For those of you who watch tons of tutorials, which has been the intermediate-advanced tutorial which you'd recommend the most? One which pushed you, or was filled with tons of tips and tricks which you've never seen before.

I asked this on the Facebook group Ten Thousand Hours (which I'd highly recommend checking out), and a friend of mine posted the below, which blew my mind.

I've kept tab of Polycount Wiki's Texturing page for 4 years now.

I consulted with it anytime I needed to texture anything realistic or stylized.

For a quick start into anatomy I'd say probably rafael grassetti's gumroad !

For me it was Eat3D's Old Damaged Pillar: http://eat3d.com/pillar

It's not the greatest looking Asset, but it's very straight to the point, explaining withing ~2hrs the workflow of Hard Surface/Sculpting, Baking Normals, Importing to game engine, creating shaders, etc.

Here's mine on texturing
even tho we moved to allegorithmic and quixel stuff, it's still really good knowledge

Matt Thorup's tutorials are amazing! I recommend them to everyone, it's probably the tutorial where I saw the biggest leap of improvement in my work:

Simon Fuchs has some pretty interesting ways of modelling stuff.

@GrevSev
Yeah that's what really got me into game art

Is it still going though?

Oh yes! That was an eye opener! Another cool one was this, by Vitaly Bulgarov.

I'm dating myself here, but the Joan of Arc tutorial taught me a lot of the core poly modeling skills.

Haha this is amazing, I haven't seen this in years but Its awesome, it feels like some sort of rite of passage for anyone wanting to get into characters.

I personally really enjoyed Scott Eaton's Anatomy for artists course. It was super intense but the anatomy I learnt then has stuck with me for over a year now. http://www.scott-eaton.com/courses
I'll absolutely edit this post with more cool stuff if anything comes to mind. Can't wait to check out Character Creation for Games with Adam Skutt next time its available.

I've been doing Jacob Norris' tutorial for forest ground, and it's really getting me used to the whole pipeline for texturing something of the like. Nice pace to follow as well, I'm not having to pause the video or speed it up.

@leflix I'll check out the pillar sculpting tutorial, looks cool! I've been getting into sculpting rocks and cement and stuff. Thanks!

This one is probably my favorite. Really brought foliage to the masses, and got rid of some of the mysticality it was viewed with.

Of course it's a very specific niche tutorial, but so so good.
