Monica 3D

Good course to get you started! From the description I was hoping to get more understanding of what it is we're actually doing in many of the videos, but they give you plenty of things to google if you need to know something in more detail. I tried getting into 3D modeling multiple times, never to much avail, but when I started this course I managed to stick to it and get somewhere. I got confident with my tools in blender relatively quick and managed to get really creative with my own model. You're lead through many basic principles by the tutor, for a basic understanding of what you're doing. My biggest gripe was how un-planned this course feels, with the tutor going back on her own words a couple of times a couple videos down the line, and he reference images sometimes being hard to work with. Another thing that really bothered me was how lackluster the weightpainting part is explanation wise, in contrast with how other things are shown in detail. Weightpainting isn't fun in general, but I had to really supplement the 3 videos on it with youtube videos, which made it feel like that last part was very rushed. With this course being 5 years old by the time I followed it, some stuff was unfortunately outdated, by no fault of the tutor That all being said, this course delivered on it's promise to teach how to make a full character from scratch, animation ready! I'm proud of myself, and have no regrets buying this course. If you're looking to learn this skill, I would absolutely still recommend this course!
