After struggling with various videos and beginner books, Zach’s course is the most straightforward and comprehensive. I feel that by the end I will have great confidence in making my own designs with Blender.

This course is the absolute best course available.
It is affordable. A bargain at double the current price.
It is downloadable for those with slow internet access or to use as a future reference. Clear and concise instructions from a knowledgeable instructor.
Thorough explanations of each function, not just "follow me" instructions. Quick and professional feedback.
Access to a community of friendly and helpful users. Low poly examples that can be rendered quickly.
Advice for those pursuing a CG career. Bonus chapters added at no additional cost.
I have been tinkering with Blender but was never able to finish a project. Launch pad took me through the process from start to finish. This course offers an excellent foundation for those new to Blender and I believe even experienced users will gain valuable insight.

I am very interested of learning 3D modeling and I found this course very useful for beginners like me. Zach is very clear in explaining every concept, tools, how it works and what to avoid doing. Also, Zach was able to tackle only important concepts to learn for a beginner which makes the course easier to grasp and not overwhelming. It was also very helpful that every topic / video were short, direct to the point and specific for a particular tool or concept, this way it makes it easier to understand and keeps the course interesting as you go on each topic. I am glad I found this course because its like a complete all in one basics tool kit that a beginner needs for you to learn everything from modeling tools, shading, texture, UV mapping, lighting and animation! So thanks again Zach!

The methodology is clear and very fresh.
The topics are explained in a simple way and the result obtained is wonderful.
I totally recommend this course to all those who wish to immerse themselves in the incredible world of 3d.

Amazing and well-structured course for both beginner and intermediate users alike.
Zach does a great job explaining everything there is about Blender basics and 3D from scratch while showing you step by step how to get achieve the same results.
If you're already familiar with Blender, you can pretty much skip the basics and start working on your project straight away and the great thing is the rest of the course will always be there as a great resource for you to review any topic covered during your project's development.
Blender is an amazing software and it's getting constant updates (at the time of this review it just launched version 2.9) but don't let that deceive you, you can still follow along just fine since Zach updated a bunch of chapters with "from the future" notes telling you where stuff is or what changed, if he didn't manage to update it yet you can always go through the comments of each video to check what people said about it or ask a question yourself, Zach and his team are always there answering questions or trying to help people.
Overall I'm very pleased with this course and thoroughly recommend it, it covers a lot of ground and you'll definitely learn what you need to start working with 3D.

I purchased into this course with a solid expectation to learn Blender, I had expectations of Texturing and Rigging, but once I started this course and was slightly disappointed not to be tackling these concepts, BUT I soon realized how valuable the other critical information and detail in the tools and very importantly the workflow pipeline in order to make a successful scene/project was.
I was blown away by the fact that I was actually learning now, not just copying something that someone says to do online by following YouTube videos, etc
How do I say this simply, there is no other course I have seen out there that is so well delivered and tutored. Also, one must understand the challenges it presents to run a course so in-depth with a product such as a blender which changes versions every other week and who are notorious for moving already complicated functions into other UI areas or make them disappear altogether.
I found myself googling where specific tools were when using a slightly more modern version of Blender than the course was designed around, but that said Zach did a great job of re-editing the video content to mention the changes, as well as assisted with the many questions within the discussion comments section.
I truly look forward to seeing more courses such as this.
