FreezingMoon.org Adds Tutorial Section
The Freezing Moon Foundation has been working on improving it’s website among other things since the last time they’ve been featured here on BlenderNation. Along with those improvements, a tutorials page is being developed, which has been already populated with quite a few neat tutorials mainly related to our beloved Blender and GIMP apps. Check it out and keep an eye on it for constant updates and more tutorials!
Also, if you wish to contribute tutorials yourself, feel free to contact the founder, Dread Knight (please see Freezing Moon’s Contact page for details on how to do this.)
need a http:// before the external link :P
some pretty cool tutorials though.
Good catch! I should have looked over the article more carefully. Thanks for the fix. Cheers!
I’m checking it out right now. Thanks, BlenderNation! I’ll take tutorials from anywhere. Always find something useful.
They’re using snowfall effects on the main page. While they have good tutorials they need to remove that if they want to be taken seriously. That’s extremely annoying to look at while browsing the site.
I just keep on getting a “Domain unregistered” notification when I go to the site – can’t see any tuts
Ok, it seems to only do it in Google Chrome
Nope, same problem in Firefox – only slower to respond (Sorry for the spams, but my “Click to Edit” my replies has never worked.)
I just see black boxes where the video should be.
I also agree with ‘K’ on the snowfall.
@FloridaJo can you share a screenie please? Feel free to email it to me.
Maybe some Adblocker is causing issues, just a guess.
@Unregistered that’s really odd… http://www.FreezingMoon.org try this again maybe?
Feel free to email me a screenshot :P
Looks like it’s just an issue with Firefox 4.0b12, works fine on the more stable Firefox 3.6.
@FloridaJo oh, good
@K we’ll get to it soon… will probably have the snow by default since it’s part of the theme, but we’ll make a nice button that will turn it off.
@Dread Knight: I tried that previously – same thing
@FloridaJo: I am also using Firefox 3.6 – I even restarted now, but still have the problem
I’m running on Linux – surely it can’t be that?
I wonder if the Flash player DK is using is outdated?
My suggestion would be to do what BlenderCookie does and put it up on Vimeo and use their players.
@Unregistered I’m on linux too and I must say Linux is overall very problematic when it comes to flash.
For example, flash is pretty much useless atm with a daily chromium build as it crashes all the time (Chromium is the free Google Chrome alternative; free as in… no proprietary code in it).
@FloridaJo the videos and flash players are the ones from youtube, embedded using their standard code that’s actually an iFrame. So theoretically, if any youtube video works, then it should be all good.
Weird. YouTube works fine for me.
No No No, You are all wrong. :)
That’s not Flash problem. Just an image in his site are all host free at http://www.Imageshack.us and link back to their site http://www.freezingmoon.org. what happen is recently Imageshack just force every web using service to register their domain or else all the image will showing “Domain unregistered” with little frog icon.
This is not problem about our browser at all. Owner of website must go to Imageshack.us and register their web domain then all image will come back alive.
I’ve added a button to toggle the snow, it will save your preference each time you visit the site. Try not to click it over and over again, it has some issues when you do that.
Enjoy the snow free pages! :)
We’re not talking about the images. We’re talking about the video.
So I looked at the source code, and it is from youtube. For example the “techno ball in 2.5” shows be
a black box with audio if clicked, but no video. (Again, only in Firefox 4.0 beta) but if I extract the YouTube
code which is http://www.youtube.com/embed/iu5WnRnmBNo and go to that address alone, I can see the video.
so, something about the ‘iframe’ designation on the pager is not letting it work for me.
@FloridaJo a while ago, Youtube’s current default embedding code used to be called “experimental” and when I tried it, it used to have issues for me as well. I never heard anyone with those issues before, so it might either be Firefox’s 4.0 beta fault or Google’s xD
Some of the tutorials videos are from Vimeo btw…
@FloridaJo: I was talking about the froggie images.
That’s all I see… I can’t seem to use the site.
@MastePrim I’m somewhat confused about what you’re saying… I uploaded the images using my ImageShack account; I don’t know about any way to register web domain with ImageShack or so and me and everybody else I know that checked the site seen the images just fine….
