WOW, you just made my week as well!π
Looking at your renders right now, I am in love with your take on it. The ice motif is very strong, I am digging the colours and composition of your shots. π€© I'm stoked that RELIC has helped give you those "win" moments, those are a great boon to motivation and exactly the moments I was hoping for when putting the course together and I'd say you've nailed it.
It's been 14 years since I've started using Blender, and I can honestly say that sometimes it still feels like UVs are a superstitious entity altogether. Once in a while you need to sacrifice the default cube to make the Blender and UV gods happy, haha.
Thank you for taking the time to go through the course, as well as leaving your inspiring final thoughts (and sharing your work too!). If you have the time, please don't forget to leave a review on the course page! That greatly helps me out.
Happy Blending, and hope to hear from you again soon!
