Hello there! I'm a design student from Germany, who created her first 3D project in Maya since it was part of the curriculumn. But due to the program's complexity (and over-the-moon-price) I decided to start over with 3D in Blender.
I first watched CG Cookie's "Blender Basics" course, then followed the "PRESS START" course, where we build a 3D console together with Jonathan, who also created this course. Thanks to these two courses, I decided to get a monthly subscription and try it out and I'm not exaggerating when I say this Fundamentals course (along with the other two free courses) is everything you need to start modeling and, most importantly, to feel confident in Blender.
The course is very well explained and not hard to understand at all. As someone who is usually scared to start with new programs, I've gotten the hang of the program quickly, followed each exercise, and later repeated them on my own. At no point did I feel like Jonathan was going too fast or forgetting that he were teaching beginners. The final exercise was a nice, relaxed way to inspire independent modeling and creativity instead of just following instructions.
I will definitely continue with the other CORE Fundamentals courses and can wholeheartedly recomment it to anyone who wants to start and feel safe with Blender!
