depends on the tutorial, I like both text and video tutorial, I made text tutorial with interactive image because , in my personal experience, I always want to skip video because I understand most of the step , but often in video i dont have option to do this. ( i even state this on my tutorial : " if you know about zbrush…
It depends on the tutorial. I find painting/sculpting tutorials easier when its realtime in a video format. However, if it were a tutorial on baking texutures from xNormal, it would be much more helpful as a text document. Essentially if the tutorial is based on technique then a video would be better. If its about a…
Thanks Guys, lots of good points I didn't consider. It is clear that whether it is better a video or a text and images tutorial depends on the content that needs to be shown. Sculpting and painting tutorials work better in video format, while technical and more abstract tutorials are better represented in text format. In…
Text tutorials mainly, but if they are supplemented by video its a plus, as long as there is text regarding whats going on in the video. The main reason is that it's much, much easier to search for specific subjects in a text tutorial, which you can't do in a video, unless you fast-forward through it all to see IF the…
I've never found a video tutorial for Zbrush that isn't either long-winded as all hell or the person isn't actually interested in teaching. Atleast when it comes to youtube anyway. Traditional subdivision modelling goes by alot better, atleast. Honestly though, text+image tutorials aren't much better. Why does the Joan of…
Text. Easier to parse, faster to read, lets me go at my own pace. Video tutorials are never useful unless motion is important and if that motion cannot be conveyed by a series of pictures. Practical examples: I want to find out more about support loops for hard surface modeling. I'm not going to watch a 30-minute tutorial…
I prefer video tutorials if they are done correctly. Here's what I consider to be an ideal example of a video tutorial: [ame] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q93pE5jB1Uw[/ame]
Both for the same reasons everyone else said. Beginner tuts definitely work better as videos imo, but more for more advanced tutorials or anything blueprint/programming/material related text is the way to go. Probably also depends on the individual producing the tutorial, IE some people are better at presenting in…
I can filter faster through a good text tutorial, with images. If the video is bookmarked, which has been rare for items like Youtube videos, I put them at equal footing with good text tutorials. Otherwise, I sort of balk at even spending 15 minutes of my time trying to scrub through for what I exactly need. Everyone who…
That would be a nice tutorial if I could skip all the basic stuff of how to create material , extrude the text ,blah blah.. and it give a tag or frame number directly to dissolving part As of OP tutorial video (fx maps) it's not bad but still have a lot of parasite information noise. Could stil be compressed a lot if you…
