Re: PSA: How to use a 3d tutorial.
I don't know If I created even one thing directly from tut... I always rather look on workflow. Which functions of an app do what and what should you do to avoid problems. Sometimes I watch tuts about stuff I have no knowledge at all. For example animation. I don't usually do it though. I try to remember basics of the… -
PSA: How to use a 3d tutorial.
Every time a new tutorial video comes out, it kinda bothers me when I see multiple p&p posts of clones. So I felt compelled to write this. How to use a 3d tutorial. Lets be one-hundred percent blunt and brutally honest from the get go. No one hires someone because they can follow a tutorial. If you have portfolio full of… -
Re: PSA: How to use a 3d tutorial.
For someone's first time doing something or for someone who wants some familiarity before digging into something, tutorials are a great, and actually doing the tutorials allows you to go hands on with correct techniques from very beginning.

Re: PSA: How to use a 3d tutorial.
I don't see anyone saying that all tutorials have to be the same, Bigjohn. But what I tried to say was that following a tutorial to the letter isn't bad.

Re: PSA: How to use a 3d tutorial.
When I do tutorials I create a separate .ai file listing the steps and screenshots of my screen for future reference of the workflow. I typically want to use the techniques for my own projects.

Re: PSA: How to use a 3d tutorial.
Well, wouldn't you feel cheated if you paid for a video tutorial from some great person, and half of it is them explaining the UI and hotkeys? I know I would... I already know those things. I know the techniques, I know how to use the programs. What I wanna pay for is to get a window into someone's brain when they create… -
Re: PSA: How to use a 3d tutorial.
I agree with Noodle! Following a tutorial, vertex by vertex, IS learning. Of course it is. Until you see the process, and follow along, how can you learn it? As long as you're paying attention to what you're doing while you're doing it, you learn the technique and can then apply it to your own work. I will agree that… -
