SURVEYYY!!!

1. What was the hardest part of this class?

You teach pretty fast I would say, I remembered everyone couldn't catch up with you when you taught the subsurface scattering. Thus, hardest part is to catch up with what you're doing. 

In terms of the software, I would say in the beginning because we dont know what nodes are there in the surface shader, 

But once we get a hang of it, it gets better.  

2.  What was the easiest part?

I think all your lessons are pretty average out.

3. What was your favorite part?

Doing my snow shader. Trail and error like nuts and the end result was pretty impressive!! 

WHEN THE SHADER WORKS AND LOOKS GOOD.

4. What was your least favorite part?

Base color:  Grey (Done)
Secondary Color: White (Done)

Note to self:

Fit: can be used to control the amount of white or brown
Adjustment  Bias: Smooth with Cardinal Spine gives detail to the terrain

WIP: Snowy Shader

. Tried out mixing stone / marble / mold shader.
. Used AAnoise and added in periodic noise for texture of snow on the mountain.

 

AAnoise Y axis needs to be adjusted according. The noise drives the color of the white. 

MY HOUDINI CRASHED.
