✅ designed to be customized by you
❌ for creating a real game console (sorry!)
Oh, did I mention... we're keeping it light
Creating in Blender should be fun, first and foremost.
That is why we're bringing back an iconic 80s handheld gaming console from an alternate CG Cookie universe.
This object, though eternal and glorious, is just an example for teaching you the Blender workflow... so you can get up and running on creating your own endless
Blender projects.
This is an excellent little project if you just know the basic controls or have only done other beginner tutorials. Good job for making a project that any complete beginner can do with the basic controls and turns out looking very cool. Sometimes you need something a little more engaging than a donut to look at when you are done.
Total beginner and this was great to learn with. Some things I had to google just because of version changes but overall super easy to follow along
Excellent Lesson!
if you are new, there are so many useful things to learn. Good Course!
This tutorial was straightforward and informative. I was nervous about the version difference between 3.0 and 4.5, but the discrepancies were hardly noticeable. Namely, the shade autosmooth function in Blender has been moved to the modifiers tab. A few other menus rearranged slightly as well, but it hardly affected the overall learning experience.
Thanks for the review! We have tremendous respect for learners that take the leap of faith that older courses can still teach effectively. For powering through the confusion of version inconsistency, we salute you 🫡
Just finished it, it was amazing!! thank you so much jonathan, you´re a great teacher! can´t wait to keep learning :) i really recommend this course to anyone beginning like myself; instead of telling us which shortcuts to use, he actually explains the way blender and 3d modelling work in an understandable way. loved every minute, thank you again
Great course, I am a beginer and really made great strides following this series
I learned a lot from this course together with course: BLENDER BASICS: An Introduction to Blender 3D 4.5 LTS
This is a *really* exceptional course. Just outstanding. I highly recommend this to anybody who is interested in getting into the Blender game.
At the time I went through it, this course had already existed for a year. I had some challenges such as: the fact that I used a Mac (!) and the most modern Blender download was a little different from the version in this tutorial (slightly altered layout, different menus, different tools had been moved around to different places, etc). I oftentimes had to sleuth out a different way of achieving the same goals, but none of it was insurmountable. Eventually, with a little patience, I was able to figure it out.
But really, you should think of this course as if it were a tutorial hype man for Blender: “Look how fun this is! Look at some of the amazing stuff that it can do! Look how you can do it yourself with your own two hands!”
I think this course’s meta-purpose was to get me interested in moving forward and taking all of the Core series classes. Which, yeah…Mission accomplished!
I honestly can’t wait to get started :D
