Giving this away for free is just insane. I know you're not personally satisfied this isn't the edited, polished course you wanted it to be, but this still looks like an absolutely unique and vast treasure trove of information and production insights that are impossible to get from any other Blender course. Thank you so much for sharing this with the community, it is very much appreciated.
And I think I like this long-form version better than an edited one tbh, because it actually shows the whole process, warts and all, without any of the fluff, problems and the mundane little things like the Question bot on Discord not working (lol) edited out. It's as real as it gets, this way, and so much more than just a collection of neat little tips and tricks.
I really appreciate your comment. Means a lot!
@@khtrammell It's evident how much you love the community, and we love you right back. ♥

I did not expect you to give this course away free, seeing how much time you've invested Kent! I hope people will appreciate
Amazing to have this Free. Thx guys for all your work! This is another tremendous example of the commitment and passion of CG Cookie, giving this away for free. Been a CG Cookie fan / member for years and will continue to be, have learned so much from the team. Appreciate the work you're doing guys.
Dude, for free?? That is actually insanely cool and I will absolutely be checking more of your stuff out and recommending you to others.
Mad respect for this, my guy.
It's awesome to see another batch of collab recordings go up! I had a ton of fun on this one.
Wardred! We're so glad you did. Thanks for the comment :)
😲 It's all Free great CG Cookie
What the hell
It is free???
Thanks cgcookie team
And thank you kent
Enjoy!
Gonna have to tell the boss I'm taking a sick week to watch all this 😁
Such a great resource and insights one won't find anywhere else, not for free anyways. Thanks for making this available for everyone!
Sascha! If you do manage to watch the whole thing (hopefully not in a week's time though 😅) I would be very interested to know your thoughts.
Absolutely. Only halfway through the first, so a week might be tight 🤣
This is insane!!!! Thank you for all your hard work everyone!!! 🙏🏼
hey danke, 🇩🇪 für deine großartige arbeit. das ist echt der wahnsinn, was du da für zeit und muse rein gesteckt hast und all das kostenlos. ohhh... 😮😁👍🥰
Wow!!! I'm looking forward to this. Anything with Mechs/Robots is A-okay with me.
what's not to love about mechs/robots, right??
Thank you so much, this is awesome!
I don't know about anyone else, but I have to admit "disconnected, jumpy, and hard to follow" perfectly encapsulates my working process...
Jaaaaake, my man! LOL this describes my actual workflow too 😅
Ooooh excited ❤
insane production.
thanks! The team and I reminisce about this project fairly frequently. It has genuinely been the hilight of my career to this point.
WHOAAA
the best start of 2025 thank you cg cookie

Hi, did someone say mech? 😁 Thank you for all your hard work.
"Mech" with a capital M!

Awesome
When will the course be out?
It's available to watch now! Link at the top of the description.
thanks for this
You're welcome! I hope you enjoy and learn from it :)
Ooh, very nice of you, great way to not let the knowledge go to waste, happy little accident? 😅thanks!
Admittedly I internalize this mostly as a failure to deliver on my part. So I appreciate you saying this :)
Bro can you suggest a good laptop for blender
Generally good gaming laptops = good blender laptops
@@khtrammell If you have extra $$$ I have also found M series Macs to work well with Blender.
Pros:
Better battery life than a Windows laptop
Much snappier in regular tasks.
I'm not sure if it's the integrated memory, OS design, or big/little chip design that gives it the responsiveness, but MACs seem much snappier than Windows right now.
Overall a better experience than Windows 10/11 which, to me, is starting to resemble the add infested Yahoo
- Very little adware compared to Windows
Better screens than are often available on gaming laptops
Equivalent screens on "business" class machines will run the price of those up, even in the PC world.
Downsides:
Cost. The memory upgrades I can understand as they're part of the chip itself - or the package, but they're still very expensive.
The SSD upgrades just seem usurious, especially since you can't install your own M.2 SSDs
Not Sures:
The original M1 Macs were definitely being beaten by Nvidia, and maybe AMD mobile graphics cards. I'm not certain if that's true of the M4 or not. (Certainly the desktop cards will trounce it.). This changes so frequently I can only suggest checking performance websites when you're close to ready to buy. . . and also Blender's website for the render time breakdowns.
Bottom line:
You can get more raw power out of PCs for your $$$, especially if you get "cheaper" constructed gaming PCs with bulky plastic and large vents for cooling. You'll get bad battery life, they'll often be loud and hot, and I've had mixed luck on how long the components last. (Motherboard on a couple of them died on me either because of heat issues or flex issues.)
A "good" Windows Laptop, like a Latitude, or high end Lenovo, that has a similar build quality to the MAC won't actually cost much less. It will often do many of the same things the Mac does - like soldered memory - with less justification. It won't be part of the chip or package, it'll just be standard DRAM modules soldered to the motherboard. I also find Dell's website, and HP's, much worse to navigate to find the specific laptops I want.
A nice compromise would be a mid-range Mac with at least 16gb of ram, and as much SSD space as you can afford. Then save up for a Desktop to do renders on, if you decide you need it.
This is based on my experience. I throw my laptop in my backpack every day, and it gets a fair bit of knocking around. If you're using it like a desktop most of the time, and just need the portability occasionally then the build quality may not be as important. The overheating *is* an issue, so I'd pay particular attention to that in any reviews.
So let me get this straight, the course is free and the instructor's name is Kent?? You're not fooling anyone Supes
haha you are correct. it's not the usual rehearsed + recorded course but certainly TONS of practical tips and insight embedded into the 40 hours.
