I really like these videos and I think Clint is a great guy and teacher, buuut this is a sponsored video. He is sharing its knowledge with us basically free but he is also definitely making a profit from it, which I think it's awesome but it's not exactly what you are saying. However really greatfull from the video and happy you can do what you enjoy it Clint!

[@pedroblanco2108]

@@graysnail9232 Well sure that's true! Is just the way he phrased it seemed a bit weird to me

[@Atezian]

Scaling the bump depending on the cameras distance is a great piece of info. Everything else was basic and i learnt nothing. I Would not pay for this video. He skims over everything and teaches nothing except a few material node concepts for a software that I don't use. This isn't even a 'workflow' to get photorealostic models. It is a work flow for rendering any 3d model. This video is completely unrelated to photorealism, he just happens to be using them as the example but teaches you nothing about rendering photo-realistic itself.

Rather than a step by step of making a scalloped cut on a pen, you incept ideas on how to solve the problem with the audience. Your pacing and flow between information didn't once tempt me to grab the timeline head to fast forward to relevant info. This is real internet teaching. I have become an instant fan.

I do 3D models for manufacturing purposes aka I use fusion 360 among other CAD CAM softwares. Something I’ve learned and you pointed to was starting with a basic shape then editing it to get your model. Thinking of complicated items as just a few squares and circles helps a bunch. Details are always the last thing done when manufacturing and part same goes for modeling. Keep up the great work Clint!

This taught me something major, I've been making a mistake with my surface imperfections! I was that guy who asked about Cycles4D on one of your streams and I saw that there are similarities in it's nodegraph functions so I found this really helpful as I don't have Octane or Redshift. But all this time I've been putting my surface imperfections into the bump and normal channels. Why I didn't even consider the roughness channel is beyond me. Also the way of cutting a perfect circle out of an object, fantastic tip! I'll definitely be utilising what info I've managed to take away from this, thanks Clint!

this is the level we need to achieve a photorealistic model the detailed texture, fingerprints random cut, make me think I need to go back and redo everything again from scratch. we only need to do it once in a lifetime then get used of of doing such minor detailings and keep the habit. thanks for this now I know what I am lacking :).

Confession: I do not do any sort of 3D modeling, and I doubt I ever will. I'm just a fan of Clint and I'm here to support him with a view, a like, and a comment. It may just be a drop in the bucket, but it's the least I can do. On topic: I probably watched half the video before I realized that the objects he was showing us in the close-ups were the 3D models and not the real objects. That is some next-level wizardry right there.

Awesome video, but why using C4D over Blender to make your texture/shaders ? Isn't Octane available for Blender too ?

He said in another video that it really just comes down to what you're accustomed to using. He said if he had to start all over again, he'd be using blender instead.... but now he's so used to c4d that it's like muscle memory.

First of all... thanks sooo much for putting soo much time, effort and most of all commitment into this and this community! And thanks for this video... Love the pictures. One thing to add though as my personal preference and I don't mean to be demanding or anything! I am seriously grateful for what you are doing!!! I just love to see the live stream and tackling problems with you together. This kind of edited Tutorial is something that can be found plenty on youtube. I love to see how you as a professional struggle as well, run into bumps and how you try to solve it. I would have loved to see how you tackled the modelling problem and made progress since the Lambo stream. I know that is what you did in this video in a condensed form but i would have loved to come along for the journey. Just my opinion. Nonetheless... Thank you soooo much!!

[@conahscreations]

Some really important advice and tips here, awesome video! Going to dive into your surface imperfection video now and I'm pumped! Also wanted to say what you're doing is really cool - a lot of people would create packs (like your surface imperfection pack), advise people to go buy it, and then leave it at that, but the fact you've encouraged us to create our own textures and given us insights into how its done is really humble and I'm sure a ton of people appreciate it. Thanks dude, excited to see the channel grow even more in the future!

[@Gredran]

I like how you remind everyone it doesn’t matter if we use Blender, Maya, Cinema, 3ds, etc. These days the line is blurring with the differences. Sure there’s pros and cons in each, but they are all similar workflows. Even if hotkeys are different, you still have subdivisions, edge loops, rendering, node texturing, the PBR shader is the same these days, etc. even the gradient node has an equivalent called Color Ramp. Also when you modeled the wooden table, Cinema’s clone tool is Blender’s Array tool, and both I believe function similarly even if the mindset and workflow feel a little different. But yea I watch blender to learn new features and specifics to blender, but I follow you religiously because you DON’T use blender and it’s to teach me from a modeling perspective and not JUST from a using Blender only perspective. Doing it that way you realize how similar every 3D program is these days.
