Now you all know I love a *good* tutorial site. There’s a world of tutorials on the internet, but many of them fall into the all too simple traps of teaching in an online medium – not to get into these in too much detail but its usually things like planning, timing, length of lessons, approach, and demands of the user.
So I’m always thrilled when I come across a tutorial site that I feel really NAILS a topic and delivers it in a way that will bring new people to that field – that’s what tutorials are for after all right? enabling!! however buzzword / lame that sounds. The last time I encountered something like this it was the very excellent Video Copilot – if you want to learn visual fx in Adobe After Effects, this is the place to go – Andrew Kramer is the name to remember – he’s the guy making all the tutorials there, and mostly for free. I was once very happy to see a comment on one of my videos that called me the “Andrew Kramer of Unity tutorials” – I may not agree but I hope to aspire to that for sure.
So waffle aside let me introduce you to Matt Kohr, who has created this wonderful site ‘CTRLPaint.com‘ – if you want to get into painting with your tablet and photoshop then this is the place to start – its gotten me back into artwork and I’m really pleased with that – granted you’ll need a wacom tablet for this, but with the Bamboo tablet coming in at around £70 nowadays these things are more affordable – and if you’re planning on a career in any kind of IT – you should definitely ditch the mouse ASAP – trust me, its cured my previously rather bad RSI. So take a look at ctrl paint, and drop Matt some nice comments telling him what an awesome job he is doing please!
After many months of reworking, the update of my book, Unity Game Development Essentials, is nearly ready to unleash on the world!
