Let’s take a moment and practice making our first materials together! Be sure to download the course content if you haven’t done so already. We’ll be using what we’ve learned so far as a base in this practice.
While we have been using nodes for a while in the course, we haven’t spent much time diving into their power. Here Dustin starts going into some of his everyday nodes used in his workflow and prepares the scene we will use for the remainder of this chapter.
