Re: Why Some Tutorials Are Annoying
Oh my god that was funny! :smiley: I don't hate those kind of slow tutorials, I actually hate the opposite, the ones where the tutor clicks all over the place while tweaking values without really explaining what are they doing, its like "just put those values", I hate those so much!, obviously the comment its towards… -
Re: Why Some Tutorials Are Annoying
The best ones that I've seen are quick and illustrate either a single point or a series of closely related ones. If they have prerequisites, just list them in the first 5-10 seconds. Fast as they are, I think the ones from Handplane3D on normal maps are some of the best 3D tutorials I've ever seen. Others are Derek Banas'… -
Why Some Tutorials Are Annoying
I have to admit, I share this guys' parody critique so much as a nubile artist. There were SO many tutorials from skilled, seasoned artists that were terrible at teaching. Kudos to all those teachers who actually make awesome tutorials! Anyone else share similar experiences, or even see their own tutorials have similar… -
Re: Why Some Tutorials Are Annoying
For me, I like to see videos of how to do things, but often I really prefer to have a text tutorial with pictures, which you can skim or search for key words for what you need. Trying to do the same in videos can be a real pain. Obviously, the best tutorials are the ones that comes with both a video and written tutorial.… -
Re: Why Some Tutorials Are Annoying
I feel like I'm spoiled rotten with so many good tutorials free or cheap. Allegorithmic has awesome free tutorials for Substance, made it so easy to learn. This morning before work I started learning about VEX and VOPs in Houdini from a free tutorial I found on Youtube. On and on, so much quality free stuff. All of the… -
Re: Why Some Tutorials Are Annoying
I think the most useful thing anyone can do in a tutorial is to put timestamps in the description (or chapter markers for downloaded tutorials, and I don't mean 2 hour long avi files labeled as "chapters"). I usually say I hate long tutorials but really my issue is with how hard it is to find the information you're looking… -
Re: Why Some Tutorials Are Annoying
Hey you should link us your tutorials!, not to criticize you, by looking at your profile picture it seems that you do stylized modeling and texturing?, or what tutorials do you make? :smile: -
Re: Why Some Tutorials Are Annoying
I'm currently going through Zbrush tutorials and I found that parody video hysterical. However there are some gems out there such as Michael Pavlovich's Zbrush tutorials. They have been excellent so far & I plan to donate a lil moola to show my appreciation. -
Re: Why Some Tutorials Are Annoying
Pretty much. To add to your first point there is also usually some kind of grading on tutorials (beginner, advanced etc.) so that you know what to expect. Personally I'd rather have things over-explained than have an important part of the tutorial glossed over as that just stops me from proceeding. -
Re: Why Some Tutorials Are Annoying
From my point of view it's up to the viewer. Well it's the internet... 99.999999999% of the content is useless or annoying or whatever you want to call it, it's up to ourselves to find the information useful for us. Tutorial that I think have 0 value might be very useful for someone else. I can only appreciate all the…
