Absolutely valuable. So many new things learned. Still, steep learning curve - I needed to repeat lessons as I am a true beginner. The course is more than just a simple software course, gives a very good understanding of what to do overall. I just love it.

I only bought this course for the baking process, and found that this was extremely helpful with sending from Zbrush to Substance. Very happy about buying this course.

For me what was important and what I'm looking for a good course to understand the good topology, maps, and the texturing methotds. If you never used Substance and Marmoset before, don't be afraid David share every useful information about them too. Thank you for the detialed course!

For me - as a non-Englishman - it was very helpful. The pronunciation was clear and I could even understand a lot. Great teacher. I have almost all tutorials from him. Many Thanks Translated with Googletranslate

I learned a ton, and I can finally move on to my own projects in terms of gaming, what I do wish he did was to cover more topology, maybe take a picture of his and add it as a resource so beginner students could learn more this way. but beside that best course on this topic on Udemy

The course seemed very good to me since it clearly explains each step, especially I liked the use part of the zmodeler

I enjoy the fact he explains everything he does, including what keys he is pressing on the keyboard. Also why he is doing the things he does.

Great Course! Went from nothing to Minion showing the complete work flow. Takes the time to go through the details of UV Mapping, Texturing, and exporting. Shows how to export and set up both Substance Painter and Marmoset was perfect for my future workflows. Thanks for the great course!!

Overall the course was good. It was a bit simplistic (from the standpoint that the minion is a fairly simple model) for my knowledge level, however, he does say multiple times in the intro that it is a primer for more advanced courses. I am a fairly experienced ZBrush user but I learned a good amount of new techniques from this. If you are a beginner this course is great and you will learn a lot about the ZBrush workflow. If you are intermediate to advanced user you probably won't get as much out of it, that being said I did learn a few workflows I wasn't aware of. The only negative thing I have to say it sometimes it was a bit confusing because he showed 3-4 ways to do the same thing (i.e. Do it this way in maya, this way in zbrush, this way in substance, etc. Although that would be a bonus for someone who doesn't have and use all the tools, so I can understand why it was done)

its good to see how he fixes his own mistakes and explains how he made the mistake and how to correct them -- its easy to mess up while following and without any background on troubleshooting, listening along would be difficult
