally-based developer would love the feedback.
Same goes for those who signup, if you see issues I'm happy to forward them.

took me a couple of minutes to figure out that "Watch" == "Register
for the class"
Watch != Register, there's this thing where people can create "trial" classes in case they aren't sure of attendance, and "Watch" just means that you'll receive notifications on changes to the class.
Unfortunately when he converts it to an actual class, all the watchers will be merely notified that they need to re-register and will still have to go on and click "Attend". I don't know if this is a good or bad thing but feedback I'm hearing is that it's confusing (same thing happened with Arduino & Tangikit).
Atamert you may want to "convert" this to a proper class now to avoid confusion.

September 7th is my son's birthday so will either have to leave the last
flight that evening from BKK or (more likely) take the first flight the
next morning. Hope I can get to the Hackerspace by 11a.

Thanks for the great opportunity Atamert, I hope you can conduct another
workshop on a later date.

Who's hosting? If it's Ivan he'll have to notify eve...@hackerspace.sg.
If you're a new member and are hosting, you'll need to verify the slot is free on the hackerspace.sg/calendar, then book it at events. There are also other responsibilities for keeping the place up and all that:
It's very important that the host is clearly identified, at least in the event booking. In case guests show up early or there is some unforeseen circumstance, the people in the space will know who to call so that they are not unnecessarily inconvenienced dealing with an event they may know nothing about.
Has the date been settled? I need to start making travel arrangements. FWIW
the 7th is my son's bday so I will have to fly early morning on the 8th to
make the event at 11a. Should be able to but if you wanna reschedule I'm ok
with it.
