This is very awesome. I assume these techniques will also apply to Karma.

hey Kays. You can also safely assume that Karma will get its own series, with more examples and setups.

thank you, these video-playlist is fantastic.

Are you planning to cover more shader-writing especially for NPR-Renderings?

I’m looking for some tuts on how to make painterly shaders like this one found here under: “Experimental: “Painterly” - http://www.lollipopshaders.com/case-studies/9to3animation/ [www.lollipopshaders.com]

@zauberberg This could happen when I'll get to Karma series, simply put: currently time constraints are working against me and the Mantra workshop. And thanks for the warm feedback.

I second the petition from @zauberberg, Some tutorials on shaders building would be great. But I completely agree it will make more sense once Karma beta is released. AFAIK, Mantra will receive only bugfixes from now on
