If you are a 3D artist or painter, this video covers information you should have a passing familiarity with. How materials and light respond in the real world. If you know the rules, you can use them to problem solve artistic creations and maintain a believability in thes images. Even if these things do not exist in real life.

This video is a bit longer, and is usually something I discuss in a classroom setting. It might be useful to take notes, or review parts of this video at a later point. Maybe even take a break in between and think about what was said. When you have this information locked in your brain, you will be unstoppable :D

Hopefully you've enjoyed the information.
