matte painting on irc

[nickmarshallvfx]

Well you already know im in :thumbsup:
Maybe if it got popular and we kept it professional, we would see a few pros drop in and grace the channel with their wisdom.

Yeah, I would defintiely be into it. Could be great :D

[Suirebit]

i don't use irc :( well we could improvise a chatroom...php or somthing

[Mantrastic]

for those who dont want to install IRC, its possible to make java irc that goes into that room.

Hey sounds good guys , we should really figure something out. This could be very nice. And yes keep it professional. One thing we used to do a lot in the # cgsociety channel when enough people were around was set up speed painting sessions and the like. It was very fun and helped my drawing skills a huge amount. Thou we mainly focused on anatomy we could do that kind of thing here were we find a nice landscape and you get 30 mins to try and reproduce it. Then everyone gets in and crits each others work. Tons of fun!

That sounds interesting Matan. I have irc installed but I am sure others would be interested in how to use java for this :D

Cheers

[Suirebit]

i prefer a java script from the browser...really...:)

[Matellis]

Yeah it really doesnt matter to me where we have this. IRC was just the first thing to come to mind. If anyone has a better idea for a spot im all ears :D

[Mantrastic]

Theres no better than IRC, u can use it with the real client or a browser client, so it doesnt get better than that, if u want I can set such java irc, ill need a host tho, I cant host on my servers atm.

[Matellis]

Java sounds good to me. It doesnt matter who hosts really as long as you dont go kick happy ;)

Would there be anything that I would need to get? Im no good with all this net stuff.

Cheers!

[Mantrastic]

just Java from Java.com if u dont have it installed.
and hmm whats the channel and network again? the info on the first post?
i will set something later and post here :)

[Matellis]

sounds good , yeah lets just have it #mattepainting on the irc.freenode.net server. thats where maybe other cg websites have their irc rooms so it would be fitting.

Cheers

[RQuack]

Ok, so newb at this IRC thing. So #mattepainting goes where and irc.freenode.net goes where...? :blush:

[Matellis]

Hey Ryan,

Matan is going to make up a tutorial. Do you have IRC? if not he is setting it up so you can join through your web browser.

Cheers

[RQuack]

Matt-

Sounds good, yeah I have IRC but the web browser might suit me better anyway. thanks guys for doing this. :bowdown:

[Xdreamer79]

Okay guys. I installed the java client on my art forums so you can now join via browser :) Click http://www.cgpad.org/webchat/ to get to the java applet. Once you loaded the page you have to accept the applet to gain access :)

1. You can change your nickname with typing:
./nick YOURNICK

2. To join the mattepainting channel type:
./join #mattepainting

RED MEANS: IRC command
GREEN MEANS: User input needed

Don't type the "." before the commands or they don't work

Have fun chatting peeps :)

[Mantrastic]

Well I was gonna set it on domain, but nevermind, better be on CPAD :)

[Suirebit]

sticky pls? :D
