First of, thank you, Zach, for this incredible course. Truly, this is the most comprehensive and interesting course out there. The amount of information, simplicity and practical approach is invaluable.
Don't get me wrong, there are other great courses online, but I will never forget this final animation we made together with Zach. I return to this course all the time when I need a refresher, because there's no way I can remember this much of information. But this will come with practice.
You and a team did such a simple-to-follow course on such a difficult topic. I wish you a good day and many other projects to accomplish.

During the courses you can ask questions each chapter or lesson, you will get help and advice. The chapters are clearly arranged, in addition you learn a lot. I can recommend CG BOOST, I like the concept.

As a complete beginner, I've learned so much from this course. It's an amazing resource and an excellent foundation to build on. Not only that, but it's incredibly entertaining.
Project files are included for nearly every lesson, which help demonstrate the fundamentals of the Blender UI, along with fun exercises. The course is well-organised, with short videos, making it easy to go back to previous lessons for reference. The main project - a flying car scene - utilizes all the concepts. It's a fairly complicated animation for beginners, but it's broken down in such a way that makes it surprisingly simple.
Zach's teaching ability is excellent. I can't stress that enough. His explanations are concise and easy to follow, with the occasional bit of humor. He not only teaches us how to model and animate, but offers tips on inspiration and motivation, and explains the concepts of 3D software and how Blender works inside.
Blender 2.8 Launchpad has far exceeded my expectations!

I'm at the 60% completion mark on this course, and I feel I've already learned more in the past few weeks than in the past year of following Blender tutorials. The course is put together in a nice progression of learning some basics, then going ahead to working on the project, then going back to more advanced basics, then back to the project, and so on. It doesn't get boring. Zach's method of explaining things is right to the point; he somehow manages to cover a lot, but it's not overwhelming. And as someone who isn't totally new to Blender, I was tempted to skip past some of the 'basics' lessons, but.. Don't do it! I still learned a lot of new things in those lessons, and other things that I wasn't so clear on suddenly made more sense to me. Also, if you get stuck, just post a comment and you get a response very quickly. And when it's all done you get a very cool animation that you're not going to believe you made yourself! I'm already planning my second one!

Prior to taking the Blender 2.8 Launchpad course I have been following multiple tutorials believing that I was learning Blender, but what I was actually learning was how to follow someone else. This course is set up in such a way that I have been able to learn about the different tools that Blender provides. Not only have I learned about the tools but how and when to use them.
My confidence has increase to a point where I am not as intimidated while trying to create the stories / scenes that are in my mind. The important points that I have taken away from this course are:
1. Always use reference pictures.
2. Pay attention to the size of objects in reference to each other.
3. Each project takes time and multiple changes before you get to your final product.
4. The only way to improve your skills is to continue to work on your skills.
