Great course for modelling different king of 3d assets. Appreciate the effort put into these 3dsmax intermediate lessons. Keep up the good work Adam!

disoppointed old version
By Luka aki on 3/11/2020
The course is what I was looking for. I especially liked the UV unwrapping part because Adam makes the workflow simple to understand.
All in all, love Adams tutorials. He sounds friendly and relaxed and eases you into the lectures. Rarely does things without explaining what he clicked and why is he going to do this and that.
If you want to improve your modeling skills this is a great class.
By Gerard on 2/11/2020
Instructor is very good, should be playback speed control within the user interface like You Tube and LinkedIn Learning have so that students can slow down the instructions as needed. Also instructor could be more clear regarding how he can use the vertex mode from the right view to extrude polygons, still a mystery to me but used a work around.

As Usual Great presentation with lot of valuable Information

struggling to follow along
By Pablo Quintana on 7/27/2019
The resolution should be improved to 1080p at least. Also, the audio levels are all over the place when changing chapters.

good course
By Ross Cameron on 4/25/2019
This course is great, and I really like Adam's teaching style.
He speaks slowly and clearly, which allows me to go 1x when i need to follow along or really see something, and all the way up to 1.5x without much distortion.
His lessons are clear and after having taken his intro course and this one, I'm pretty comfortable with the basics of 3ds Max.
I do wish he was able to cover retopo in a bit more depth, and get in to the weeds of some of 3ds' more advanced functions, but good overall.
I'd recommend this and the intro course to anyone transitioning to 3d modeling from another creative profession, you'll become quickly familiar with the UI and functions, as they closely follow (at least logically) Photoshop, Illustrator, AfterEffects, etc.
