Great tutorial! Thx

You sir are an absolute gem and so is your content. I have been a bit lost in substance painter since I purchased it so i've been absorbing tutorials and content relating to it for a bit now and your tutorials are fantastic. Very methodical without any flashy gimmicks or over-exaggerated enthusiasm. You're not just pumping out videos to sell a course or because a sponsor paid you, you're just a person with a passion sharing his knowledge with the world and youtube needs more people like you. I like that you explain certain details of what things do or what they are for, its very important and a lot of content creators gloss over things like that because they're so used to it that they forget others might not be aware of or have a general concept of the things they consider second nature with their experience. I already watched your barrel tutorial and im checking out some of your other videos as well. Just wanted to drop by and say kudos to you good sir, please continue doing what you're doing. I know youtube is a slow grind but you are already on a fantastic path and I wish you all of the success that you deserve. Thanks again and never change!

Hi V, Thanks for the lovely feedback I really appreciate it. I don't get paid or sponsored for making videos. Though that would be nice, I would not change my delivery though, that's important to me. I spent years trying to learn myself, and found tutorials often missed key parts of the process. So I try to fit everything in, it's not to everyone's taste I think, too long for a lot of people. I wouldn't feel right compressing it to get it shorter or leaving anything out though, so I'll keep my style i think :) Thanks again. John

I did not find lessons like yours very clear to convey the information. Thank you sir very much for your time and effort.

rarely leave comments, but this is the case, I have been working as a 3d artist for a long time and this is the content that I would like to know at the very beginning wish you good luck, stay safe

[@3dmegaverseJohn]

Thank you for the support Hazer. I try and pick topics like that. Things it took me an age to learn and would have been really helpful early on.

[@maxer167]

this tutorial is sequeezed in atomic level. better than wathing hours of udemy crap.

[@3dmegaverseJohn]

I appreciate that. Udemy courses can be long winded it's true, but I've learnt some gems from there. Sometimes it gives me just enough information to work out the rest. Some courses on Udemy are better than others, that's for sure.
