It's a really good course. It was cool to see that the instructor was interested in his work and he was excited to teach us. The basics of Zbrush were covered, no unnecessary stuff, and there was also a lot of useful advice outside of Zbrush. The only section that confused me a bit was the HardSurface helmet. The techniques shown in the video were a bit strange, no matter how much I tried, I could not achieve the necessary, smooth and clean shapes with the brushes. A few videos on youtube showed me more tricky, but actually simple ways to create HardSurface elements. However, this did not significantly affect my learning, as most of the Hardurface section is more than understandable. On average, it took me about 4 times longer to complete than the author (even though I tried to do things my way, not too much like the author). Also for me, as a foreigner who is not fluent in English, the course was very clear, the author uses understandable vocabulary and expresses himself clearly. I can strongly recommend the course to those who want to get acquainted with Zbrush.

I love the tone he maintains while speaking, really helps keep me excited and interested in the subject. He has been very clear and easy to understand so far.

He doesn't follow the proper teaching protocols at all, he randomly does things and doesn't even care to explain how these small things are being done, there are so many things that I have to google in this course!!

Finally arrived at the 5th chapter of the course, I feel ready to do a review. I will preface this by saying that not only is this my first zbrush course but it is my first digital sculpting course that I am taking. The course is PERFECT, the teacher is great and always gives additional tips as well as explaining what needs to be done. I highly recommend this course

The best Zbrush course for beginners on Udemy and I've tried a few. This one was fun, well edited, and easy to understand. Highly recommend for beginners getting into zbrush.

Amazing course, I learned how to interface easily with the software and, in doing so, I had the chance to experiment without problems or frustration.

This whole course went above and beyond. I needed a course that would catch me up to speed fast and this whole course was well worth the money. What I enjoyed about this was the different chapters and how we applied what we learned into these fun little projects throughout the course. The teacher covered ALOT of what ZBrush has to offer pretty thoroughly, was a single time I got lost. It was fun and easy to follow along. A must have course for those wanting to get started with ZBrush

Hacía tiempo que no tocaba el programa así que ha sido un buen curso con el que repasar conceptos y ponerme al día. Es verdad que en algunos aspectos me habría gustado que se hubiese parado más (por ejemplo, en el tema del renderizado), pero se toca prácticamente todo lo importante.

yes, it was a good experience, just the mentor is speaking really fast and the last chapter is not up to the mark.

So far it's been a very solid course that covers just about everything you need to know. Learning Zbrush is very hard, and at first it was difficult to experiment with it on my own time. I'm only 20% done and I'm already comfortable with the program, and I've also started working on some of my own projects. SOLID course and I do recommend it to more people.
