*@Huân Lê-Vương* You can switch into local view by pressing numpad /

That shows you only the selected objects. You have to keep in mind that this does not automatically include light sources, though

*@Simon Thommes* thanks.

*@Karen Trevino* in 2.9?

i'm still using 2.83. if the node is a shader node, ctrl shift click will connect it directly to the output. for other types of node, it will connect the node to the viewer node (emission).

*@Huân Lê-Vương* Yes, this is how it is supposed to work. The viewer node is just an emission shader, so it is only needed to display non-shader types. But for a while now, Blender also supports plugging color outputs directly into the output node.

*@Peter K.H. Gragert* That is great! Nice to hear, you are getting into procedural shading :)

I am not sure I know what you are referring to with starting Blender Window.

After 1:17 I start with a default startup scene that is just slightly adjusted from the default one. You can set a custom startup layout in Blender under File -> Defaults -> Save Startup File. Looking back at it now, I should have started with the default startup scene.

About the face camera: I see what you mean! It is a matter of preference. When I was to deciding to leave it out, I thought that it might be too distracting to add it, especially in the more densely packed videos. I could have still done it in the slower workflow examples, but I did not think of that, and now the production of the course is almost finished.
