The instructor is good but the software is crap. Adobe didn't think thorough the way it built its 3d software and make it difficult to create with.

Step by step directions that are so easy to follow and unlocked stuff that I did not know possible in Photoshop.

Very well detailed explanation of the work area and different views and tools. A bit fast speaking required many pauses to catch up and follow, but over all, great quality content

It's challenging but just what I needed.

I'm new to 3D techniques and your course helps a great deal in Photoshop. Thank you. Much appreciated.

I have a bit of 3D PS knowledge, and he's confused what I thought I knew. He moves too quickly, with not enough explanation and clarification. He also really doesn't do a good job of explaining what he's aiming for as he goes along, nor the final result.

This is an excellent course.
By Michael Rytter on 6/28/2018
This was awesome so far! He is a great, very clear instructor....I am not entirely a photoshop newbie (Have been doing just basic stuff with Photoshop since Photoshop 3 many years ago), but this instructor has shown me that I was missing out on the true power of this software.... I had no idea! WOW!! Thank you!

Update: After first trying the course with CS5.1 and being unable to follow the instructor's particular workflow for the 3D aspects, I used a trial version of CC 2018, I therefore got more out of the course, this time so added 1/2 a star to my rating. Unfortunately some of the course was often still so fast paced that it was hard to follow along with. As a course aimed at intermediate users, I wouldn't expect a lot of basics to be covered, and they aren't, so beginners beware. However with the exception of the Mixer Brush introduction and the 3D interface video, there aren't many in depth explanations of any tools or techniques, intermediate or advanced. The whole thing feels very rushed and pretty unsatisfying.
