β

β for creating a real game console (sorry!)
Oh, did I mention... we're keeping it lightΒ
Creating in Blender should be fun, first and foremost.Β
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 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.Β
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.Β
There was one time I got stuck, but seeing the question already asked on the questions below gave me my answer right away.Β
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!
This was a fun course and helped fill in gaps I have in my Blender learning journey. A great course to start with and spark or re-spark the Blender bug. Lots of great instruction and techniques. Blender is something that has vast depth and great potential and this course gets you going in the right direction.
Hmm...however, this may help someone create a case for a homemade game console! So i claim a big β !
Having used blender for about nearly 3 years I know a lot of stuff but by doing beginner tutorials like this one I have picked up a lot of little tricks that I did not know about
I'm new to modeling in Blender. I have experience in other CADs like Fusion and Alias. I can confidently say that blender will be my main software.
From what I can see this has the ability to model in a combined way, I'm excited to learn how to model more complex surfaces and use things like modifiers and material nodes.
The course seemed clear to me and my doubts were resolved in the course of the videos. I asked a question on the forum and it was answered within a few hours.
So far I am satisfied with this kind of tutorials.
