  While the raw knowledge presented in the video is great, the presentation feels rushed.

  What I specifically mean by that is that I rather would have liked longer explanations of why certain nodes where used and what considerations went into it rather than it being more about the process of creating the specific brick wall material. It just feels there is too much time used for specificity and too little for general knowledge.

  I am very aware that there is additional material to go through, but it feels jarring to constantly have to pause the main course to check up on supporting material, just to come back to the main videos to continue. Additionally the speed of the presentation made me pause and rewind a lot because I was still processing the information given prior.

  It's not a bad course, in the end I learned quite a bit; I would just not recommend it to anyone who needs a more structured, well paced course to learn.

  Hi Oliver,

  Thank you for your feedback!

  My intention with splitting the additional details about specific nodes into separate videos was to focus more on techniques in the main portion. And to avoid stretching it out too much for those who are already familiar with the nodes, while at the same time still having the extra information there for those who need it. But I recognise that this does not appeal to everyone, and understand how you could be bothered by having to consult separate videos.

  As for the general pacing, this was indeed something I was trying to figure out as I went, this being my first course. I agree that, particularly in the beginning of the course, there is room for improvement on this front. I don't know if you are done with the course, but I think by the second half the pacing improved quite a bit, so I'd love to hear if this is in fact the case or not.

  Thank you again for your feedback! This is all relevant information for us to take into account for a potential course update down the line!

  And in any case, I'm happy that you learned something along the way.

  Luca

  I am impressed by the quality and attention to detail, from the basics to advanced techniques with explanations. A great choice for artists interested in procedural materials.

  Already learnt a great deal from only a few of the videos, I will forever be in debt to Luca. Amazing knowledge and teaching - and big thanks for adding visuals to the mathematics - it helps my artsy brain understand finally!
