   Arcane University Discord Server

   We've set up a Discord Server for easy communication between Teachers and Students:
   https://discord.gg/4bT5c36
   You don't need to be a teacher nor a student to join the AU Discord, everyone who is eager to learn or help is welcome, but please keep discussions not related to the topics of the AU in the BS Community Discord. The other rules from the BS Community Discord apply in the AU one as well.
   I will make sure that all relevant information from there will appear on the forums as well.

   Kelretu added a post in a topic Need Help Setting Up Blender to Accept .nif    4 May

   I'd advice you to use the actual releases for the blender plugin, they work for 2.78:
   https://github.com/niftools/blender_nif_plugin/releases
   Simply drop the folder in the addons folder, so that the filepath should look something like this(if you are using the Steam version):
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Blender\2.78\scripts\addons\io_scene_nif
   For the export I suggest to have a look at LordHayden's Blender Tutorial:

   Okay, so i finished the male part of the clothing with the rig working, versions for both body weights done and a gameobject. The color variants can be combined to allow for more variety. Custom boots will be made when i finish the female counterpart. ( Note that the heavy version is not shown on the screen below)

   The earth underground base is valid in some cases, it makes the stones look better integrated into the terrain, but you also limit yourself by only being able to place it on flat surfaces and on terrain with one texture.

   Kelretu added a post in a topic Arcane Univeristy overhaul    22 February

   I have to agree that most people probably aren't going to meet the standards with the first model they make, but I also fear that an attitude like "Your model won't be good enough to use it anyway." might be more discouraging. I think what would be a good way is for the teachers to decide whether or not someone starts on a province claim or something different since they know what path they want to go and if they teach enough for the model to be up to standards.
   As for Rob's suggestions, I really like them, especially the graduation part. That would be an achievement for both the teacher as well as the student. And I think rewarding them both in a way helps to have people stick around.
   One point I deem important is to promote the AU outside of DC to encourage more people to come here and learn at least more about the project. That may not be important until the AU is less messy and more people are willing to teach though.
   That being said, I'd like to take part in leading the Arcane University.

    Moving them somewhere else probably isn't a good idea since they are an important part of the AU and we want to promote especially DC since recruitment is handled mostly here.
    As towards the tutorials on beyondskyrim.org, I'm not sure what to think of them. On the one hand it promotes that site, on the other hand I thought of that site as more of an overview about Beyond Skyrim and they are not directly related. Another thing is, as it was mentioned before, DC is very cluttered and I fear putting up all the tutorials there might cause a similar result.

    I think a reason is also the visibilty of them. There are two tutorial sections, one in the AU and another one in the general modding section. They don't have subsections like "Modeling" or "Scripting" and a lot of them don't use tags.

    I think tutorials and the like should be accessible for everyone since we also profit from knowledge from people outside of BS, but like it was said the individual teaching is very specialized in most cases and only offered by few people. Therefore it would be good if it benefits the asset creation of BS directly.

    I don't know how hard it is to contact everyone who has an open claim and ask if it should stay up. It wouldn't make much sense if you put these in the archive and people have to make a new post on the bounty board containing the same information.

    As far as I'm aware the Nif Plugin for the current Blender version does not support the export of skeletons, you'd need to use Blender 2.49 for that. Or, like Hayden said, 3DS Max.

    I'm totally in favor of combining the Arcane University with the Bounty Board. People learning modelling have more of a relation to their assets when they see them integrated in the project and are probably less likely to abandon. And yes, some kind of archive for the completed bounties would be nice.
