I want to thank you two for the knowledge you pass on, I read the 12 free articles MULTIPLE times, it's probably the best free "tutorials" from the internet, they're easy to read, easy to understand and most of all they are clean and straight to the point, and I want to congratulations you for it, I learn so much from it that it would be stupid not to aknowledge you two for it.

Just wanted to say thank you so much for the informative blog posts! I've been using Corona with Cinema4d for many many years now, and have been using HDRIs wrong all this time! I always thought Peter's HDRIs were just too hot and burned out my scenes. My solution was to just lower exposure to death. In reading your article, it's like a whole new world of lighting has opened up for me. This information isn't laid out clearly anywhere else - so thank you!

Last week I discovered the commonpoint site (via the creativelighting course) and I have to say that it is by far one of the most didactic and clearest sites about infographics. At first, I was planning to subscribe to your free courses, but after reading your high quality blog posts, it is obvious that I will choose the paid option. I've been working as an architect for about 12 years and I've been learning archviz on my own for 6 years in my spare time. Discovering passionate people like you is extremely encouraging especially in moments of doubt.
