    It was just those certain couple (subsurface IOR & specular IOR) that i couldnt find an exact or same named version on the nodes, such as the IOR, and yes, i should have really used the same version of blender, but i am fedup of having to switch over versions every time i do a different tutorial, its one part of all this i dislike and is a headache at best

    If i have a project that means i have to use many different versions of blender just because i learnt that way, then it is gonna be a huge issue with compatibility and having to know what to change, where to change it, etc

    My other new issue is that i cannot reset the UV Editing unwrap i did, this was because, again, i used 4.5.1.1 and instead of having as your screen showed, UV Unwrap, the UV Unwrap i clicked was instead a container for a variety of unwraps… not an issue in itself, but after playing around with it and finding it put lots of boxes in, instead of the one i needed for the selected screen face, i now find there is not a tool option to delete these boxes off, so i can start it again, and it is frustrating because i just wanna finish it

    the other big issue with all this in general is, i do not wish to miss out on quality tutorials because of version differences, and also even if i use the same version of blender, that teaches me nothing about how it works when changed in another version… seems like an uphill struggle for those of us inexperienced, and at the very least a lot of reading manuals and looking up changes tht detracts from the creativity and adds a lot more learning UI and additions

    Are there any comprehensive blender version change guides put out, or is that somehting we have to do ourselves?
