I had an amazing time with this course, definitely had some challenges, but overall it was a really good way to get started in Blender.
After running through the classic doughnut tutorial a few years ago. I've decided to take up leaning blender again. It is always daunting learning a new skill but his course is very easy to follow and has helped me kickstart a working foundation in blender. I'm ready and excited to learn more!
Coming from the basics course, and studying it pretty thoroughly, I really enjoyed this one. So much of what was taught in basics was put to work in this project. A lot of extra stuff too that I'm mad excited to learn more about.
I had things go screwy in almost every video, but I buckled down and persevered using everything I was taught in the basics to push my way through. Learned some new things to look out for too.
I'm addicted. On my way to the next course!
Hey there! I'm so pleased you were able to push yourself and keep going. That's half the battle! Happy to have you a part of the community and happy Blending!
I think that title says it all!
Great series. Good Pacing. Great explanations. Fun finished product!

Thanks for taking it; happy Blending!
I'm hoping the knowledge from this walkthrough translates into other projects. The talking was a little to fast and the instructions moved on without explanation once in a while. 7/10.
Thanks for the review and feedback. I'd recommend taking the Fundamentals of 3D modeling course next if you haven't already. It helps affirm things covered quickly in PRESS START with some good takeaways. Happy Blending!
This course was really fun, I usually make characters but this was a new skill I wanted to tackle, also Jonathan explained everything perfectly and I learned a lot I would recommend this course 100%.
What a great Blender course. It took me about a week to get through it here and there on the evenings, but worth the end result + knowledge gained.
I'd highly recommend the watch video first and then watch again while trying to follow-along. There were a few times I had to pause the video and reload the last 30 seconds a few times. A benefit of pre-recorded video I suppose.
There was one time I got stuck, but seeing the question already asked on the questions below gave me my answer right away.
The "PRESS START: Your Simple First Blender Project" course exceeded all my expectations. The instructor organized the material and made it accessible for beginners in 3D modeling. The video tutorials are easy to follow, and the "PRESS START" project is an excellent introduction to Blender.
The cgcookie.com platform provides a user-friendly interface and excellent support. Questions are resolved promptly, and the student community creates a positive atmosphere for sharing experiences. I confidently recommend this course to those looking to enter the world of 3D modeling with Blender. It opens the doors to the fascinating realm of computer graphics, making learning both enjoyable and productive.
I took a pause on my "Fundamentals of shading" course and jumped here. And these courses blend together very well. This Press start course kind of shaped all my knowlege from previous courses into something that I can actually apply in my projects. Not to mention that Jonathan Lampel is an awesome teacher!
