@@nlokteff Yes, please do! You present the information in an easy to understand and engaging way. I've revisited your tutorial today and followed along. I must say that the results are remarkable! Just trying now how to figure out how to render the end parts. I wonder if you would have other gradient mesh tutorials that would delve into making more complex images, like faces and cars. Thanks!
