Meh..don´t think that´s gonna be a real issue, if it is I can stop it...It needs to be clear what the purpose is to have a blender & lightwave discussion sections..and that is to try and use them both together, and/ or..just discuss workflow but not in a rude way towards anyone..and that the respect for choosing to work in the either or the other is there.
How much you can talk about lightwave or blender will be a non isse, since there isn´t any restriction due to the fact I am not a company nor is this forum aimed to be a support for any of the 3D software..so it will mostly be about the respect between members and the tone in the language perhaps...but the other issues should not arise..as it often do in Lw or blender forum, since you can talk as much as you want about it.
That said..I would need to change the name of the whole forum..and also target it to blender users, but sure I need to make it clear that you do not attack neithe software with words like, screw lightwave, screw blender etc..that is a possible factor for me to ban anyone.
But currently I haven´t really posted this page officially anywhere, except a small link in some posts but without stressing on it.
Only got one more that noticed it and added himself as a member so far (lwanmtr)
And I just noticed..strange I thought the tools where there, the forum seem to not allow embedded images from other sites??..which kind of makes it not so useful, I need to check that up though, I think you posted from your own computer and not linked from a site, you can link to another site, but not with thumb embedded, and you can link to videos which also can be played directly in the forums, but not images..which I find strange, but it may be a limitation of the free version.
Have to check before I go on with more efforts on the site.
Thanks erik for checking up this site now and then..we´ll see how far I can take it and structure it ..if it´s actually gonna be a useful place.
I will also try and start a this is how you add a backgrund in Lightwave, and this is how you add a backgrun in blender, and match camera perspective, working with subdivs, adding camera target, various tools and how you go about it to set it up in the two programs, but I will make a single site for that..and that site you will not be able to comment on, but I will have the vids embedded next to eachother for easier overview..the vids will be seperate on youtube, but there I can only set up playlists ..on a site I can give better small descriptions beneath each vid.
But..I need energy and time to do all that, currently I am a bit busy also with fixing at home, looking for new jobs, and learning blender more of course.
And if you see this, You will probably not see me login or post anything on the Newtek forums for a long long time.
In principle I have made a decision to try a complete shutdown over there.
I need to try this approach in order to reduce my activity...and get time for other things.
I know that if i ever so little would go in and enter a discussion, It would be hard to stay away from using the forums.
The reasons for me to choose to not be an active part is not one, but several...
the functionality of the site..which I fell is so neglected and the maintainance, to which degree newtek uses it as feedback from their customers, which they sort of declare it´s not it´s main purpose.And I am extremely tired of how to post and share images, vimeolinks that doesnt work, unattractive gallery section without thumbs etc..and all the other stuff of their product line that I feel distracts and it doesn´t make it enjoyable, unlike the blender forums (for functionality that is)They seem to care not of that experience in the forums as they have focused on facebook.
The way users communicate with each other when it pertains development and what we can´t discuss etc, and since I am very much for the discussion on how tools can be improved and it is necessary to cross reference to other software..and unfortunately the climate over there makes it practicly pointless to continue with that.
The latest 2020 release that was a dissapointment for me..and I decided I need to focus on other software if it didn´t met up with certain implmentations.
Since I will be focusing on blender more, I need to shut that time down from the newtek forums, I will try and keep it low in blender forums as well..it´s a change of mind when it comes to how much of value I can get from Any forum by participating in it and sharing.
So..unfortunately..I am not even answering some direct questions in there..like from Ma3rk...in the thread about the vdb crashing and where my content vanished, I should perhaps mail him privately and explain...it´s nothing to do with him in anyway..just that I dare not enter the forums...when I fear for myself not being able to stay away from discussions, and I do not expect this forum either to replace my forum habits....at least not reaching the same level of activity I once had in the newtek forums.
Hopefully by reducing any forum discussion time, I could put that time to more use in terms of actual art or 3d content creation..I hope, then leave all development discussion out..only from time to time I may check out on news, but trying to even comment on any of it.
Take Care erik...and I do hope to see this bloody corona go away soon, or at least getting no stronghold thanks to vaccines etc, I´m tired of it and how it affects the economy and jobs as well.
