When I started this, I had watched the Blender videos on their site. It gave a good overview, but I really had no clue what I was doing. I'm only halfway through this course, and I am already creating meaningful art! I'm having a lot of fun, and my kids (10 and 13) have both decided they want to learn along with me. I can't wait to finish this course, so I can move on to the Launch Pad. TLDR; Awesome and fun learning experience. Zach introduces the basics slowly enough to learn, yet at a good pace to stay interested and challenged. Most of all, it's fun!
