    So many words just for setting “clay” material in render layer.
    I’m not saying it is not important to know, but almost eight minutes is just too much for explanation.
    It can be said almost by one picture.

    No offense but this video was way longer than it needed to be. You ramble on way too much and go off on tangents unrelated to the purpose of the video. Get to the point.

    Other than that criticism, it’s a useful tip. You just took too long to finally get to it.

      Thank you for the feed back, i find there are many different opinions when it comes to the length, when it’s someone very new to blender they sometimes like it when the tutor explains in detail what we’re doing and why. where as someone more experienced to the CG world would enjoy a more speedy tutorial, i’ll try to find the balance. Thank you for the feedback, no offense taken ;)
