@silentheart00 Eevee is different in a lot of ways, I don’t understand all of them either. I see that the shading class has been scheduled for October and Kent plans to spend some time on Eevee shading – that’s going to be very useful I think.
I’m glad you’re able to cope with problems using art – lots of people say it’s very cathartic. I don’t know if I find a similar outlet in my own stuff yet; I focus on realism it seems, and there’s not much room for expression there I guess. But when I’m working in Blender – like if I’ve got a good few hours to just sit and do nothing else, I hit a kind of groove and the outside world just disappears for a while.
