This is the Blender course I have been waiting for a long time. I never really liked the Blender versions before 2.80. I was more used to Maya and could not really start to use the old Blender. Now, with your excellent video tutorial I can really dive into Blender 2.80.
I really miss a hard copy of your tutorials, I like to have a hard copy when I am studying instead of watching a video over and over again, but that's mine opinion.
So far, I am really impressed with your video tutorials. Very well-spoken and excellent video quality.

An extremely comprehensive guide to Blender 2.8, easy to understand, very high quality. Zach is a phenomenal teacher and very easy to follow! Also, the CG Boost Community forums is rich with entertaining and inspiring student work.

For years I wanted to learn Blender. Before, I followed tutorials on YouTube but missing the Blender basics didn’t help me to grow. This Blender course is even better than I expected. Zach explains everything clear and at a good pace. A nice plus is the fact, that the course exist out of small video’s and to keep it interesting there are a lot of different demo scenes created to explain the settings and tools what makes it more fun to watch. The goal of this course for me was to learn the basic settings and tools but the fact that I also learned to animate and apply camera settings was a nice surprise for me.
I’m looking forward to the next CG Boost course and thank you for helping me to understand Blender!
Happy greets,

I'm not new to 3d software since we're using with the studio a different DCC package for about 10 years. When the Blender 2.80 final release was getting closer (and now officially launched), we were getting more and more interested in this software.
Looking around on YouTube a way to get started in Blender we've found for sure many free videos and tutorials, but all of them lacked a structured way to learn.
Zach Reinhardt's "Blender 2.8 LaunchPad" on CG Boost has two strong qualities: the first, he doesn't give for obvious any concept or action in Blender. In this way, you really learn all the single and small aspect of the software that speeds up your daily work.
The second aspect is the general creativity he put inside the class: every lesson is explained with some cool looking scene, giving a nice, fresh and enjoyable way to go through the different chapters.
I can only suggest this class not only to all the new users and people approaching a 3d software but also to the 3d artists that were using a previous package and want to dive in a professional way in the world of Blender.

I've taught everything from marketing to art and this is one of the best laid out courses I've ever seen. I've used other courses from across the internet, both paid and free and there's so much attention to detail that Zach has added to the course.
After completing the course, it occurred to me that I learned 3D modeling, simple texturing, lighting, and animation in a way that has felt way more fun and simple than other courses I've taken on those single subjects alone.
Zach pours so much thought into these courses and I'm totally confident that anyone can walk away from this course with a strong grasp of modeling fundamentals and a super impressive animation to share.
I give Zach's Blender 2.8 Launch Pad course the highest recommendation that I can give.

This course is phenomenal for a beginner like me, although I had already tried to hang along on various tutorials. I had also gotten a textbook, but that landed quickly in the corner, because I found only half about what I wanted to know.
My decision to take this course was a very good one: Within three weeks, I learned so much. Many useful tips, every detail is explained understandable. It is very easy to follow the instructions, because everything is structured step by step.
What I like most: I can use the course like a database because all the videos and exercises are very well labeled. So I can always fall back on something that I could not memorize. Also, very important: Zach's clear instructions are very helpful in solving minor problems.
I highly recommend this course. I am still very enthusiastic and can hopefully present a result soon.
