!! I opened your die easy page in the blender noob to pro wikibook for deletion. The page has been rewritten as a new page for blender 2.44. If there is a reason to keep this page please discuss it. Thanks for the help TwistedWeasel (talk) 19:02, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcome back!
Hey there! It's not too often we see anyone return after being gone since 2007. I'm thrilled you're back here and preparing to contribute to the Blender 3D: Noob to Pro book again. Just a note, the Blender images have been moved to Commons and free images have to be uploaded there now. If you upload any there you'll want to add them to Category:Blender 3D screenshots with, plus any license for portions of the screenshot showing models you've made. Great to have you back. – Adrignola talk 14:47, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your greeting and thanks for the help added to my page. I will certainly be uploading images and the info about the change is going to save me some hair pulling...

Hair pulling!!

I have registered with Wikimedia Commons and confirmed my email address.

I have tried to upload a screen shot of the 3D view of a new scene in Blender 2.54 and I repeatedly get an error message in red:

If you do not provide suitable license and source information, your upload will be deleted without further notice. Thank you for your understanding.

I have provided the following template in Summary

The filename doesn't already exist, licensing is set to “Own work, all rights released (Public domain)” and category is “Blender 3D screenshots”

I'm lost, I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

 * That only appears when you don't choose a license from the drop-down list (that's for newbies only and you know what you're doing). Since you'll be indicating a license that will be visible upon saving the file as seen above, it has no risk of being deleted.  Go ahead and ignore the warning since you're including the licensing manually.  Addendum: I notice it says that even before you try to save a file, so it's just a generic scare warning that files have to be licensed.  I also altered the above code in that you can have the license below (permission field will say "see below" and the license can then take up the full screen width for a better appearance.  You can save time if you have it all ready by going to commons:Special:Upload rather than commons:Commons:Upload. – Adrignola talk 23:25, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your help.

I used commons:Special:Upload to try again (uploading NewScene3DViewBlender2.5x.png) and everything worked ... except a previous upload had worked (ignoring the red warning works — why doesn't that work in life?) and it said this file was a duplicate of initial-screen-blender-2.5x.png. Looking at this file I found it has no Summary stuff except for the licence. To try and repair this I have uploaded NewScene3DViewBlender2.5x.png with the name initial-screen-blender-2.5x.png and all the correct Summary stuff. It still shows only the licence in the Summary.

Gee this is fun! I hope you don't start climbing the walls any time soon...

Thanks again

 * If you need to correct the information, you can just click the edit button at the top at File:Initial-screen-blender-2.5x.png rather than reuploading the file again. Reuploading just updates the file itself and not the information describing it.  That information page is just like your normal wiki page that anyone can edit.  I took the liberty of correcting the information on the page for you but you should check it just to be sure. – Adrignola talk 13:47, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again, I've checked it and expanded the description a bit ... having been a sysadmin, I'm a bit cautious about which knobs I twist and buttons I press Wynnmc (talk) 13:58, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm having trouble with the editing. I have added a "Clear" command after the image showing the roof plane created which has worked with the image and the text to go with it side by side. However, if I add another "Clear" command after the bit about giving the roof some thickness, the rest of the text disappears. I am copying the "Clear" command from the original 2.4x tutorial but I haven't been able to find anything about it or the "Clr" command. Both of these commands appear in the first part of the text and with no bad results.

Thanks for any help you can offer,

 * I've made some changes. Take a look at the edit summary, diff, code, and resulting appearance to see what I did. – Adrignola talk 00:56, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I see (perhaps understand? monkey see, monkey do??) what you've done, thank you for the trouble you've taken. – Wynnmc talk 12:48, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
