CORE 5.2 LTS + HUMAN

CORE Fundamentals is CG Cookie's rebuilt-from-scratch curriculum for Blender 5.2 LTS: eleven courses, sequenced in the exact order your skills need to develop, each one taught by an instructor who specializes in that discipline. Modeling, sculpting, materials, texturing, lighting, animation, rigging, physics, compositing, geometry nodes, and grease pencil. It's the path from "I can follow a tutorial" to "I can build this myself."

CORE 5.2 + HUMAN AVAILABLE ONE WEEK ONLY

For a limited time, finishing that path comes with a bonus: HUMAN, CG Cookie's acclaimed course on photorealistic portrait creation, free with your purchase. Normally a $90 standalone course, HUMAN is where fundamentals get tested against one of the hardest problems in all of CG art, a fully realistic digital human face.
