  • Well said Dave! I've been trying to figure out a way to respond but couldn't find the words. I agree completely!

    I'm still sad to be stuck on 2.4!

      Don't get me wrong, I'm still extremely proud of everything I've achieved so far but I guess as the saying goes, getting to the top is the easy, staying there is the hard part.
      I've just finished a HS Lesson tonight, now I'm freed up to get working on Lesson 3 of Mastering Lighting.
      Thanks for your feedback.

                Hasn't been great, but I'm already working on lesson 4 now that 3 is out and that was 2 parts, 4 hours of what I consider the best content so far. I will catch up! Once lesson 4 goes up and I'm getting updates out for lesson 5, I'll consider myself close enough caught up (factoring in breaking my hand etc)

                    Hi Grant, Lesson 3 isn't currently available - it says "Content Currently Uploading- Please check back tomorrow" whenever I log in. It's doing that now and has been since yesterday. Please take a look.

                      Yep, the files are still uploading- Our building has finally been given the option of cable internet and we will be upgrading to that at the end of the month. We get these intermittent time outs and the upload crashed at times, extremely frustrating

                        I've read back a few pages and seen some of the comments too and I have to say, this one hits the nail on the head for me.

                        • It would be cool if they were all updated to use the GGX method eventually.

                              New materials incorporating GGX and better optimization are on my to-do list, in the meantime, I feel I've very thoroughly explained material creation to the point where in most situations, you'll only need to slightly vary what I've taught.
                              I definitely want an updated library though.

                                Well your message explains it all. First of all looks like either you are not subscribed to the course or you did not get the idea behind the course at all (second one is more obvious i think) if you are waiting for a library to use.
                                Second is that you did not get anything about rendering settings and material settings from this course (that leads me to idea that you are not even subscribed).
                                So please , instead of being a troll (or starting to be one) - check free lessons and try to learn something from them.

                                This course gave me so much information - i haven't collect for my 7 year of archviz careeer , it made me a kick-ass to start actually see things around and boost quality , and i really hope that after Grant will finish modelling and lighting courses there will be an mastering animation workflow course , though that hope is really thin because as i know Grant gained his experience more from the print - ad industry...
