si

By Claudia Garca on 7/1/2020

I like a lot the content, I am learning about very useful workflows and plug ins, but the course model can not be open by my 3d max and I am no able to follow correctly the course.

By Chapman Kan on 6/20/2020

Having taken the 3DS mastery course - which was amazing to follow along learning the basics of the software; this course cannot be judged the same way. As it does not allow one to follow along in a linear way. It skips many steps from point to point, and explains the key concepts rather than the physical steps to achieve results. It's great for portfolio builders whom already have some project or ideas at hand to view and improve their work, but unfortunately not for learners who would like to follow step by step to learn new techniques.

By Tuerdi Aikaibai on 6/14/2020

I wish there can be some more 3ds max tips for better controlling the model and make the modelling/fixing the geometry faster without accidental shift/destruction of the model we created or imported.
