I have done some of Grants other courses on here, as well as following him on YouTube, and once again he is amazing! He is a fantastic teacher and it's obvious that he is very passionate and knowledgeable about Blender. I already knew how to use Blender before doing this course so I didn't learn much from the first bit of it, but from Section 3 onwards it has been invaluable to me. Before doing this course I wasn't sure how to approach making a low poly character, but thanks to Grant I now have the knowledge to do that quite easily. Thanks Grant!

Section 1-3 unnecessary in my opinion, way too simple stuff wasting course time, other than that I love the course & Grant's way of teaching

This course is simple, concise and it teaches you how simple it can be to model and animate 3D characters. The instructor is calm, engaging and his explanations are clear. Also you have plenty of opportunities during the course to practice everything you learn.

This course does a fantastic job at supplementing gamedev.tv's other beginner blender course. I would personally recommend checking the blender basics course out first, but if you insist on starting with this one, you'll do okay. Gamedev.tv's teaching style is one of the reasons I frequent so many of their courses. They start by showing you how to do something, then challenge you to do it again, or something similar yourself, offering the solution afterward. It has been quite effective for me, and if you're looking to learn 3D modeling for games, this is a great way to do it.

If you're not sure about transitioning to 3D or learning how to make models for your characters, TAKE THIS COURSE. Don't even fool with the bigger ones until you have. This course will save you precious time and make you fall in love with the process! I would say I'm a novice at Blender3D. I have played around in the software for many years now but never took it seriously enough to learn tangible character creation skills and stuck with 2D exclusively... This course has made me feel much more confident about the long journey ahead, learning other various techniques pertaining to modeling, sculpting, and animating my characters as I transition from a 2D to 3D artist and designer! The pacing of this course is fantastic and really shows grants attention to detail and ability to quickly and elegantly explain concepts before moving on. I am so happy to have taken the dive on completing this course, even though it is bitesized and on the beginner side of things.

I already followed Grant's work from his YouTube channel. His way of explaining is really clear and on spot. Can't recommend it enough, for beginners and intermediate 3D artists looking to level up their game in simple characters modeling.

Very coherent, easy to follow guides but not just information dumps. Grant takes pauses and gives the opportunity to actually learn by setting mini tasks for people to do when the video is paused.

This is a great course that covers low poly character modelling in depth, and will enable you to create your own characters. If I could change one thing, I would have had more on rigging and animation. I understand there are other courses by the same team that cover this, but they're based on high-poly models and just don't fit what I'm looking for right now. Don't let that put you off though, this course will definitely help you learn to build low-poly characters!

Your lessons are easy to follow. I was confused to understand the x, y, z view but you show me in simple way. With the object, I recognise what I was very slow in learning and can finish my first job completely. Thanks a lot.

This was a fun, bite-size course. I wish there was a better way to decide which GameDev.tv courses to take since many of the skills taught in this class were also covered in the blender beginners course.

Love the course, huge help in improving my modeling, as well as setting up my figures to pose and 3D print.

Love it! At 54 learning new skills like 3D may be a challenge, but the teacher makes it fun, and in a nice gentle pace. I particularly like that you don't get overwhelmed at the start with explanations of everything in the UI. Just starting to create and learn along the way. Thnx!

I have been using Blender for a long time and follow many different courses. After watching your advanced courses, this course was not impressive for me. I bought it thinking I would find more types of low poly character design in this course. Of course your education is good. I broke your point because I couldn't find many low poly examples in it. But that doesn't mean I won't take your other courses :D
