I've learned a lot more about lighting and shading in this class than
the other lighting and shading class about a year or so ago.
I've learned a bit more about UV mapping and how to photoshop more accurately using layers and Hue/Saturation tools.
I've
learned a lot about Glossy and Diffusing as well; with these in the
hypershade, it is much more easier to set up the lighting and darkening
of objects to help give it a glossy appeal like glass for example.
I've
actually explored some of the tools some time ago, but I've learned
more about the tools I've seen but never used. Most certainly something
that I can use on a need to know basis.
