    I agree, honestly, nodes overwhelm the hell out of me. Even if I learn from a tutorial - I don't even know why I'm doing what I'm doing - I'm just rote learning. I want to learn how to learn nodes.

    ​@@spydergs07 Enabling the *Node Wrangler* addon is sooo helpful for this. Just *Ctrl-Shift-click* on any node to view its output on its own, and you can really see what it does & play around with the sliders. From there, it's mostly learning how textures can be combined in the MixRGB node, and the basics of shading in general - with or without nodes. ^^ Oh, and *Ctrl-T* adds a coordinate input, which again helped me to understand those better by letting me play around with them.

    Wow oh wow. It's a real joy to see one of my creations come alive. Hardest part wasn't the modelling, but the rigging. Took me over a month to get the cogs and pistons rotating like gimbals. I wasn't even sure you could put in a new armature for BVH motion capture stuff. But somehow you did it. Awesome stuff man.

    If a tracker is lost and you manually reposition it, hitting "refine" forward or backward will put it pretty much exactly where it's supposed to go. It reads the previous frame and takes the guess work out of matching. Great tutorial also!

    One trick that can help in compositing is add a light wrap effect. It's a blurred copy of the background that's blended over the cgi with a kind of gradient Halo matte. It helps blend the edges and color a lot.

    To the untrained eye perhaps, but the robot is casting a very faint shadow while the guy is casting a much stronger one. And the robot is very reflective but is not even reflecting the room. And black levels don't match. If this guy skills were so great then he would be working with the professionals you just put down, not recording tutorials on youtube with a mediocre software.
