Going into this course I had gathered small background knowledge regarding blender and its basics. I wanted to begin to understand the software in a much more confident way and this course was perfect for that. Each basic function was described in detail, and Zach focused on explaining how/why the tools worked, instead of simply demonstrating how to use them. Since the course is divided into short videos, it is easy to skip through videos you already know, allowing for a much more personalized pace. Zach also speaks very clearly and shows a clear interest in the material. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to build a strong foundation in Blender 3D!

I've gone through all the videos and have learned a great deal about the ins and outs of Blender 2.8. Computer graphics applications are complicated because of the large number of object-creation options. This course provides a good balance between introductory material and comprehensiveness. I look forward to additional courses from CG Boost.

After over 30 years in creative design, I am finally able to face my biggest dream and fear, learning 3D. This course demystifies the challenges faced when coming from a 2D design background. Clear, concise, and well-paced teaching. Each section expands on the previous section flowing seamlessly. I am presently watching the course on time through and then going back a second time with interaction. To work on an actual project from beginning to end is exciting. I totally recommend this course for anyone wanting to learn Blender and get an introduction into the world of 3D.

This course is great to introduce new people to Blender. Zach is very good at explaining tools. Sometimes I had some weird issues and it's not only me, seeing the same problem people having sometimes in the comment section under the videos, but Zach always has a solution and helps people, it's really great! I had a ton of fun making the car and environment with this course and I can come back any time when I forget what certain tools do. Very great course!

I've paid for a handful of tutorials across a lot of platforms. I went from Blender 2.7x to Cinema 4d, and then to Maya. When Blender 2.8 came out I decided I needed to go back to Blender in which I totally forgot how to use. Jumping around so many different programs and paying for a multitude of tutorials for all programs, none of the tutorials stacked up to this one. It's super comprehensive and what I really appreciate from Zacharias' teaching style is that there were separate and dedicated lessons for tools and concepts before jumping into the meat of the tutorial so that we fully understood what the tools were before using them. Most tutorials tend to teach in the heat of the modeling and sometimes the information doesn't stick or only feels applicable to the one application. The Launchpad course felt more like it was actually teaching me Blender vs teaching me how to create/do just one specific thing like other paid tutorials I've encountered tend to do. Throughout the course, Zacharias explains why each tool is being used and because of the individual tool lessons you can always refer back to the dedicated lesson to expand on it if you forget how the tool behaves, which he is good at reminding you this as well. This Launchpad course goes beyond just teaching you "how to make this specific animation" and into how to learn the program as a whole and apply it beyond this tutorial. I think this should be THE tutorial to kick off learning Blender 2.8, because it's the best tutorial out there.

I really enjoyed this course, it has a great tutor (Zach) and a good sequence. First you learn the fundamentals and then put them into practice. There are a lot of good examples and the short lesson videos make it so much better than having several hours all together. Thanks, Zach, for the course and the humor!
