The course is designed beautifully. The tutor literally holds your finger and teaches you to walk through the software first. After teaching you about what is what, the project starts. And that also is divided into small chunks which are edible and easy to digest. You can have your fill according to your appetite.
All in all, this is the perfect course for starters which covers everything you would need to start your journey as a 3d artist. And the final result you have at the end of the course is an ideal addition to your portfolio. Definitely a 5 star!

Really well paced. Easy to follow. Explains as we go along.

The Blender Launch Pad is full pack tutorial for beginners which gives all the information on tools. Even though I'm at 50% only I have learned most of the fundamentals.
Hoping after this course I will learn the techniques in applying the fundamentals. I'm just doing this training while I'm working as an IT operations analyst which is far from this 3D industry. I will build up my portfolio, so I can change careers where I will be happy on what I'm doing.

I've searched YouTube videos and danced around for years trying to get a grasp on my 3D journey. At a time I got discouraged and backed down but then I came across this course and I can confidently boast and say that this is the best place to start a 3D animation journey. The teachings were extremely easy to understand and remember. Well done CG Boost. I look forward to more courses. Especially on making short CG movies!

I'm about a 3rd of the way through this course but I completed the Beginner Course with the Apples before I started this one, so I'm familiar with how these courses work. Launch Pad goes into greater detail about how the various features of Blender work before you start the actual project. In some ways I wish I had done the 1st few chapters of this one before the Apple tutorial, as I have no background in 3D design and Blender is about as far from user-friendly as one could get. If you try to learn it on your own or search up random YouTube videos, you will experience no end of frustration.
If you are like me with no experience and a slightly mushy brain, you will like this course. It is well explained, broken into bite sized chunks and perfectly achievable. If you are a little bit experienced, you can easily identify the sections you might safely pass over.
This level of training would also cost a whole lot more elsewhere. I took courses in Photoshop and Illustrator years ago at my local community college and paid around $800 cdn per course. (Cover your eyes Zach!)
There are advantages and disadvantages to distance training. I can't get instantaneous answers when I have a problem (although many of the answers are in the chat under the video) but I can work on my own computer and don't have the hassle of driving anywhere. And honestly, I've never had to wait more than a few hours for help and nothing has ever been unresolvable.
I also like that CGBoost has a whole community on Facebook and I can look at other people's ideas and see what they have to say. I haven't ventured into Discord but that is out there too. An interconnected community is, in my mind, a good sign of a well respected and quality program.

I am not new to Blender, but I have definitely learned a lot from this course, and I can say that my projects will turn out better because of it. The lessons were short and easy to follow, I never got bored watching them. I was struggling with online tutorial videos and had a hard time making models of my own that looked good, but seeing and learning how a professional plans out a project has giving me the knowledge and skill to make my own 3D models look even better. This has been a great course, it is the first one that I have paid for and I loved every part of it. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn how to use Blender or improve their skills with Blender.
