I agree. I think this series shouldn’t be included in the Introduction to Blender learning flow because it assumes you know so much of the terminology and workflow. It’s definitely not as slow and gentle as the beginning to the flow, and I’m honestly a little disappointed. I feel like I need to go watch other tutorials on YouTube for a better understanding of the basics of UV mapping, and that’s a shame because we pay for what should be higher quality content/instruction. Not to be harsh, but this series is not living up to my expectations. It’s not bad, but I don’t think it fits in an introductory series. Nothing against the instructor, of course, but again, I don’t feel like these videos belong in the beginning workflow.
You’re definitely not alone. 🙂 We need to just keep going; it’ll all click eventually!
