Create an Animated Character in Blender 2.9 (Udemy.com)

Im loving this course! This is such a great course, its so out of my comfort zone but some how the professional and laybacked teaching style really works for me. This course is one of the best courses in my journey learning 3d and i certainly will be buying more of your courses. So thankyou and keep up the amazing work. I just hope when i finish my model and animation looks at least something like youve taught especially if the mouth works as intended . Then that's a win win for me.once again Great work

This is the most excellent course. I have learned so much from this. I haven't done the final animation yet, but looking forward to it. If you don't own this course and want to learn just about everything about modeling, uv unwrapping, texturing, rigging, and animation, then this is the course for you.

Very good course. I had done some box modelling before but never this approach which looks to mimic face muscle structure and go from 2D to 3D structure. Further enhances my skills of character modelling and Blender knowledge. Does rigging and animation as well.

Good instructor but little explanation of the choice of seams in the UV Mapping section. Also got a little lost in the texture painting so left out adding the stripes for the time being. Hair section is easier to follow

Good for anyone wanting to create an animated character but has some level of familiarity with Blender or, similar software, so maybe more suited for intermediate to advanced students. However if you're up for the challenge then give the course a try, as I'm fairly new to Blender coming from a 3D software that's just too expensive. Darrin is professional, approachable, helpful and appears to have plenty of experience in using the software. He was often responsive to my queries however there were some instances where I never got a response thus I wasn't able to fix a problem with my character even when I tried Google. The other issue was the keyframes, where he skipped several steps from one video to the other. I wasn't keen on that method and would've preferred a complete walkthrough as this was the first time I'd used it. Some of the methods used, to build and animate the character, can be long winded or complex and can take a while to complete, depending on your schedule and how powerful your machine is. It requires patience.

Love this course! Mr. Lile does a great job of taking the time to explain everything in detail so you can follow along and work as he is working or watch the whole thing and go back in and try it yourself. Looking forward to the animation section!

Ce cours est une excellente introduction à l'animation d'un caractère. Le formateur utilise les techniques de base qui permettent de ne pas se perdre avec les fonctionnalités avancées de Blender tout en ayant une sympathique animation à la fin!

omg, its a great course, but make one tiny mistake or miss something, you pay for it later!!! sometimes, yyou go a bit fast and i can miss a small point and i get messed up , have to keep going back over it, but i learn well that way i suppose, thanks

Impressive course. The instructor described every step clearly and slowly. I'm an absolute beginner and was able to follow through the course without problems. He used Blender Cloud to get the textures (paid subscription) but they're few and simple enough so I was able to find substitutes on other websites. I'm very happy with the instructor's method of teaching and expect to see more courses.

I'd originally given this course a 5 star rating, but the section on weight painting made it clear that the author's workflow is not optimal for character creation. In my opinion, had he done the rigging and weight painting while the character was still complete and mirrored *before* UV unwrapping and texture painting he (and I) would have avoided a lot of unnecessary work. Other than the workflow problem the course is still well done.
