3 Year old version of Blender used. Tracking Material complete rubbish. As a beginner course for people who enjoy being frustrated.

I am using blender 2.83 and till now it seems to be a really good course.
My only complaint is that the instructor is not answering to the questions asked which leads to a delay in moving forward.

Great course, overall. It was very useful to me, I could finally learn how to insert 3D objects in films. The author is clear and knowledgeable. Some of the lessons could do with a bit of editing as they end a bit abruptly from time to time though.

By Newt Potter on 6/22/2020

The course is very easy to understand and is very helpful

By Charles Ocheret on 3/14/2020

Old version of Blender. Poor explanation of render layers and holdout shader. Too much modeling and too little VFX. Really, only composition and not VFX.

By Anuj Sharma on 2/14/2020

I finally made something cool by learning this !

By Agard Dorvil on 11/22/2019

Yes.

By Robert Jan de Pauw on 11/16/2019

Great course. I do struggle with tracking the footage in blender (2.8) i.e. getting a good solve. Otherwise it's really cool.

By Anthony Campbell on 9/20/2019

Yes, clear and concise instructions

By Michael Wohlwend on 8/20/2019

I like the course, until now it's a very good course.
The only minor thing is: while modeling, on some occasions only, I would like to get just a sentence to explain why he is doing something, f.e. changing the pivot point or such.
But, as said, I'm very happy with the course.
After completing the course I'm very happy about it. The presentation, the various chapters, the detail... very rich , very satisfying to finish it. I learned much from this course.
