It is a "follow what I just did" course. You can learn how to oeprate the Substanced Designer as a beginner, but nothign more. The course is divded to several topics, and each topic is divided to several lessons. You can direclty jump to the section you are interested. Half of the time in each lesson was "let me experiment this and that button to demonstrate what they do." That's why each course is more than 30 mins long, the instructor didnt edit the video much. Whether this teaching method is good or bad depends on the you, in my opinion.

처음 서브스턴스 디자이너를 배운다면 좋은 강좌라고 생각됩니다. 살짝 아쉬운건 실수한 부분을 포함해서 강좌를 넣어서 노드를 작업하다가 지우고 하는점이 있지만 덕분에 몇몇 부분들은 응용해서 쓰는 방법을 터득하게 되는 점이 좋았습니다.

It was a good course, learned a lot, some areas of the tutorial felt like it was dragging out a bit, and the nature part the clips felt a bit too long but overall I was satisfied.

Just finished the course. For me, the pros and cons are : Pros : - Materials presented in this course are varied and overall look great - Instructor uses a lot of different nodes throughout the course so you'll have a good cover of them - Good logic when creating materials Cons : - Not much video editing : There's hardly any forward explanation on what steps the instructor will take to create the materials, so for the most part you'll create and delete nodes without knowing why you're doing it. Also, Instructor will sometimes create nodes, then change or delete them for a better result. This could've been cut on a video editing software so we get straight to the good way of doing it. - Not enough node explanation : At the beginning of the course, Instructor did a break once to explain different nodes that could achieve the expected result, and select one. We need more of those breaks in the course as it is a beginner course. - Rythm : The instructor rarely make breaks to show the current state of his graph and what should be achieved next. As all videos in this course are roughly 30 minutes long, you'll have to pause several times to catch up his pace. Overall, it's a course I'll come back to if I want a good quality material and I need to see the specific process the instructor used, but I can't recommend it for beginners, as there are too few explanations on basic material processing and nodes.

Slow and detailed explaination make it easy to understand the lecture.

This course was fantastic! Starting from simple shapes and building up. I jumped from the first section to the fabric section as I was most interested in that but I look forward to watching the rest. What I enjoy very much is how you occasionally would try a method that didn't quite work for you and then showed another work-around. You use straightforward nodes, often the same again and again and I found myself following better than I usually do. Please make more Substance Designer courses. I also bought your kitchen SP course which is excellent as well.

私はSubstanceDesignerの初心者ですが非常に理解しやすかったです。
By PJ Mackinney on 3/19/2023
Does not explain nodes when going through what they relate to, moves rather quickly when selecting from properties. if made to follow along this moves too quickly, if made for an overview, it does well.
By Omar Hamed on 3/17/2023
The Introduction make it easy for me to continue The shapes section was step by step and I completed it exactly like the videos Such a great instructor till now
