PlusThis course covers a super interesting tool and subject, but unless I missed the caveat, it is more suited for PC users as it uses Windows-based software operations. For instance, the Particle Systems 1 class uses code shortcuts for building classes and sharing code across files only found in Visual Studio, making it very hard to follow along and participate on a Mac or Linux.
