I'm a professional Maya modeler, I've played around with Blender a bit already... quite lost so I hope this course will help me get back to where I was with Maya.

I noticed all the new tutorials are for Blender. So I moved from my basics of Maya to Blender. New to Blender. I hope to have fun learning Blender. I want to create cartoon characters in Blender to export to Unreal Engine.

I have watched the full series and can say job well done. I think maybe need a new series "more advance". Covering nodes in more detail such as geometry nodes. Also how to use vertex groups for lipsyn animation. I would like to see more on environment setups. This stuff is just a BLAST!!!
