Our Verdict

(Updated Jun. 2021) While the course exhibits strengths in teaching complex Blender techniques through practical examples, it falls short in presenting information consistently while catering to a wider audience by adding captions and offering simpler node setups. The highly engaged and skilled instructor adds value, but improvements are needed in making explanations more straightforward and accessible for learners.

Potential Drawbacks
