That SAT video is the sort of thing I'd normally never watch but I did because I've been following Wirtual since before he blew up, and it's kind of neat to see him enter the larger youtuber sphere. It was pretty good!

"The final 20% of work on anything will only be 2% of the final product, so just declare it done and invest that time into the next project" is fantastic advice.
Warning: does not apply to software or security thereof
Have you looked at most software interfaces? It absolutely applies and is done in spades.
That doesn't make it good advice!

Also this channel, Outgang, is pretty great in the same way that channels like New Frame Plus are for animation. Even if you don't give a shit about the technical side it's an edutaining watch.
It is. The SAT is not! Since it was literally created by IQ-citing eugenicists to justify their belief that minorities are mentally inferior. IQ was also created for this purpose. The biggest predictor of what a person's SAT score will be is what ZIP code they live in.
Naturally it was Reagan who brought them back to popularity and made them so key to the modern education system.
I'm so happy I finished standardized testing before they added an essay to the SAT.

Special shout out to Maya, a program that allows you to code in it's own proprietary MEL or Maya Embedded Language which the program is also built out of. It's sort of the software equivalent of that line from the Venture Brothers...

That's not Uncle Sam, it's me! Wouldn't lay a glove on it if it weren't. I can only move things in the material world that bear my image. Wait! That penny in your pocket, Dean! I was able to get that through the forcefield! That's it!

We build a gun made out of pennies!
Lincoln's Ghost:
Exactly! Wait, no, that's insane!
It's important to adjust the layout in your tabs and then save your preferences so you can have a nice neat setup.
Then you can make a goddamn mess in the node editor.
(This is actually a pretty clean node setup for me.)
I was gonna say, that's a nice well laid out shader node tree actually
Yeah, it's just layering SDFs on top of each other. Someone recently put out an add-on that has one of the more comprehensive lists of 2d SDFs that I've found and when you tab into those nodes they look like:

Less and less so over time though, Blender's cheap as free knockoff tools have come a long way since they first added sculpting.
Zbrush is a weird program with a long and complicated history though and that really shows in how much vestigial content is still in there.

Which is him translating:
float sdMoon(vec2 p, float d, float ra, float rb ) { p.y = abs(p.y); float a = (ra*ra - rb*rb + d*d)/(2.0*d); float b = sqrt(max(ra*ra-a*a,0.0)); if( d*(p.x*b-p.y*a) > d*d*max(b-p.y,0.0) ) return length(p-vec2(a,b)); return max( (length(p )-ra), -(length(p-vec2(d,0))-rb)); }and gosh bless him.
