Update (Patreon)

During the livestream yesterday I mentioned the plan to condense the Materials content for the sake of time and Anna suggested splitting the content into two parts. That was a good suggestion.
As I started putting together the content for this topic I've found there is more to cover than I had originally realized. Since there is more to cover than I can put together in a month (given the time I have between client work), splitting it let's me cover each aspect fully instead of cutting out sections. Part one will be released this month and the second part should be next month. The first part will be covering the principles involved in rendering materials and the second part will be more of the practical side of painting materials. The principles focus a lot on understanding light behavior, knowing what to look for and aspects to account for in effective material rendering. Part two will have more step-by-step examples of how to paint a variety of materials, and maybe before and after examples.
