How to Make a Sprite Dance in Scratch w/ Mr Keir
Sir I am a teacher and wanted to learn scratch I don't know the basics of Scratch. Please guide me about that programming.
So useful! Thank you!
Thanks, need a way to fillet edges, this way will be much easier
Nice but that face is scary
It's not my best work, but hopefully, you get the idea of the code 😆
@@schooltechhq it did work but the face is scary xd
slay
where can I find the settings?
In the bottom right of the screen.
Thank you so much, your video helped me a lot!@@schooltechhq
mine didnt work :(
I'm sorry to hear it didn't work. Without seeing your code, I can't help much. If you followed every step exactly, it should work. I hope you can get it working soon 🤞
Thank you, very well done and easy to follow
wow
It would be less disturbing if you stop moving the mouse around so rapidly while you are talking.
Your students are very lucky, you have a great teaching style
great job bro tomorrow is my practical exam and today i was in tension but this video made me happy😊😊
Why not use the mirror function after you8 got the first one set?
Hey, the aim of the video was to show ways of creating a curved edge with as little new features as possible. Adding multiple new tools can make things more complex than simple, especially for young learners. 🙂 There are other ways that were not covered and will be covered at a later date.
@@schooltechhq Okay, Thank you
Hi
Hi Mr keir from zakaria
Hi Mr keir from Margie
Thank you for sharing!
My pleasure!
Can I use my local fonts?
If you have the ttf file for your fonts, then it should be possible to add it 👍
Wow! That is great!
Perfect, I was working on something and got very annoyed at the limited options. Super helpful
Glad it helped!
Very Helpful. Been wondering how to add new fonts and where to get them.
I'm glad this has been helpful. 😁
Even better: Search for the shape "MetaFillet". Make it a cutout shape and add it to your corner(s) 🙏😊
Method one is very unintuitive and complex. Also, use the align tool instead of cursor keys to align objects.
Thank you for your comment. 😀 This is why I shared more than one method. These two methods are the most commonly used, especially with young learners (8+ years). The use of cursor keys is just to show an alternative way, especially for children, which might be easier for them instead of the extra step of using the align tool which, from experience, means more work for the teacher to have to fix when the objects go in all sorts of funny directions 😆
Nice tip.
Thanks to tinkercad, all 3D printing sites are littered with terrible looking boxy designs that are also fragile. It is fragile because with fillets you can reduce many stress lines, improving part strength by 200-300%. Most of them are simple mounts but because of the bad design they don't even survive the mounting process.
Meta fillet in the shapes. You can adjust the radius and length. Way easier than building fillets
Thanks for sharing your advice 😊
Could you please be a bit more detailed how to do this?
@@hansharbeck2424 yes. There is a search tab on the right for the shapes as a whole. Click on it and type in MetaFillet. That shape is essentially what he created. It’s fully adjustable. I put it in my favorites immediately because I use it on nearly every single build.
I also made a watch with it
A great project! 😁
You could already do that but it was harder
Even more reason to be excited about this update! 😀 Now, everyone can easily add as many GIFs to their slides as they want without even leaving the page/slides. 😊
We had a class on these so cool
They are very cool 😎
You thumbnail’s are very reminiscent of another channel are you affiliated ?
Hi there, teslar1. I'm not affiliated with any other channel. I'd be interested to know what channel the thumbnails remind you of? I have made these thumbnails without even looking at anyone else's. Great minds think alike, I guess. 😁
@@schooltechhq I was reminded of this guys channel th-cam.com/video/uCeGzk3ywcs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=aKGGn9aneWZM6PtV
Is there any way to round the top face of complex shapes eg ring, star, snowflake, letters?
Unfortunately, the way to round the top face of complex objects is the same, using either method. It will just take more time to do. An alternative method would be to download Autodesk's Fusion 360 and make a free account, there you can easily round edges by importing your design.
Ran into this issue today. I just used the quarter intersection of the box and cylinder. Saved it as my shape option. Now I have both a fillet and a radius option.
Saving the shape is a great idea for saving time.
promo sm 😍
How about using "MetaFillet"? Select Shape Generators. Choose "All" and then more shapes button about 11 times. Look for the blue MetaFillet. You can mark it as a favorite to access it quicker next time.
Thank you for sharing this piece of advice. I love learning new ways of doing things that will make things easier for others, and I'm glad you brought this to my attention. 👍
I'm ZDP189. I find using grid snap and nudge less accurate than parameters, align and %scale. Also I use hole rather than transparent. Also, the best number of sides is usually not just max but usually a number divisible by 4 that is appropriate to the resolution of your print or model.
Hi ZDP189. Thank you for your comment and insight. I find that when teaching young children, grid snap is the easiest thing for them to learn. I appreciate there are other ways of doing this. With the second method you will notice that I used hole instead of transparent because instead of adding to the object (reason for transparent in the first method) I am taking away from the object. It's less steps for learners (especially children) to have to switch from solid to hole to solid again for adding to an object. 😊
bruh
Yeah i was playing with this for a hour after they suggested it lol
It's lots of fun and saves a lot of time 😁
How can I use cruise to put a bevel on two surfaces the neither on a 90 deg.
The cruise function is primarily for attaching 2 surfaces together, mainly onto a flat surface. There are ways to create a bevel, but it can be tricky. Check out one of the latest videos posted on this channel a couple of weeks ago explaining 2 methods for this.
Are you kidding me? I never knew about this. That will save me so much time. Thank you.
Hope this makes things easier when you are designing. 😃
When will Tinkercad have a “fillet” function? And I’m not talking about a “work around” to get that effect, I’m talking about the real thing. That would be awesome.
Agreed, it would be a great tool to have. Only Tinkercad knows, they are always updated their tools so it could be coming, we'll have to wait and see.
having to resize the object to get the right points instead of just letting us align by centers of all faces or edges is really dumb...
Maybe that is something that might be added in the future 🤞
Merci pour cette vidéo et bon courage pour la suite de vos vidéos, Passez une bonne journée,
Merci!
