Excellent course, I'm very happy with my final product. The pacing is good. I've been sculpting for some time in blender, but still learned a couple new tricks. This is an excellent workflow to create stylized characters! I'll be 3d printing mine soon. I also usually pose with masks, and learning a more formal workflow with rigs was a good experience.

This course is very detailed about how to use sculpt tools in Blender. It's very informative and beginner friendly.

All good, but I also wanted to learn the retopology of the body as well, which is missing here for this course to be perfect.

The course is very precise and beginner friendly in my opinion. The lecturer gets to the point and doesn't waste time. Any time he does stop to explain it is usually to explain things that might feel odd to do. I didn't follow him along exactly but was able to create a really nice clean model and that's what I came to learn. Worth the money as before coming to this I was using youtube videos and just couldn't get as good work done as here.

I liked it. what's a pity is that textures and stamps weren't discussed in the sculpting. One last video also seems to be missing. but overall it was a good experience. thx

Really enjoying this course, I've wanted a good character modelling course for a while and I think this is easing in at a nice pace. Very easy to follow.

Excellent introduction to sculpting with Blender in my opinion. I think for absolute beginners, it might be a good idea to start with beginner modelling courses first, and once you have a good grasp of that, then this course should feel quite easy to follow along with, as this course might seem a little bit fast paced if you are completely new to using blender.

Very focused and fulfills 100% what I was looking for. I would recommend to everyone wanting to learn the fundamentals of sculpting in blender. Though I feel Jose to add a small lecture on what is needed to animate this character for simple short film as final character has too many polygons and it would be difficult to animate it. Also, what is needed to use this character in 3d games like Unity etc. These were my few recommendations. Thanks so much for this wonderful course.

This is exactly what I wanted! I just wish the Closed Captions were accurate, otherwise I love the pacing, clarity and tips.

Really good, a litttle hard to understand at times due to accent, but everything is being covered well and im happy to keep learning:)

i think this was pretty good my only recommendation would be to have you button presses displayed as i am deaf and the subtitle mess up a tad due to your accent. it isn't your fault i know it's the auto translates but displaying what buttons you press in the future would help.

É um bom curso, mostrando uma workflow interessante. Acho que é importante ter uma base de blender antes, já que algumas coisas não são tão explicadas para pessoas completamente leigas. Curti bastante e recomendo o curso.

Muito ruim. O professor não passa todos os comando e vai "contando" o que está fazendo sem mostrar quais ferramentas está usando. Péssima didática.
