I came across Zach on YouTube with his apple scene tutorial series. The level of polish of his course and the fact that with such simple scene he managed to cover so many topics in Blender in such a thorough way blow my mind. So after I saw the add to this course (the Launch Pad), I decided it is worth the try. I suspended my subscription at CG Cookie and bought this course. I have watched the initial 4 chapters as I am familiar with the tool, but still learned a lot.
I love everything about Zach’s method of teaching. The pace is perfect, explanation are clear. What I love the most is his attitude, not patronizing, funny, reassuring, for example when he explains that he had done lots of trial and error before he figured out the proper values for the particle system. That was really reassuring for me, and helped not to be intimidated by the amount of parameters.
I think what I like most about this course, is that after almost one year of playing with Blender I know I am going to create something really cool (have already finished modelling and I love the result). The fact that it covers so many areas in Blender including animation is amazing, and it’s just what I needed.
Thanks so much, can’t wait to complete it and to see what next is in his sleeves.
