 So you're a fantastic beautiful beast and I know I always tell you how amazing you guys are but today I wanted to show you just how much you guys have rocked the living hell out of my world. So I never went into these tutorials expecting anything and there was a few reasons for that but the big one was my entire teaching philosophy revolves around delivering the highest quality content possible in the shortest amount of time absolutely free. That's what I believe in and I try very hard to stick to that format. The problem with that format is YouTube does not support short videos. YouTube rewards longer views and that is why you see a surplus of ridiculously long tutorials for everything here online. The second reason is because I'm not willing to make the videos longer than they need to be so generally I don't accept sponsors who require me to inject one minute of scripted dialogue into my tutorials which GoFigure was basically most sponsors. So my style wasn't supported by the algorithm and the format was not compatible with sponsors. So pretty much a guaranteed way to fail on YouTube but I was cool with it. You guys really loved the content and that was more than enough for me. I'm just saying the fact that we even made it this far is absolutely amazing. In January we had 115 subscribers. In April we broke 500 and that blew my mind but then the next month in May we broke a thousand and then in August we broke 10,000 and now last month we have somehow doubled that to 20,000. Now I still don't know quite exactly how or where you guys are coming from but I just wanted to let you guys know that you are the single most incredible miracle of my life. There is nothing I enjoy more than posting a video and having fun interacting with you guys down in the comments. That is literally the highlight of my day and I always look forward to it. So thank you so much for being a part of that. Some of you guys have gone the extra mile and started supporting me on Patreon and just last month we met our first goal at 50 and with that we were able to create a small website where you guys can download the stuff that you see in the tutorials. It's still being worked on but right now I've already uploaded the procedural node textures and pretty soon I'll be posting things like models, rigs and game design programming code for young developers. So please take a second to appreciate the beautiful names on the screen who single-handedly made this site possible for you guys to enjoy. Patreon has been a big game changer for me because I ended the YouTube scene pretty late. Believe it or not this channel didn't get monetized till basically three months ago. We just barely got off the ground and I didn't make too much to begin with but the idea that the little I do make will be at the mercy of Copa next month is kind of scary. So if you like these tutorials and you would like to see me do this as a full-time job consider joining the squad. I keep it real simple I don't want anyone going broke supporting me so there's only two tiers. First there's a $1 tier which puts you on the VIP list of people who can vote on the direction of what tutorials they'd like to see and your name will go on the front page of the website as a proud sponsor of the show. The last tier is a $5 tier and the biggest difference between tier one and tier two is tier two gets to see what I'm working on behind the scenes. I do a lot of things in between each tutorial sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but the people in tier two can see what I'm up to and usually know what's coming up next before everyone else. Also tier two people will have the name engrained on the main menu of all future game projects which as you might have been able to tell is in the making and coming up later next year. Right now we're at 100 but if we can hit 500 I'll purchase connect motion capture software and make tutorials teaching you how to create a rig that is compatible with motion capture so you can record animations for your own characters. I'll also put my personal rig on the side up for download to help those of you who just want to animate without learning how to rig. I would love to do this full time and if we can hit that final stretch goal it might actually be able to do it. That means you'd get more content faster and I'd be able to take requests more often after comments I see after each video. But don't worry if you can't afford to be a patron you can still literally send me support by just letting the ads run when you see him. I do my very best to make sure that you guys only get skippable ads but if you just sit there and look pretty for 30 seconds while the ad plays you will rock my world. Regardless I just wanted to let you know you guys are what makes this channel special and I take the support you have for me very seriously and I will do my absolute best to make sure that in the next six months you will know everything I've learned about 3D software in the last 14 years. All right so you guys kind of caught me in the middle of some weapons testing but since you're already here let's see if we can hit those targets. Ah should have packed another map. Yeah whatever. Well I'd say that one's pretty good thank you so much for watching I hope you guys had fun with this as always hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.
