Forum:French Blender wiki

I have a friend (we live together because it was most practical that way) that is an artist. In fact, he work at night in an hospital but he always liked doing things with his hands like painting, skulpting, etc. And some years ago i've began showing him to do thoses things on a computer. We have one comp each now.

My "problem" here is that we dont find a good... we dont find any really good web site in our language (french) about that wonderfull GPL software that is Blender (http://www.blender.org/). There a some here and then but they to use too much english words and tehcnical bits that everybody are supposed to know already. There is also an official multi-language wiki (http://wiki.blender.org/) but the way they do thing is much too restrictive.

What i'm trying to do here is simply to ask if someone think that begining a french Blender wikia (i could easilly translate the existing english Blender wikia) could be a good idea.

I was about to try and put some tutorials on my own website (synaptique.ca) but, on a wiki it would go a lot faster and be very easier to maintain using templates and all. Plus, i think i could, even more easilly, find other contributors for this project that for the french GuildWars wikia (not a too good argument, i know).

That's it. Just want to get comment about this first. TulipVorlax 08:02, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

P.S.: I myself already know the software very well but i'm no artist. ;-)


 * Oops ! I wont be able to translate the english Blender wikia because it contain nothing. Duh! TulipVorlax 08:07, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey! Why not do a wiki about 3D thing in a more larger scope ? There is another free software that i know very well too. It's Wings 3D (http://www.wings3d.com/). That one is even more easy to learn and to talk about. Plus, it's french translation is far most complete than Blender's one.
 * So, this could be a french wikia about 3D graphics. Everyone that know a software could do help pages and tutorials about it. But, me, i only know Wings, Blender, MakeHuman, Daz Studio and Corel Bryce 5.
 * Waiting comments now. TulipVorlax 08:33, 21 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds like an excellent idea -- put in a request at http://requests.wikia.com and we can get it started for you! — Catherine (talk) 04:23, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh! Good! Thanks for the reply. You think i should not waste anymore time waiting for comments ? Ok. I'll do the request later tonigh because i'm "currently working" on a complete redesign of the main page of the french Guild Wars Wikia. Second time this week they didn't like my previous one. Lol.
