seriously didn't expect this much of a response, wow.
alright i'll post more info in a later post about how the "classes" will work
tentative current topics to cover include blender modeling and animation, old blender animation, scripting of items/weapons/vehicles, and general scripting topics (data storage and exporting, objects and creating object functions, packaging and default functions, quirks about torque for the experienced coder)
with luck the lessons will be recorded; however i think text based posts and lessons are more accessible by most (with plenty of pictures ofc)
