so far so good
Only complaint i can give is that i wish he told us about the right click>join area when working with adding/reducing viewport.
This part of the blender UI feels rough and i ended up opening 10 windows instead of closing the second. I had to do some googling on the side to solve the issue

The content of the lessons was good to learn the basics. I wish the trainer would not keep digressing from the main content. That made me tend to lose focus on what I was doing, even though I have a fair knowledge of Cinema 4D. Remember this course is for beginners, so we need it to be focussed on the workspace and how to get around it quickly while generating an output to nicely round off the learning.

There is fantastic information on getting started with Blender 2.9, and also wonderful workflow and modelling tips. It's been very helpful.

There are times when the lessons can be a bit disorganized, which can be distracting to the flow of the lesson.

Overall -- invaluable information, expert advice, excellent value.

It was a good Match. Itook 1 star off because he talked to fast and the volume was to low. I had it maxed and I still barely heard it.
