Many blender courses simply drop you into the deep end and hope you'll figure out how to end. They use terms without first explaining what those terms mean, and by the end of it I have more questions than answers. It's really frustrating going from video to video, course to course, and not feeling like you have the basics down. Zach explains things in good detail, sometimes too much detail for my care. At the end of the course you'll actually feel proficient in using Blender without worrying what X means or what Y does.
A suggestion for improvement: Provide full text transcript with screenshots. I have ADHD, and it's much faster for me to read something than listen to a video.

First impressions and true gains after brief meeting with the course:
For a quite a time I was afraid to switch to 2.80, so I finally decided to dive into it with the help of Zach's course. Now I regret for not doing it earlier :)))
The course is priceless, its structure, flow and pace is very pleasant to deal with. Even after few hours I dramatically enhanced and cleaned my workflows, learned lot of new stuff. The biggest benefit for me is the fact that I'm starting not to be afraid of doing things simple.
So I'm looking forward to all the new stuff that's still waiting for me.
Thanks a lot!

I definitely recommend this course. It covers all subjects, from the simplest to the most advanced, making this course an essential resource for anyone who wants to start or improve their knowledge in sculpture. Zach does a great job, approaching the secrets of digital sculpture and making difficult concepts easy to understand.
Certainly, if you are interested in obtaining professional and high quality results, this is a mandatory course to do.

I had been trying to learn blender since I was in high school but I never find the inspiration to keep learning and practicing after a few couples of hours. Then I grew up and put that aside for a while. Now, about seven years later I wanted to learn this and start putting my ideas together and this course has helped me to not lose hope and to keep practicing.
I have learned so much in the past few days, from taking a plane and transform it into real things to animate them and create polish videos that you can share with the world. I strongly recommend this course, you won't be disappointed by boring theory or not engaging practices.
Everything in this course has been carefully putted together and delivers satisfaction and results as you don't expect.

I really enjoyed the course, Zach structured it very well. I ran into some trouble in one of my lessons, but I was able to troubleshoot and find another way because of a previous lesson. I will definitely be using Blender for my 3D needs and will be back for another CG Boost course.

I am very much a beginner in 3D modeling with Blender. I aim to use it in conjunction with Hit Film Pro for video production. I have looked at Blender a few times over the last 2 or 3 years but was always put off by the (apparent) complexity. During the 2.80 Beta phase and following tips from the HitFilm forums I had another look and started a paid Blender course from a well known provider but it seemed too in-depth and progress was very slow.
Then I came across Zach's 'fruit bowl' tutorial and found the presentation and explanation excellent. A short review of the Launch Pad course convinced my to purchase, and now I'm 50% complete and starting the car modeling.
I find Zach's presentation very refreshing, especially with the use of 'scenes' to present the concepts, rather than just using objects in empty space. The first 4 Chapters present all the 'theory' clearly, in preparation for the actual 'practice'. Now I have to try and remember all the functions I've learned.
I'm looking forward to completing the animation after seeing other users' results.
Many thanks & compliments to Zach for this course.
