I'm very happy that many things are explained in a way that is both comprehensive and easy to follow. While I am no stranger to cg tools, Maya has always caused me issues and it is easy to get lost in the menus > sub-menus > sub-sub-menus ... then try to find it all again.

you are actually amazing, I found you off of Youtube from your retopology video. It's a lot easier to mirror instead of duplicate mirroring when drawing the retopology quads. I've learnt so much more from him than my 3 year university course... in the introduction videos.

I really enjoyed the way you teach, I'll definitely do the 3D modeling but due to the version of my laptop I can't continue doing the texturing and rendering, And this will be my only regret.

Thank you very much for this course, it is very useful! It took me for 5 month I suppose, but I had little time with my 2 old baby.

Love the substance painter section and the modeling section. The blocking out part with making sure the models have the right aspect ratio was a bit hard for me to understand.

amazing course. very good and clear explanation, i managed to follow each step and now have good understanding of all process
By Alfie Gunter on 12/6/2022
very helpful and informative. It is helping me to consider and think about my approach. I think the Zbrush section could be a bit more detailed, as I got confused at points about the interface.

Amazing course, I'm learning some new things to speed up my modelling skills :)

I come here after completing the other tutorial, "Maya for Absolute Beginners : Complete Course". I can see what I learn there is being used here, there are new tricks too, the instructions are very clear. thank you for teaching.

I love all of his courses! Very much straightforward, fast talking speed (saves a lot of time), and the course covers everything. I'm taking other courses of Abraham and they're all great! Highly recommend!
