I have never found a course like this, with this strong method that encourage you to learn more and follow every day. The quick tips are amazing and I think that 5/15min for lessons are a great idea for a better understanding of each concept. Great job Zach!

Zach is a great teacher. His course is well paced, and he explains things and shows them in a way where I do not have to constantly stop and go back to see what he was doing as I have found in many other tutorials...even from real experts. This is important to me. I am probably one of the much older subscribers and I don't like tutorials where they try to cram it all in as fast as possible. I do muscle my way through those but the experience is totally unpleasant and frustrating. Because I am also following along within Blender, if the teacher does something on-screen at the same time, and often before, he is stating audibly what he is doing, I tend to miss the keystroke or the menu or the left or right-click function and I have to stop the video and go back. Not here. I highly recommend Zach.

This is a great intro course for new people wanting to learn Blender 2.8, as well as people coming into Blender from 2.7 and earlier.

This review is split in the 51% part of the course and the 49% part. First 51%: I must say, I was hesitating very long time, if I should really enroll in this course. I was struggling with the thought, that I buy half the course for “nothing” because I was “teaching myself” Blender 2.8 for the last 3-5 months. I was afraid, I'm not going to learn enough new stuff. Now that I did all the basics of the course (at 51%) I can kind of confirm, that I didn't learn that many new things. One specific thing I found out, was the walk mode which I find perfect for placing the camera in a scene. I was also very keen on learning about PureRef. However, having said, that I basically “did not learn” anything new, I must say, that I would always go back and enroll in this course again! After learning so many weeks from so many different tutorials, I wasn't sure anymore I'f I learned the “right stuff” in “the right way”. For me, 80% was like confirmation that I was on the right path, doing the things I did. This gives me a very good feeling to take on the next part of my Blender journey (which will be the far more cumbersome part), which is practice, practice, practice! So any of you, thinking if they should enroll or not, because they learned some stuff already → DO SO, NOW! Even if it's just for confirmation it is really worth it! Finally, a place where all the puzzles fit perfectly together and things start to make sense! I really wish, when I started out, I had this course already. I could cut down 2/3 of the time I invested in doing things “the hard way”. Conclusion: At 51% the course, everything was already worth 200% the money! Second 49%: This part is where the real work starts. I strongly recommend that you create all the assets on your own. Learning something crazy as Blender is really not just watching this course, but actually getting your own scene done in your own way. I suggest you create your own car in your own style and maybe even change some stuff on the animation part. Animation is where I personally learned the most. The idea of this car scene is great for learning and many little things are shown to you, which can be used on later projects. The rendering part with the technical details is explained very well and gives you a lot of detailed and practical information. In the second 49% I learned many new things and found even more things I would have been glad to know earlier in my tries with Blender. Anyone that seriously wants to start with Blender should buy this course. There won't be any magic tricks, that would make a digital artist out of you (that's YOUR part of the deal). But it certainly shows you all the knowledge that you need, to jump start a Blender career. After this course, you will be able to educate yourself through other tutorials in topics that you are specifically interested in.

I want to say that the course is a total quality and seriousness. It is very worth investing in. Zach manages to address from a beginner level, the use and management of this new version of Blender. It is not necessary to have previous knowledge in 3D. The concepts are clear and very well explained. It is noted that there is behind this course a great work of synthesis and explanation. In general, it is a very complete course and the concept of teaching combining theory and practice is very effective. Thanks, Zach for all your work.
