I had to ask a question or two and figure out right click select, but it got easier to understand as the course progressed.

Very good course, Instructor was very clear and easy to follow along with. Was able to walk away with a completed project to be proud of and a fun experience. Really feel like I have a decent handle on Blender and have the knowledge and tools to get what I want out of Blender. Because the course is a few years old, there are a few times where he says a tool or function is in one place when it's really in another after the Blender 2.8 update, but that's nothing a quick google search can't fix. The principles and tools are nearly identical, just with a new coat of paint. Thank you so much for this course!

I like the teacher and his energy but the classes are very out of date. Blender's layout seems to have changed a lot and I'm struggling to find any of the buttons that the teacher refers too. Additionally, I wish the teacher would show us the normal way of doing things as well instead of just showing the keyboard shortcuts. It feels like the teacher is trying to teach us how to run before we can walk.

I was doing this for a home-school course, I have not finished it yet but so far he has done an amazing job with teaching everything about it. but one thing is that this is blender 2.7 and not anything above 2.8 when the entire UI changed so it makes it hard to navigate some features. I also made one mistake that might cost me having to redo the mushroom character, i accidentally applied the subdivision surface modifier and now i can go back the file has already been saved and so I am 99% sure there is no way to fix that, but that was my fault. Overall he has done a great job guiding me through the course and teaching me everything about it I 100% recommend him for any starters

There is a lot of info which has been explained well, but few points which makes it tedious and very difficult to learn: the version is an old one, which yes i can search online and find easily the new way of doing things but makes it very time consuming. The instructions are very verbose and confusing a lot of times, it feels like they are not able to say properly what they mean. A lot of default settings has either changed in new version or in instructors blender, so it makes it confusing when their instructions, don't do what they are suppose to. Because of these reasons a simple lecture with very simple steps , takes a lot of time to comprehend and perform.

It's good though I have to go off and do a short youtube class sometimes! Me, not the course. I thought my MAC keyboard was different but I was clicking with G and couldn't get it working. Doh! Otherwise, great, lots of energy.

The course is amazing, learnt a lot which I didn't knew before. I request the instructor to add a section on compositing in blender.

Sorry i am really hoping that all the new courses are not going to be as annoying as this one. Content reasonable but the tutor positive attitude is so depressing. I wish I had done this course first when it came out! I would have blocked this level of annoying personality. it really takes the content and course un useable! I have to go do the latest courses he has done now that I bought I am actually dreading the courses if they are anything like this! Such a shame to waste time and money from our part and effort from the tutors to make good content not use able or enjoying. Content could be worth a 3 star!

Easy to follow tutorial that never gets boring. Alex's enthusiasm keeps the course engaging. He is truly a great teacher. He can be a bit over the top at times, but excellent overall.

it's understandable that Blender software got updated after this course was posted, but updated annotations where the shortcuts and placement of the different features would keep this course up to date and would make it easier on the student to use this course as a relevant reference in the future. great course though and I'm planning to finish it from start to end. thank you to the creator for sharing his knowledge.
