MC Johnny is a wonderful teacher. His pedagogy is one of the best I have experienced so far for Houdini. He goes through multiple different options for creating the wheels before deciding on the best approach, explaining the reasoning along the way. He compares the workflow to other modeling programs to show differences. He has a very calming presence and every video is just a pleasure to watch. My only complaint is that some of the lessons could be a bit quicker but it's a small complaint that's easily remedied by putting it on 1.5x speed. Even still, I wouldn't recommend he remove any length as the conversation he has with the students is invaluable. I've just finished Section 8/20 and I already have his two other courses to watch when I'm done with this one. Great Job Johnny this is an amazing course!
