At the beginning I had the tutorial phase. Watched everything I could. In the meantime I tried what I saw in those tutorials. I couldn't watch whole tutorial at once since I became sleepy fast :P After some time you don't need tutorials. You know your way around. Even when you use new software you just skim through it's…
I used to follow them a lot; both video tutorials and written tutorials. Now I've gotten to a point where little techniques help me way more than whole project tutorials ever could, so I don't watch them so much anymore. Earthquake's posts on Polycount about Normal Maps, and everyone's posts in the "How you model dem…
I'm a tutorial hoarder if there ever was one. But I use tutorials all the time, even at work and when I'm working on projects. No shame in searching something, and the internet is there to be used and abused as a personal dictionary. I use tutorials all the time...
Ill watch tutorials in my spare time to get an understanding on some things. work on my own project later and if i run into a problem I reference something i have seen before in a tutorial or look up something that covers it then. every now and then i will follow along with a tutorial and then play with different settings…
I personally like to watch tutorials on random game development fields outside of my own, such as advanced effects creation, tool building, HLSL/Shader talks, etc. It helps broaden my understanding of the entire process. That being said though, I do pretty consistently hoard tutorials and what not just to watch people use…
Trial and Error. When I started yes, now I find you find your own techniques and ways to go about things and push yourself to learn more about the app you use. HOWEVER if I get stuck or are strapped for time I will attempt to look up how to go about the results I am after but I am a trial and error guy 1st if time allows.…
At first, i used to follow up step by step but now i skip to the point, watch the whole thing and Then use what iv`e learned. ooh DigitaltTutors :| most of their tutorials are boring xD... anyways it doesnt matter how you Watch a tutorial all what matters is that you learn what youve watched and memorized it :D
I spent a few years watching tutorials before I went to sleep and in my spare time. Soak up some knowledge, then try it out on whatever I was working on at the moment. Nowadays, I find I can watch an entire modeling tutorial and not pick up anything new. I'm basically watching someone work and getting irritated because…
I like to think my skill set is a bit beyond copying a tutorial step for step, but in saying this i watch tutorials all the time. I generally just like to hear people talk while working on my own stuff, but for the main part its usually when im learning a new software for example world machine. And i'm generally just…
I'll be searching for a specific piece of information, and generally skip to the part I need, then watch it at 2x playback until I've got what I needed. If I really want to sit down to learn something new, I'll go to read an full article, and scrub through a timelapse of someone working on whatever it is I want to learn…
