Issue with Multires Baking

Question

Hi! When I try baking from multires in 2.8, I receive an error

I can see that multi-resolution modifier is still there, with the gizmo object. What am I doing wrong here? Thank you!

Hmm I can't guarantee that these source files will work out-of-the-box with 2.8. Don't worry though, we're re-recording those courses in the very near future.

In the multires modifier, do you see levels above zero for sculpt?

This is what I see when I first open it. Working with Cycles btw.

I'm new to Blender so just trying to familiarize myself with its various sides before starting my own project. Do you think it's still a good idea to go through Shading and Lighting courses as they are now? Or it's better to wait? I heard that there also will be an update on the rigging course and this (together with Lighting) is what I'm most interested at the moment. Not sure if I want to take a long break from Blender though ':D.

Ah ok, if you look at the top of the multires modifier the camera and monitor icon are disabled, meaning the modifier is disabled in the viewport and in the render. Enable both of them and baking from multires should work. Also you'll probably want to turn off the subsurf modifier below it..not sure why that's there.

I don't think you need to wait. All the concepts taught in the current lighting and shading courses are still applicable in 2.8. Some buttons are just shuffled around. But the concepts are the important thing.
