CG Cookie Core Fundamentals: Blender 5.2 LTS Self-Study Bundle
Is this for beginners?
Yes. CORE takes you from your first cube to a capable, independent artist across 11 courses. No prior Blender experience needed.
Which version of Blender do the courses use?
Blender 5.2 LTS, fully rebuilt for it. LTS means the version is supported for two years, so your courses won't go stale.
When will the courses be available?
Full content delivers August 2026. Pre-ordering locks the lowest price before it rises to $199 at launch.
How much does CORE cost
$199 at launch for a one-time purchase. Pre-order for $149.99 from July 7 to early August is the lowest price CORE will ever be.
Do I get lifetime access?
Absolutely. You get to keep all 11 courses for life.
I bought CORE V1 for 4.2. Should I get this new version?
Absolutely. Each version brings new instructors, new ideas and highlights new updates to Blender. CORE is a great reference guide for all things Blender. We emailed a coupon code to our V1 customers to give you even a better deal. If you didn't receive the code, email [email protected].
Do I need to take the courses in order?
It's recommended but not required. Each course builds on the last, especially the modeling-to-texturing path, so following the sequence gives you the smoothest path from beginner to capable.
Can I use CORE with my class or purchase multiple seats?
Yes. CORE is a structured, self-paced curriculum that drops straight into a classroom, and classroom and multiple-seat options are available. Join the waitlist and we'll share the details for teams and schools before pre-orders open.
