I seem to recall there was a fairly basic community college course in Los Angeles about a year ago. Does anybody know how that was handled? BYOLW?
Is there a way to make the demo version more functional for instruction?
(Does the instructor play "Imagine" before every class, to keep the students from feeling attached to their work?)
Community colleges want to be competitive with other institutions, and will invite instructors to make proposals. They'll even buy software sometimes, but when they have to buy three or four programs, I have to duck. I can't pitch relative merits among a half dozen programs. I would like to propose a class though (please no comments about how I couldn't animate a standing breeze).
I could create Scene files with duplicates of every character, for "roto-shadowing" and such, and with varying degrees of complexity, but morphs and animation -- have students start over every time? I am wondering if there aren't some other options?
It might be nice to have a class of subjects, er, pupils, to try out the latest version of 101 hard lessons. We aren't talking Secrets of the Masters, which I don't know any of. Just enough of the medium-advanced stuff to become a pale closet-bound nerd.
