I have completed the course and found it very professional. I have almost 100 courses on Udemy, and this is easily one of the best ones I have. I Love the way the teacher explains things clearly. I am really looking forward to his next one. He is in my opinion at AAA artist

Easy to follow and get some tips on how the artist thinks when creating cg and vfx shots. I'm new to Nuke but this helped me get familiar with it
