Helo there. Newbie cgcookie member here.
Well, to be fair, what I think so far is that :
-Yes, I can see very clearly what I’ve already learned fromcgcookie compared to when I was trying to copy random tutorials from Youtube. I understand modelling way batter than before because some of the courses are of a very high quality in that they really help you understand the hows and whys.
-For your first suggestion, I had the same feeling, but it’s not a big thing missing. Lots of tutorials are ending with a “let me see what you guys are doing with that” at the end of the exercise. It’s up to you to take what you learne and use it for your own defined exercise. I did it recently and it was reaaly good for me to see what I had learned, and trying to go through the process again. Maybe it just lacks an input category at the end of tutorial for personal project built from this exercise, but it’s not too bad. You can still create your own gallery. This is where people will look for what you are doing I think.
-I also had some exercises where it was just “passed” with no comments. For these, it was ok for me. You know what you need to do, if it’s good it passes, otherwise you’ll hear about what’s wrong. I don’t focus too much on that. That’s also why I joined the current contest. It puts what I learned to the test, and keeping mysqelf a WIP thread allows me to get feedbakck from people, including crew.
That’s the way I see it so far.
