What our customers say about this course
Lorand Cristian I.
This course is amazing. Pleasant voice with enough patience to cover everything enough times until it stucks in your head. But I'm stuck at section 9 demo, the sculpting part. The difficulty ramps up here, hopefully I'll be able to sculpt at basic levels soon.
Ricardo R.
I was really skeptical at first, but now I'm three days into the course and my Blender skills have improved drastically. Because blender is open source and it has thousands of features, the learning curve is pretty steep, but do not feel intimidated because you are in the good hands of someone who will show you the way in a manner that is engaging, simple and dare I say Fun!
Erica N.
SO far so good. I'm learning a bunch. This was a nice lesson!!!
Pamela A.
excellent teacher, spends extra time to explain and make things perfect, covers everything in Blender. Amazing!
Robert D.
Very in-debt beginner training. You'll be ready to model probably any object are environment after finishing the course. Thank you.
Robert A. S.
I love the simplicity and patience that the instructor has towards something that at first look is very overwhelming.
Jonathan
Very thorough explanations and very easy to follow. Blenders interface was always something that put me off using it but now I'm getting the hang of it, thanks to this course.
Filiz S.
Very well explained. I knew already the most of the concepts but this course helped me improving my knowledge and updating on newer version of Blender.
Ali S.
the explenation is perfect and the lesson good for beginners , its help full for any beginner use blender
Ruslan
I've got a gold -worth knowledge here. Thank you
Joseph M B.
The best course on blender Ive seen so far. She is easy to understand, speaks clearly, explains what she means.
