Blender Vintage Car Creation (Udemy.com)

While the instructor knew how to model, there were times he skimmed over some important points of the program. I learned the basics of using Blender, however as a car guy, the instructor’s lack of knowledge of cars was super annoying. He didn’t even know what a driveshaft is, he called it a “center axle” or he thought the turn signal lever was a latch on the dash.

Excellent course. The pacing of the lessons never made me feel lost or intimidated about the task at hand. Darrin took things step-by-step, and provided detailed explanations along the way. Although there’s plenty of detailed technical knowledge to be learned in this course, the biggest takeaway for me was the thought process that goes into a professionally modeled object – everything from gathering reference photos to organizing your scene. After completing the course, I used my model as part of a web project where you can change the paint/seating/interior color– check it out here: https://cartuhok.github.io/1952-Nash-Healey-Roadster/

Sehr guter Kurs, herauszuheben ist das der Autor ein Faible dafür hat, sehr genau zu arbeiten. Dieser Workflow ist ein guter Ansatz für meinen Eigen Flow, bis dato arbeitete ich in meinen Projekten etwas nachlässiger, dieses wird ab diesem Kurs in eine andere Richtung gehen. Der Kurs ist zu 100% zu empfehlen es bringt allen ob Anfänger oder schon ein alter Hase in Blender etwas und was ganz wichtig ist er bringt viel Spaß

初めて一台の車をモデリングしました。私自身は初心者でしたが、無事に完成することができました。 とても丁寧なチュートリアルで動画を通して車両を作成していくことで、基本的な操作やモデリングの基礎的な考え方を学ぶことができてとても満足しております。合わせて英語の勉強もできました。 I modelled one car for the first time. I was a beginner myself, but was able to complete the project successfully. I was very happy to learn the basic operations and the basic ideas of modelling by creating the vehicle through videos with detailed tutorials. I was also able to learn English at the same time. I would like to challenge myself to create my favourite vehicle. Thank you very much!

This is the course that finally unlocked Blender for me. I’ve taken other classes on Udemy and elsewhere, but when it came to applying what I learned to my own Blender projects, I sometimes struggled, and felt I was fighting with the toolset and building components far more complex than they needed to be. Thanks to this course, I’m more confident in my ability to break down a project into its core components and understand a variety of approaches for building each part as I go. One thing I really appreciated was the instructor’s informal and friendly teaching style – for a project as technical as this appears (at least for a newbie like me), he uses a lot of basic techniques to rough things out and refine individual elements while bringing it all together, so the whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts. There’s quite a bit of repetition towards the middle of the course when you’re building out the interior of the car, but I found it super useful, because it helped me internalize the process of building what I see, and creating the right amount of detail based on how things will be depicted in the final render(s). There were chapters along the way where I messed something up, or realized I had done something earlier the wrong way – but by that point, I understood how to rebuild or fix my mistakes based on everything I had learned to that point. That may have been the most valuable lesson of all. I can’t recommend this course highly enough.

As an architect, I've taken Blender courses and used Blender for modeling architectural scenes. I took this course to find out what would be involved in creating a car with all those shapes and curves, and hopefully, discover new Blender processes and tips. I must say I was not disappointed. This is an excellent course and the instructor's explanatons were clear and to the point. The pace of the course is just right. There are a lot of sections, but that is to be expected considering the amount of work required to produce the car. I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to improve their Blender skills.

It was a great journey, thank you very much. I changed a few things a bit, like the tire treads to make them more vintage (just a little). Some things were a headache, like the back of the car with that Shrinkwrap.. (just a smidge). But overall, I managed fine. But in general, I want to learn how to make mid-poly game models of cars, and convert them, say, to GTA SA, but I could not find a detailed course specifically in this direction on the Internet.

I found this course to be very well laid out and it proceeded at a decent pace for me and my abilities. In modelling this vintage car I was introduced to different methods and techniques that I found to be very interesting and useful. The teacher speaks in a very precise way and it was easy to understand what was being said. Overall I found it a very informative course and I am very pleased with the results.

Really good instructor . Not afraid to make mistakes . Uses surprisingly few tools to make this model from the very start to a presentable product at the end. He touches on the main details of blender which allow to explore yourself. I found myself taking no notes because the explanations for doing tasks were clear. I ended up adding more details to enhance the model. Detailed the windscreen, added exhaust, changed screw head types, spent a while trying to get the rear wings correct, windscreen wipers. It would have been nice to see theses extra details, but having said that he leaves you with enough confidence to add them in yourself. Great course great explanation for shrink wrap , so useful for cars. The length of the course is great. It’s good to see the quantity of chapters and the length of the chapters make you feel you really have got value for money. I’ve bought most of the sessions from this instructor, as they are great. Will try my own version of car now as to apply the techniques I’ve learned. Thanks very much for your efforts.

There are quite a few Blender trainers on Udemy that I really enjoy, but it's always Darrin's courses I recommend the most to people and his I look forward to the most. If you are new to Blender you can't go wrong with any of Darrin's courses, although I do recommend his later courses that use the recent versions of Blender for absolute beginners. After you get a feel for how to use the current version of Blender, the older courses can offer techniques that you can easily adapt to the newer versions of Blender.
