You're really good at breaking things down. I feel I could have learned cycles on the first try if I'd watched some tutorials set up like this.

... so I lied. Two videos coming TOMORROW, not today. 3 videos a week, remember? ;-)

I've viewed practically all the tutorials on Blender and your videos by far are the best! Easiest to follow with excellent and short to the point explanations of the hows and whys. Finally I get this! Seriously, I was to the point of giving up. Thank you so much!!!!

No channel teach blender with this much details. Thanks

[DANGELOOR]

you are like the best Blender teacher and your voice is nice to listen.

You may or may not be tired of hearing this already but you have a true gift of teaching. Awesome!

Wow! I've watched countless video tutorials pertaining to Cycles, and nodes but have learned more from this one than all others combined, and then some! Thank you for the tremendous effort you have put forth to help others understand this not so easy to grasp workflow! Suddenly, now it is not that difficult at all.

One of the very few channels on YouTube where I'm happy to let adverts play all the way through :-)

I learned a lot about the platform from your videos not just how to follow along and copy. Thanks

[MorgaineChristensen]

I have avoided trying to learn cycles because it looks so complicated. You have made it look simple and not so scary. Thanks for the video.

When i watched this video and after you introduced nodes editing, I was like "Mind blown". That has so much potential ! Thank you for the videos, they are making learning how to use blender a smooth ride !

[AlecDamiano]

I wish more tutorials would explain everything as thoroughly and clearly as you just did. Thank you. :)

[leocgart]

I need to say, the quality of your teaching is great! I am really looking foward for your lessons.

[Mourdraug]

Great tutorials, I was like "Holy Cow, that's some amazing wizardy going on here!" and learned a lot. Thanks for all these tuts. :D

@ 18:26 - Ahh Suzanne turned into a weird alien devil monkey! lol :D I have to agree. When I first saw Nodes, I was intimidated for sure, and avoided them. For a while I've realized that I made a huge mistake and recently decided it was long overdue to start learning Nodes & Cycles. Thanks a lot for the tutorial man, good job!

[LadyShatana]

This was great! I love how you show the 2 different methods to access and work with nodes, this really helped me understand how the right bar area can be used. The hardest thing about learning Blender is how things can be dine different ways - the trick is finding the one that works best for you lol

[fnwolf]

Like many others, I've been dragging my feet when it came to this subject. Thank you for the very easy to follow explanation.

[moradshebli]

Thank you SO MUCH! i didnt even finish the video yet, couldn't continue without thanking you for all those tiny details u provide <3

[nigelpallatt]

Once again a great tutorial, A little simple. but it is 4 years old, it is a good basic introduction to nodes and materials.

[sirtooby]

Thanx. Been doing things I Blender for many years. This is one of the better clips on how to do it.
