Welcome message
Hello, and welcome to Wikibooks!

Here are some tips to help you get started:
 * To learn the wiki-markup-language syntax, see Help:Editing.
 * Make sure to sign your posts and comments with four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126;
 * There is a box at the top of the edit window (if javascript is enabled on your browser) that will insert it too (looks like part of a signature). This will let others know who left it, and make it easy to reply back to you.
 * Remember to conduct any editing experiments in the sandbox (global to the system) or in a page on your own userspace.
 * Remember to use Commons project for image uploading.
 * You can tell the community something about yourself in your userpage.
 * You can get to this page by clicking the tab at the top of the page labeled with your registered username.
 * Wikibooks are open-source textbooks. (What is Wikibooks).
 * If you are a Wikipedian, see Wikibooks for Wikipedians for a primer on how things work here (it's a little different).
 * If you want to base your work here on materials from Wikipedia, please use WB:RFI.
 * If you're an instructor and plan on using Wikibooks for a class project, see Guidelines for class projects
 * Please say hello at the Reading Room with any questions or ideas.
 * Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * Help us by participating in policy and guideline creation.
 * Please take a look at Naming policy before starting a new book.
 * Remember to keep a Neutral point of view.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and have fun!

You will find more resources in Community Portal. If you have questions, visit the Study help desk, the Reading Room, IRC channel or ask me personally on my talk page. For site news, see the Bulletin board. It might be a good idea to add that page to your "watchlist" so that you can see when any new information is posted there. You can do that by clicking the tab labeled "watch" at the top of the page.

(This is not an automated message, I'll be watching during a time for any reply you make to it...)

Good luck! --Panic (talk) 06:22, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Editor
Perhaps you could apply for the editor userright at WB:RFP. This will save RC patrollers a lot of time. Regards Kayau ( talk &#124; email &#124; contribs ) 11:01, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Please participate
Hope you wouldn't mind participating on the "vote" to restore the CheckUser (CU) function (mostly used to fight vandalism) to the Wikibooks project, a minimum of 25 expressions of support is required to grant the flag to administrator Thenub314 (this will also enable admin Adrignola to get the function active again, since there is a minimum requirement of 2 active Wikibookians with the flag). In case you do agree to participate, your vote needs to be added to administrator Thenub314 request for permission. Thanks. --Panic (talk) 10:09, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Templates
Templates need to be categorized. The Blender hotkeys templates need to have on them to add them to the book's template category so that contributors looking to use them can easily find them in an alphabetical index. New pages also need BookCat added somewhere on the page if it isn't already in a template on that page resulting in a category at the bottom. Thank you. – Adrignola talk 12:05, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Blender book
Your doing great stuff on the blender book! I was starting to feel lonely Pearts (talk) 12:28, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Move to discussion page?
what you added to the main page of Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro/Sources of free 3D models seems more like a reader comment, which belongs on the discussion page. so "please" either move it to the discussion page, or rewrite it, so it's 3rd person. thks in advance Pearts (talk) 17:26, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Blender 3D: HotKeys
Thanks for fixing my mistake. Best regards,--Stepheng3 (talk) 14:43, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

2.54 screenshots
Thanks for providing the 2.54 screenshot. I worry that we may be working at cross-purposes. I'm trying to trim back the amount of material before the first model, and you're adding to it. I'm not sure there's anything to discuss, but I wanted to put it out there.

By the way, do you have any idea how soon the 2.5 line will be stable? That might affect how much effort I put into updating screenshots to 2.49b.

Best regards,--Stepheng3 (talk) 20:21, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Blender Interface New
I'm curious what your plans are for this module. Are you going to create a bunch of modules specific to the new interface? If so, how will they connect to the existing modules? Is there going to be a lot of duplication? --Stepheng3 (talk) 04:57, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Blender Memory Management
Why did you put Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Blender Memory Management in the Background unit? It's useful information, sure, but at that point in the book the reader has not yet created an object or a material, has never saved a document, has never seen an "F" button, and has never duplicated anything. Absent those experiences, memory management will seem very abstract and will make very little sense to the reader.

I want this to be a hands-on textbook, not a technical manual. One of my guiding considerations in redesigning this book is to minimize the amount of background that readers must wade through before creating their first model and rendering it. Another is to teach concepts by giving the reader an exercise that uses those concepts. The earliest place where Memory Management will be of interest to the reader would be the Quickie Material module. But I'm tempted to move it into the Broadening Horizons unit or even to the appendices.

Please reply, either here or on my talk page, and let me know your thoughts. --Stepheng3 (talk) 06:36, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Properties Window New

 * The RfD was changed to a simple merge/move of content to Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro/Buttons_Windows, action that was done before the RfD (making the proceeding unnecessary) and falling inside the BeBold rule. If you have any objection to the move please contact JamesNZ or within 7 days post a reply at Talk:Blender 3D: Noob to Pro/Properties Window New so admins become aware of the position. After the deletion of the page you could use the undelete proceedings, stating that the content is now duplicated in a new location Blender_3D:_Noob_to_Pro/Buttons_Windows to propose a reversal of the action. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 14:25, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Hey there!
Hi there Ldo! My name is David Millet and I started Blender 3D: Noob to Pro many years ago. Every once in a while I check in on it to see how it's progressing. Looks like it has come a long way! I took a look over the more recent contributors, and your name came up a lot. Who is leading this project now? What are the current goals and initiatives? Thanks so much for your time!
