Why does this course start with a whole bunch of stuff open in a mode that isn't explained yet? Idk how to even get into UV mode and I feel like half way through the lesson. what the hell is that checker board is that just the color blue?
I really wish you guys would put the lessons in chronological order instead of me trying to hop around and guess what lesson I'm supposed to take next.
I think the lessons got mixed up in the move to Mavenseed. I noticed some of the lesson are listed backwards.... Try going to to bottom of the page and looking at those lessons.
In the questions under this lesson, there is a question about this and the answer is, that you need to do the Fundamentals of Materials first.
Yes, Spikey is right! It's in the right order, but if you're new to shading nodes it's recommend to take the Fundamentals of Materials and Shading first: https://cgcookie.mavenseed.com/courses/fundamentals-of-blender-materials-and-shading
