Thank you for this detailed explanation. Videos like this are especially needed when most of the interface changes like B3d2.79>2.80. *And* you're speaking loud, clear and without hicccups which is a great quality in such videos. The only thing I'd mention is since it's designed to be beginner friendly, it would be best not to use "search" function as much as possible and display the location of the tools you're using: beginner woudln't know his tool names as good as an experienced user. For example, MixRGB -- one would remember it's some sort of color mixing, probably RGB-something. But where could he look it up? Is it Vector? Or Math? Or Color? Or even Texture? But if shown that it's a Color>MixRGB, he'll definitely be more inclined to look it up under Color section of the Add menu, and when he'll get used to knowing it's name, he'll probably look it up by Search OR, which is more likely, add it to QuickFavorites along with ColorRamp and a few other most used items. Also, if the item name would be changed in the future, he'd still be able to find it pretty effortlessly.

I have just finished this tutorial and now waiting for it to render. I was wondering if it is possible to tweek this so that the face actually flakes off. If anyone has any pointers on how to achieve this it would be a great help. Ideally the face would flake off leaving just an empty space

@@tandmsanderson6765 I suppose just adding the same set of rules to the actual model would do the trick.

@@ShadeAKAhayate Thanks for your input. I have been successful.

Thank for the amazing tutorial. I would love to show u my results. Do u have instagram account? I can tag u

Great comment, thanks for the info! So even though you turned the Distance down under Object Collisions it still wasn't working?

@@DylanNeill3D yeah i turned it down to the minimum allowed and it still gave weird behaviour. Solved by enlarging the whole model up to the proportions used in your tutorial, so the gap between the meshes was manageable. To be honest there may have been another factor, but I'm guessing this was it seeing as everything behaved perfectly normally after I scaled it all up. I also used one of the other heads you suggested as the first link doesn't seem to be functioning for me. I put the result up as the latest post here if you're interested to see instagram.com/3dromance/

Great tip! I didn't know that one!

@@DylanNeill3D Glad to be of service :)

No YOU'RE breathtaking! :)

Ooh, and the procedural eye texture is a cool trick, I've been playing around with it just now. Multiplying with a noise texture works really nicely. (Separate out the color ramp's saturation to control iris-or-not.) Still working on how to transform it to get a radial stripe pattern, though...

Thanks! So you're gonna say "Blender" 28100 times for the next release right? Right??!! :)

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Yes watching it back I can see that cut is a bit confusing, so will keep that in mind for future videos. The wind is what causes most of the movement so maybe double check those settings.

Great info Nathanael! Yeah I've done heaps of skin stuff in other renderers but not much in Blender so did make some assuptions about how it worked. Think I'll do a specific skin shading video and get into the details a bit more. Thanks for the detailed comment!

Awesome, glad you're liking the vids. Yeah their eye textures aren't straight forward to set up so was to make the tutorial faster. Might do another vid where I go more in depth with that sort of stuff.

I put the previous comment before the end around the 35th min, I have to put another one... The ending is even crazier. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge. And in this way..!

Nice work!
