Very good course, the teacher explains well

By Cloud Li on 7/17/2020

Course is outdated, everything is done the slow way, meaning basic blender keyboard shortcuts which make a 5 minute instruction into a 20 second thing are missing. Bought this hoping I'd learn something new, 'making guns for games' is a joke, sorry to sound rude but if you went to a company showing a gun with the recoil plate, ejection port and bolt on both sides of the gun, they would laugh at you and tell you to go do your research before just grabbing a picture off google and trying to make a gun out of it. Very unprofessional and setting anyone up who doesn't know better for failure. I cannot recommend this course to anyone.

this was an amazing teaching, you rhythm makes everything so clear to understand, I'm happy with the result, even when your versions are old I could translate every tool, thank you so much!

Amazing course! Thank you for sharing this with us!

Outdated and hard to follow.

By Lance Rokusek on 6/12/2020

I found this course quite informative so far despite using Blender 2.8 and was able to follow along easily.

Darrin Lile's teachings never disappoint. His instruction is clear and the pace is perfect. He explains things really well. It's never monkey see monkey do style. This course is great for those who want to know the workflow of making 3d assets from Blender -> Substance -> Unity .

By Rafael Luiz Ferreira Reis on 6/8/2020

Terrible, Sorry, I mean... he teaches well blender, but you shoulnd't get this course in 2020. Its abandoned, he uses things that aren't avaiable to everyone like substance Source (I'm a steam user)
He is clear while talking, and easy to understand, even if you don't speak english natively... but yet, he is still way too slow.
Got this course expecing to learn texturing and porting models to unity. Sadly what he teaches in unity is also really barebones too.

By Rodrigo Alonzo on 5/21/2020

The course itself is outdated and abandoned (teacher no longer answers questions). Right now it seems to be suited for people that have a working knowledge of Blender and that don't mind troubleshooting every 10 minutes or so. The fundamentals are solid, and it's the only thing holding this course together.

By Dylan Burke on 5/15/2020

I wish the course was updated for blender 2.8 The UI Changed entirely with that Update. So im having to kind of figure my way around the new UI to do the same things he is.
