For anyone who is stuck on the Vertex color mask part (16:03), the Shortcut for "set vertex color, " Shift + K, has been changed to CTRL + K in Blender 4.0.

When you just have to make a Blender tutorial at 2am but don't want to wake your family.

[SubhrajyotiAcharyyaDSB]

bruh. this is one of the best tutorials on blender anywhere.

[vonownd]

Oh i love the deep whispers as someones telling me a secret.

[cubicbook]

After 3 years of using Blender, there is no doubt in my mind, yours is the best tutorial I have come across so far.

[gamingbruv]

Honestly best tutorial I've seen so far.

Pace is fast but not overwhelming, every second isn't wasted, all options are presented next to each other smoothly. Your work is nicely organized too. Not to mention the lovely delivery with your soothing voice. Love it.

[Evan_the_cat]

This is the most informative and engaging blender tutorials that I've watched! (I've watched hundreds)

[victoriagdalevich]

I love your storytelling voice!! Usually, I get annoyed in tutorials but you nailed it

[billkage]

This is the tutorial that I finally understood how shading really works in Blender. You should do more video tutorials like this. You have a natural way of explaining things clearly. Thanks very much!

[I_am_Spartacus]

Probably the best tutorial on glass on YT.... absolutely outstanding....

[terryrhuebottom]

One of the biggest takeaways I've gotten from this is how to layer properly. Honestly, I had always thought it was the other way around. Super helpful

[therealKrak]

You got a calming voice, sounds like whispering which makes this somewhat mysterious but I like it.
Fits perfectly for your explanations and they are very clear and easy to understand.
Great job

I've been using blender for years but I had never seen such a clear explanation of nodes and masks! keep going 👍🏻

[AcrioAlarius]

Watched first 5 minutes and I think it will be a nice tutorial. I like how you explained the masking process in a clean way with animations to back the words. Subscribed and will be watching more of it later, thanks!

[antoniomarchante]

Many times I see comments in tutorials like "this is the best turorial I have seen", but often feel its an overstatement. This is not the case. Fair to say one of the best I have seen, I came to learn about how to make a realistic glass shader, but I feel I found one of the best if not the best intermediate tutorial about blender shading that I have seen. The masks part its amazing, the overall quality and the amount of useful tips and well presented information. Simply amazing. Thanks so much for this gift.

[Azeal]

wow, this was PERFECT. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you!

[iliassmg]

We need more of this type of videos, keep going man, really like the videos.

[Argyll]

Excellent! Not too sure about the breathless commentary, but the message gets through.

[maxostlund]

I am literally watching parts of this tutorial where I understand everything 100% from before, but it's still like ASMR due to your voice.

[lymensid]

Brother, i am a beginner and man, this vidoe is awesome. I LEARNED SOOO MUCH from this video and i like the way you scripted it aswell. pure cinema!
