  1. I've been watching your videos for a while and I've noticed that, even when I have the same update as the video I'm watching I never seem to be looking at the same screen as you are. Are there certain addons I should have selected as default?

  2. SOMEBODY I NEED HELP i was following this exact tutorial and when i went to align my camera view it instead moves my earth object. NOT MY CAMERA. this is really pissing me off can somebody tell me how to fix this please?!

    for some reason, the bump map is not interpolated but pixelated. I use the exact same setup and I even tried restoring the factory settings. The bump map is non-color and works, but it isn't smooth like yours.
    Edit: Imma go reinstall Blender jeez.

  4. So I took to baking each of these steps as we went and it really did a great job at keeping the view-port rendering, full render and re-render times down to very short times.. It had occurred to me, that perhaps you should include baking as part of your texture/material creation processes in your tutorials. Baking is such a powerful tool, that people should get into the habit of baking. what better way to do that than to repeat it over and over again.

  5. You could at least give us the hdri map used in the tutorial.. for those who dont have that insane ammount of money to buy lightning skies… is not that easy to find decent stars hdri maps. Now we need to stop the tutorial and try to find something to put in there. Why dont you use free assets, instead of trying to sell your products in every each single tutorial??.

  6. To get the light mask aligned with the lamp, use the object output in the texture coordinates. Make the object an empty and apply a constraint to copy the rotation of the lamp and go from there. Hope this helps ๐Ÿ™‚
