Same. I was studying abroad outside of the states for about a year and a half at a uni and I wasn't happy. Literally something simple like learning the differences in file formats, there would be a long complex lecture about it for a full semester, not even joking, we even had tests and long essays for it, which I still didn't understand ANY OF IT until I left and decided to become self taught. Literally that same topic, with these amazing people like J and many others, I was able to understand the topic in just 5 minutes rather than a whole flippin semester. I learned more here with these online courses than at an expensive university....way faster too. seriously I think uni's these days are a full on scam. 🙃

@@marlom.5081 I'm sorry you had a bad experience at uni, although they aren't all like that. The uni I go to is quite in depth and also well paced with their hands on experience. Majority of my class time is actual hands on and not lecture based. Sure they give lectures here and there but they let you go on your own and if you have questions about how to do stuff they come back and pick your brain on how to find out or they just show you how to do it. I guess I should be grateful that I have professors that I have. It makes me sad to hear that other universities are like this.

That nightclub light setup is so cool I watched it like 10 times, I usually struggle a lot to get a cool look like that, also I have faced an issue when using displacement maps with hair caps, that it distorts the base mesh but since the hair cap mesh has no displacement assigned it would just sunk the hair inwards, so it had to be assigned on both the mesh. I am gonna experiment with the light and makeup setup learned from this tutorial and will post it in the discord art gallery. Thanks J for such a nice video, always grateful.

Hello J, Thank you for the amazing tutorials you always post. I learned a lot from you. As for connecting the normal map, it will work perfectly if you create aiNormalMap node. Connect the OutColor of your normal map to Input, then connect OutValue of that node to Normal Camera. As for the color space it will be like how you do it, set to Raw amd Alpha is Luminance. I hope it will help.

Love the videos man, you've taught me so much! I'm writing this comment at 26:00 so if you address this later in the video, then my apologies! For me the aiNormalmap node, I set my map colorspace to Raw, then plug rgb output from the map into the "input" on the aiNormalmap, and then take the rgb output from the aiNormalmap and plug that into the normalCamera on the aiStandard. For the "normal" input on the aiNormalmap, from my understanding, it is for if you want to layer normalmaps. You can plug the output of another aiNormalmap into it, or even the output of an aibump2d if you want to use height data without displacement. Hope that helps!

Also if you export your normal from SP with the Arnold preset you don't need to flip nor switch any of the color channels. It's good to go. On top of that this node let's you lower the normal intensity. 😀
