Hey CGC! My next course, the Fundamentals of Materials and Shading, is coming out next week. To go along with that, I'll do a stream on the topic. If you have any questions about materials or would like help with a scene you are having trouble shading, post below!
Fish invironment Hi @jlampel I'm sharing my fish file I'd like you to look at it. I wanted to hilite the scales to have a edge glow effect. As you can see in the file I started work on it. Renders of the scene are in the gallery. Hope its not too late.
cchaoslillith Ah yes, packed textures would be very helpful! I hadn't opened the file yet and didn't notice. Thanks for the catch!
I'll get it done today, been focusing on an animation I am working on :)
Hey cchaoslillith , that one doesn't appear to have textures either. Maybe because it's the previous save's .blend1 backup file instead of the .blend file?
What the? Grrr, sorry. I redid it, my bad! Too many files lol. Okay. Here is the blend.
cchaoslillith and ketre you can safely disable the creation of those .blend1 files; I have never needed them and the number of times people accidentally uploaded the wrong file are 'countless'.
You don't have to believe me:

Damn it! Missed the livestream!! I knew I should have put it on my phone calendar! Oh well, was getting car stuff done. Can't wait to see the video when it is posted!
It's posted now! For anyone who wanted the tweaked versions of the files, you can find them here:

WOOHOO!! It is processing (I am sitting here hitting refresh lol) I will check out the blends once my animation is done rendering.
Man, I am seeing the dreaded "Queued for Processing" message too. Gonna have to wait to watch Jonathon in action. Save me a seat Kat.
