Showcasing our process!

@NessIllustration There still might be a way to listen- I don't have a mic, but was able to hear the sound. I was on a PC .desktop. Have you looked in the audio settings on the app? There's an option to test your speakers. See if the test works for you.

This was super fun, thanks for hosting @Braden-Hallett!

@TessaW I was clickign everywhere for like 15 minutes, and did find the test for the speakers eventually. But no dice: my speakers were working fine so it wasn't that
You might have a mic that you don't even know you have. Sometimes they are integrated in a webcam or even a monitor.

TessaW

@NessIllustration That sucks! I guess I could have a mic somewhere, but I have no idea where that could be. I don't have webcam, nothing on my monitor, none on my headphones. No mic detected on any applications that use a mic on my computer.

Do you have the app downloaded or were you using a browser? If you were using a browser, which one? Looking at the zoom site, if you are using zoom in Safari or Firefox, you can only join audio if you are an attendee. Did Braden add us as panelists or as attendees? If he added us as panelists and if you were using zoom on Safari or Firefox, could this be the problem?

@Braden-Hallett - Did you let us join as panelists or attendees?

@TessaW I'm not... sure? I went to the link and a download started. It opened up this window with Braden's presentation. I don't think it was the whole app though, probably just the meeting itself.
LOL this discussion is highlighting my tech limitations haha

I wasn't able to watch it, how is the video going to be distributed? I'd love to watch.

It was a meeting, not a webinar, so I think everyone was just 'participants' or somesuch.

Here's a dropbox link for the texture, palette, and thumbnail templates

Youtube is taking forever to process the video, so I'll post that later.

I'll start a facebook group for scheduling the next few showcases and post that later as well.

Here's a facebook group for the next showcases! Seems easier to schedule things with get-togethers on facebook as opposed to threads on the forum

https://www.facebook.com/groups/226573271732680/

I've gone back to the original thread to see who was initially interested in showcasing. I'll send a PM a day until someone gets back to me on whether they can or can't.

I'm gonna say 1 PM PST on Saturday's will generally be the meeting time, but the person showcasing may change that to another time (since, you know, they're the one that kinda should have an easier time to accommodate )

@Braden-Hallett thank you again

braden H

@Coley You're welcome! It was so much fun

TessaW

@NessIllustration Ok, from the clues provided, my best guess is that since we were all participants in a meeting as opposed to attendees in a webinar, audio didn't work for you because you were using Firefox or Safari. On the zoom help center it says:

**Joining computer audio on Firefox and Safari is only available for webinar attendees.

@TessaW Oh! I hadn't thought of my browser, but I'm actually using Opera and I know sometimes that causes issues because it's a less commonly used browser.

Thank you @Braden-Hallett - I’m really looking forward to watching your recording. I feel similarly “clueless about digital art” @Coley so it’ll be great to get some pointers. However, your digital art looks amazing to me!

Coley

@Lorna-H thanks I don't have a process yet, I guess it will happen eventually!

MattBaker

Hey @Braden-Hallett , not that you haven't done enough already (I'm guessing you don't sleep), but would you be able to give us some pointers on how to actually run the Zoom and set it all up to show screen etc. for when it's our turn to share? Thank you in advance!

LauraA

Sorry I missed it, Braden! But I am looking forward to watching the recording!

I'll be happy to spend some time making sure everyone who wants to present is comfy with the tech in the week leading up to presentation

Here's the recording!

It very much ended up being a nice informal meeting which I really liked.

There's one or two place where there's what sounds like a massive ripping fart. I have NO idea where this came from, lol.

@Braden-Hallett Thanks for organizing this and for posting the recordings since I may not be able to see them live. Watching your process was very helpful and I have to confess that I realized when I heard your voice, I had subconsciously been imagining you to sound like one of your characters! You sounded so grown up
