Artists like you make CG Cookie their choice for learning Blender
Iâm really grateful that I signed up for CG Cookie. I was an absolute beginner with no previous experience with Blender when I discovered this awesome website and now I have learned so much from these expert teachers. From the Fundamentals of Blender to the advanced course, CG Cookie is accessible for anyone with any level of 3D experience.
Before using CG Cookie I was struggling to find a productive learning flow. With their structured course content, my skill level has increased 10-fold. I signed up for the yearly subscription and I still donât think I will get through all the videos. There is so much content to learn from. A+ service and I will be continuing my training with them along my 3D career.
Go beyond watching videos on YouTube.
