"We'll use the Indigo font image, not because it's an appropriate emission texture for a pig"

Oh my lol, just what I needed :lol:

That little bit of humor you introduced is well portioned and spices up the whole thing nicely :)

Nice! :-)

But I think the glossy materials deserve a little bit of more attention, and especially at the diffuse transmitter you seem to be in quite a rush...

It is a good overview, but if I had not known what a diffuse transmitter is, I would be quite dazzled by now probably.

Apart from that, informative and fun to watch! Indigo needs a lot of this IMO, perhaps with links from the "features"-page? I know there is a technical manual, bit it really lacks examples, so newbies have to spent a looot of time at this forum.... if they have that time. I'll be looking forward for more!

I have to second that entierly. A sweet touch, there's no question ! And a welcomed surprise in my own case, laughing was the last thing I was about then :)

Yeah I did rush the DT, basically leaving it as a "perfectly rough transparent" explanation-wise... I guess some more words could be spared on blending it with a normal diffuse, like say in a 4th video which actually covers all that "next time" stuff ;)

Thx for the kind words guys, glad you like 'em!

These are really well done and professional. Nice work!

It's a lot of work but I think you would see a great benefit in continuing to release many more of these.

Very professional! These are a joy to watch and I am looking forward to seeing more advanced topics covered "another time" :wink:
