I have been into 3D for 10 years and watching tutorials, even paid courses, yet first time in my life I have the best understanding of how lights work in real world and 3D. Please keep up the great work!

[@WenboZhao]

Wow, thanks million! this is so encouraging mate🥰

[@bbitirim]

@@WenboZhao No, sir. Thank you!

[@yaoyaosam]

Totally agree.

[@Rudse]

Totally agree!!!! ❤️

[@awesomebrother19]

Tutorials show how to do a particular stuff. But real talent evolves when we start making new things after learning from those tutorials 😊.

[@ua_visuals]

Honestly, it's very difficult to find tutorials of this quality. Thank you so much.

[@WenboZhao]

Thank you 🥰

[@sebrij]

watching this video and him explaining everything i do to light my renders and immediately saying "don't do this it's wrong" has been pretty hilarious so far

[@WenboZhao]

Hahaha 🤣

[@thecrazyartist6003]

Today morning I just saw this video in my mobile before a job interview and I applied this in job test for the 1st time and they were feeling crazy from the results.... Thanks for teaching us 😁😊

[@satyamanu2211]

Commenting, so that the algorithm understands this is absolutely brilliant

[@WenboZhao]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@kiddospagaragan9149]

Awsome class Wenbo.. i agree complete with what you said in the beginning.. it is so hard to find more professional explanations about how things happen, and how to apply it.. all is about do this and do that, with less understanding about what is going on..
