Hey Reader,

Zach here,

From May till July 2023 we invited a some people of our community to beta test our new Robotic Planet course, to get feedback and improve it.

Now, with the course being released, I'm happy that we can finally share some of the great course results of the beta testers.

Scroll down and enjoy!

Result and review by Key Mist

The Robotic Planet Course has been a truly delightful experience! Louis's teaching style is entertaining and engaging, making each lesson a joy to learn from.
The course covers a wide range of topics, including different modeling styles, procedural material creation, geometry nodes, animation, compositing, and more.
The course is valuable for all!

Result and review by Alexander Bakunovitch

This course is a great introduction to the production pipeline for an animation project: concept creation tips, storyboarding examples, various modeling approaches, convincing re-usable material setups, rigging magic, animation essentials, compositing/post-processing hacks, and more. Easy to follow.
Very experienced and very, very inspiring instructor. Lots of fun combined with a solid knowledge base…
...and with lovely robots.

Result and review by JK Balmain

For anyone wondering, this course is an amazing first step into hard surface modeling, rigging, and animation. Louis is an amazing teacher, and the explanations are clear and easy to follow for an intermediate Blender user.
Part 1 gets your feet wet and prepares you for diving headfirst into some complex rigging and fun animations in Part 2. Part 2’s Fish Bot is a challenging ride at points, but worth it.
I’ve left this course with useful new workflows for compositing; I just need to practice more with my new rigging and animation skill set.
Hugely inspiring course and teacher; highly recommended.

There are many more!

Here you can see more student results, and here you can read all reviews of the course.

Quick reminder: When you join the course within the first month (till August 16th, 2023), you will get an exclusive Blender Photo Shoot Scene file, where you can easily drop your own robots in, and render out a fun animation with a few clicks (check the demo video below).

Have fun!
