Hi, that was weird I had posted a reply to you but although submitted when I checked the thread again it had disappeared!
I just wanted to respond to your message: (a) When double-clicking your avatar I cannot send a message to you, (b) yes you are correct I am taking part in a new members 14 day trial period.
The trial period is great as it allows total beginners, like myself, to explore CG Cookie and get a taste for the courses. However, we cannot download videos which is understandable. We also cannot download any course files or assets. I have mixed feelings about this. On one side I understand CG Cookie wishes to guard its assets but on the other side how are we supposed to get a “real” taste for the CG Cookie experience if we are stuck in a certain course because the instructor is basing the course on course/source files that we don’t have access to?
Just as an example, I am loving Kent’s course but I spent half of the day yesterday researching and trying to figure out the make-up of Kent’s Fresnel node group. I think I am close but I know that I still haven’t achieved it and my renders look different from Kent’s.
Anyway, I can’t complain as the trial is free. I just wanted to give a little feedback.
Wandermonk7 you wouldn’t happen to have a screenshot of Kent’s Fresnel node tree? 🙂
