I believe that a great artist is a person who knows how to inspire and motivate others. Nobody was ever born with an ability to make good art, but everybody has to start somewhere.
I'm a 3D artist with 15 years of industry experience. I specialize in photoreal 3D animation and matchmoving but have worn many hats over the years.
My skills includes : modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting and rendering, dynamics simulations, particles.
I like photograpy, my beloved bass, videogames and trash movies.
My toolset includes:
3DS Max
Vray (advanced plug-in renderer)
Syntheyes (matchmoving)
Photoshop
After Effects

It's not that you can't learn anything from this if you are a beginner, but it's an unstructured course by an inexperienced artist who shares what little knowledge he had acquired up to that point. It's commendable that he did go through the trouble of creating a course, but it's also very unpolished, basically unedited footage and it's old. There is just too much better stuff out there both for free and for cheap.

Content covered in the course is decent and the instructor seems to have a good grasp on what he's doing. There's a few things that could have been better though. While this title is decent with its focus on box modeling a character, having a little bit on UV Mapping and Sculpting would have been nice, as those are needed for many production pipelines (games, animation, illustration). Being more descriptive with the title of each video would have helped in setting expectations. Also explaining why some choices were made would have been helpful to learning. There's also a number of quality control issues throughout the videos and things that clearly should have been edited out, but weren't: mistakes, conversations with people who came in the room, sneezing. Those issues make for a disjointed and, at times, confusing learning experience.

Sí, me ha gustado bastante, aunque a veces no habla claro y no se entienden los comandos

Although I've used Blender for about two years now, and am fairly familiar, I haven't used it consistently enough to be incredibly savvy. I have found this course to provide better methods of how to go about anything affiliated with Blender. I think it's also awesome for someone who is a skilled modeler or a concept artist, because it allows one to integrate Blender easily.

Clear and concise are the first words that come to mind while describing this course. The workflow is comprehensive and covers a wide variety of techniques. The videos are high quality and show virtually every step in the process. Aimed at the intermediate to advanced artist, the course is an excellent addition to any 3D technical skills.
By Emanuel Mooney on 5/4/2019
I am totally satisfied with this course. It contains excellent information on modeling in Blender and it assumes the student has a basic knowledge of the software. The lessons in this course are easy to follow and take you through the process of creating amazing work for your portfolio.

I've been using Blender for less than a year, but this course is an extremely valuable resource. The instructor explains the tools to the very last detail and I found myself using this course not only to create realistic looking models, but stylized ones as well.
By Deborah Baus on 4/18/2019
If you are just starting out with Blender or already a master, this course can be beneficial in directing new ways of working within the world of this program. An excellent course full of practical professional tips and techniques.
By Ainhoa Eloy on 4/14/2019
I love it! The course is enticing and easy to understand. Blender is a hard software to get around but at least this course gives us steps and workflows as in a recipe while explaining how the tools work and the overall structure.
By Victor Hugo dos Santos on 4/14/2019
Veja bem, achei muito bacana que tenha disponibilizado o curso gratuitamente na Udemy, e que apesar de poder encontrar várias video aulas no Youtube, na Udemy eu adquiro um certificado de conclusão de curso, o que é bacana. Mas não achei tão didático, visto que um desavisado sem qualquer contato com a ferramenta poderia iniciar essa série como sendo a primeira. Quantidade de conteúdo para um primeiro vídeo foi boa, porém muito jogado de uma vez, sabe? Me pareceu que me foi dado sem uma ordem certa, e com alguns atalhos e janelas essenciais faltando. Parece bom, mas dá para melhorar.
