Course - Blender: 3D Modeling Fundamentals

practical examples and troubleshooting of real problems (during creating real projects, games, etc.), I mean good practice and how the real project work looks like

I liked the fact the all the questions we prepared beforehand were answered; also the 90 minute challenge to create a little game at the end was a good fun!
