Thanks for this excellent introduction course. Recommendations on next steps

This pace and language used in this Learn the Blender Basics course is excellent for beginners. Thanks for sharing it with the world. Some (hopefully) constructive tips to make it even better:

Please enable downloadable videos for watching in countries that have poor internet. I have a Citizen account and cannot see the typical download options.

 It is confusing that the next course pointer (URL) is for a previously deprecated version of the same course with mostly overlapping material: "Introduction to Blender " by Johnathan Williamson. The Introduction to Blender, Learn the Blender Basics course should be complete enough to retire the old course or be enhanced in order to do so. 

Also, nothing inspires students pure creation projects. I recommend some additional primitive creation project videos (beyond the pine tree and the planet exercises) that get creative juices flowing before starting a technical Introduction to Mesh Modeling second course. That motivates them to finish such a technical course.


Good luck team. You undoubtedly make the best Blender training on the planet and it gets better every year.

    Thanks for the tips! Perfect timing as well -- we're just starting the construction of the 2.80 Blender Basics course, so we'll definitely weigh your critiques in!
