Read MoreI saw this course as a 4-week challenge, strictly following all the instructions step by step. To get the most of this training, students have to fulfill every task, including creating own designs and 3D printing them out. That's the only way to digest Blender in this crash course. Jason is very supportive and responsive, and great fun too!

Read MoreLoved week 1, all information I had to find in several videos online before finding your workshop. Keep spreading the love with blender for 3D printing. Week 2 even better, if I've learned this much in just 2 weeks, can't wait to dive into the next 2. Week 3 continues to live up to the previous weeks of easy to follow tutorials and very exciting projects. I'm looking forward to and disappointed to start the last week of this beginner series. Well here we are, at the end of week 4. This 4 week class was amazing, I learned so much in a short amount of time and the teacher is just great, very patient and easily accessible. Look forward to more training videos and live podcast with you guys! Sad to see it end for me but excited to see it's future for you. Keep living the dream.

Read MoreGreat course that covers so much, you'll feel you have made some very big strides in your Blender development/understanding. Jay covers a lot of very practical elements within the training modules, and glues them together with a very focused structure & logic. I'm looking forward to taking the next part of the curriculum. FYI: I never give 5 Stars/100% for anything, but if I could give a better score than 4 stars/80%, I would!!! And it would be 4.75 Stars/95% - Much Love, m1ck5k1 ;-/
