Hi, I just wanted to know, if I had already finished the CORE fundamentals mesh modeling course, would it still be worthwhile to take the 'Mesh Modeling Bootcamp'? Looking at the thumbnail of the video I can see that there are more complex models, like a Husky and even a head of a stylized character, which I thought would be more of an approach through digital sculpting, after taking the 'CORE fundamentals digital sculpting course'.
Additionally, are there any recommendations for courses which teach how to create stylised characters to then turn them into animations for short scenes/films?
Hello Jim. Of course, it is totally worth it to watch the older mesh modeling course. Blender has a different UI, but that doesn't matter, the concepts are universally the same, just that the buttons in Blender are different, and we're not here to learn buttons. So take a deep dive on that one as well, it will reinforce what you have already seen and learned, plus much more extra stuff.
There are much older courses that teach characters and animation, and again, Blender is different but concepts never change. The Piero course goes from concet art:

To fully producing a short film:

And there's others that deal with characters as well:

The robot goes from concept art to character as well:
