Hi, am really enjoying your lectures on Embergen. I need to ask for a favor, could you please, do a video on LiquiGen. Thanks.

Muy buen curso en general, me habría gustado ver algo sobre alembics y vdbs pero por lo demás genial.

I enjoyed the course, it is super beginner-friendly. The only thing that I felt that i need is VDB export from EmberGen.

I like the diverse approaches oof the softwares and how the examples covers the most general situation, it's good fro a beginner

A little explanation of what each setting does would help to understand how fluid sims work. He shows how to use parameters, but not what they actually mean.
By Daniel Balzer on 1/9/2024
Great tutorial overall, quick and to the point. I would have loved a bit more Unreal Engine use cases as this one chapter covers just the very basics but would definetely recommend it.
By Wesley Ferreira on 1/5/2024
Curso muito bom, único ponto negativo até agora é o áudio que é muito baixo. Great Course, the only negative detail is the audio volume, really low.
By Mateus Ferreira Moreira on 9/5/2023
Overall, it's a really good introduction to EmberGen, but the instructor only talks about Unreal Engine 5 at the veeeeery end. I honestly thought there would be a much better integration between both software packages.
By Michael Crews on 7/5/2023
Very good. Please remember to include all the small steps that could derail your audience. Never know what they know. But thank you very clear and helpful.
