I went for the blender course

I've always been curious about Blender.  I was just reading that it used to have its own embedded game engine, but they dropped that in 2019.  Anyway, I hope it's a great course!

I hope so too. and I have also heard something similar to that. not completely sure tho

From what I understand the game engine got dropped in favor if focusing their energy on what Blender was meant to do - be a 3D art program. However, Godot 4 has native Blender support so you can load the .blend files directly. Thankfully since Blender is open source and the community is completely unhinged most of the time (in all the best ways mind you), there is a fork of Blender that is all about the game engine you can check it out here: https://upbge.org/

As far as the GameDev.tv Blender courses go however, Grant is an amazing instructor so I'm sure anyone who picks up his Blender courses will love it. He also has his own youtube channel with a ton of beginner friendly tutorials, specific guides, and general skill improvement challenges so definitely would be worth looking into if you are new to Blender and want some extra material to learn from :)

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

Same here, went for the "anime" blender course specifically (planning to create 3D games in the future so this may be a great foundation for creating my game characters)

My workflow is always slowed down because I am very picky about the  models and art of my game. So I got blender course to speed up my models for my games.

Good luck on learning blender mate ✨! Learning it defo opens up brand new opportunities for your future games (whether it's a custom prop, characters, artstyle, etc). Hoping to do the same with myself too (I wanna give VR GameDev a shot in the future so this is a great stepping stone!)

yeah mate. I am already excited and I haven't even started yet. Good luck to you as well for your VR GameDev.

I went for the same course.  As I'm wanting to use my own assets and make 3D games this one made the most sense to me for now as I have already been learning blender and making simple models for a few months now.
