Has been good detail.

By Tristan on 11/14/2020

Yes, I learned a lot of things even though I'm experienced like shift Z for scale to cancel out the Z and Right click when Duping to put it in the same place as your mesh that you duped with. 4 and 1/2. I did that rating because i know most of the stuff, but I learned stuff.

Being a fan of Grant's YouTube channel this was a must buy, and so far I've been getting the same level of quality as on the videos on his channel. Loving the course.

By Coby Jeck on 11/14/2020

This is a great course and very good but there is one thing that could make a difference in my review to make it 5 stars, because it is a 5 star course. The thing I could recommend is adding lectures on importing to unreal engine and controlling the animations in unreal engine, other than that, its a really great course.

Bis hierhin sehr gut.

Great so far! Will update the review once I finish the course.

By John Fragos on 11/14/2020

Excellent pace and excellent explanations. I'm learning a lot.

By Felix Dondera on 11/14/2020

Excellent course, I was hesitant to buy it because I wasn't so much interested in character sculpting, but I've decided to give it a go. I was pleasantly suprised to find low-poly modelling as well (to get warmed up to the tools) and also concepts for vehicle design and game object design. It was really fun to design my own mech. The teachers, Grand and Rick, are excellent as well and they have a great way of teaching, giving students small assignments and letting the students try to remember commands before showing how it's done. In this way, you really end up learning and not just following instructions. Great value, highly reccomend it!
