the above pictures are HIS and mine and they are labeledâŚHIS is the better looking one obviouslyâŚmine doesnât have the shadows and the textures that his does. pls guide me as to how I make them look identical so I could follow the tutorial more closely. Thank you and have a nice day.
He has been using Blender 2.79 . You are using Blender 2.93 . So he is certainly using WorkBench renderer (or Blender Renderer as I think it has been called back then) while you are using Eevee I guess. So the difference is to be expected.
You can try using different matcaps, in particular one with elongated hilights to better see the shape.
