What it does
CG Cookie provides Blender courses in modeling, materials, rendering, animation and other disciplines, with assignment feedback and community projects.
The free Blender Basics route gives a new user somewhere to start before tackling a specialized course. For further study, choose a discipline or a short project rather than opening unrelated tutorials. Assignment discussion and the recurring community challenge offer opportunities to share work and receive feedback while practicing.
Blender Basics is a free account-based starting point. Paid Inner Circle membership adds the wider library and exercise feedback. CORE is included in the annual plan but excluded from monthly membership; buying CORE separately provides course files to keep, while membership access is streaming and lasts only while subscribed. Confirm live-programme inclusion before choosing a plan because the official pricing and help pages describe that detail differently.
Strengths
- A free introductory course provides a defined starting point.
