Comidoc Review
Our Verdict
Packed with long-tail keywords and fresh insights, this review delivers praise for the course's project-based learning experience while gently pointing out potential areas for improvement. The 5.5 hour Blender for Complete and Total Beginners course is highly recommended for aspiring CG artists, boasting a global rating of 4.80 and helmed by a dedicated instructor. While cursor visibility can be an issue during lectures, learners have appreciated the clear speech that caters to non-native English speakers. The course's strengths lie in its ability to present key concepts succinctly and emphasize essential skills through repeated commands, making Blender feel more accessible even with a single screen setup. However, potential drawbacks such as limited material experimentation opportunities, slight slowness in pace, and outdated render settings do warrant attention when considering this course. Overall, it remains an excellent starting point for exploring the vast world of 3D modeling, texturing, and rendering with Blender.
