CORE | Fundamentals of Materials and Shading Review by dbchest

I don't know how to review this course, to be honest...maybe it would be better to keep my thoughts close, but I'll offer them anyway, because this is the review section, and this was my experience... I struggled with the instructor's accent for almost all of chapters 2 and 3, which made it very difficult for me to retain the course material, and I didn't know subtitles were available until checking just before posting this, so I wasn't accusing the platform for not offering them; as it turns out, you do, so that's on me and I'll definitely use them for the Texturing course. Putting that aside...the instructor may very well be a subject matter expert, but I don't get the impression of ownership that I get with the other instructors, like Paul, Kent, and John, for example; like these instructors prepare their scripts but aren't afraid to deviate from them when recording. I got the impression the instructor for this course had a script and that's all we got; no more, no less, verbatim. At the end of the day, I felt competent when approaching the exercise, but I really struggled to understand the information as it was presented.
