    You have no Idea how comprehensive you have turned ths thing into. But here is the right way to watch this series: watch the first video without trying to understand it too much, then move to the second video and watch it slowly, in the end come back to the first and watch it slowly then it all will click. But sir I cannot stress the fact that you have masticate it to a point the the undestanding is fantastic, you have made click in my brain. I studied this through a book but I was very confused, with you is now very clear almost perfectly clear beacuse the only thing to do is to practice. you have gained an admirer my friend.

    I know I’m only echoing the same sentiment here but this IS the best tutorial around for the basics! You move at a good speed to make it not boring, there’s no filler speak “uhs” & “ums”. Once again very clear and concise not fluff speak that has NOTHING to do with the video. And you described what should be learned before the next one without confusion. Just one thing though. You said the IOR is about reflection when it should be refraction. The angle at which light travels through a transparent object right. Great stuff can’t wait to see part 2 sniff start texturing!

    Awesome ressource! I'm not a beginner with nodes and have been doing VFX for a few years now, but I often look for good tutorials to reference to others. A little correction for the W input: It's not really an animation factor. It is the seed of the texture currently displayed (default is 0 even for 3D mode). Entering integer values will always result in a totally different pattern. However transitioning with a floating point, so displaying values in steps

    Another fantastic video, B. Thank you again. You explain things in great, helpful detail. Any chance you actually have your own site where you sell classes or give access to asking you questions directly? Looking through ten thousand videos to find a one click answer is getting downright discouraging. Thanks again.

    I've been wanting this exact level of explanation to learn how to use the shading features within Blender. Thank you! I'm hoping once I learn this material in Blender it will carry over to other DCC software packages.

    Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial!! This finally broke down nodes in a way that wasn't as intimidating as it has always been for me. I highly appreciate your attention to speaking slowly, clearly, with good diction that makes the audio easy to follow, and your use of zoom to focus in on areas of the window that you're working with directly. I'm definitely subscribing for more in the future, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

    This is the most informative, educationally adept, and technically precise Blender tute I've ever seen. And I've watched, and subscribed to, and paid for a LOT. Maybe it's a learning style thing, but wow. THANK you. I maaaaay need to make a PDF version of this (including the anecdotal edits 😆).

    Most of this stuff I've learned over time on my own, but recently I decided to get more serious instead of just dabbling... I really must say, this is one of the cleanest-presented tuts I've seen in a while. Defintely an awesome place to "get back to basics" 😁
    I look forward to learning just how much I DON'T know in spite of what I THINK I know! 😅
    Also... new sub! 👍
