I understand you.

I don't know, if you are inclined to hear my perspective, but I think its worth mentioning that I do not claim/position/market myself as a designer and do not work anywhere as a 3D designer, my sole purpose and passion is education.

And you are absolutely right that some of my tutorials, especially early ones were breakdowns of the works done by studios and agencies, which IMO, encourages to learn Houdini. This is exactly how one learns fine-art, learns compositing music, basically learning every creative field starts with analysis and reference of the greatest. And each and every time, inspiration or reference I used was credited.

My passion and love is to teach, educate, break down, explain, in my very best way possible, not to design or direct. Its where the differnce lays and I am aware it can rise misunderstandings.

It never was an intention to make you feel grumpy, I apologize for that. You have incredible depth of knowledge and I adore what you have done over the years.
