  Absolute must have for anyone who has ever aimed to create hyperrealistic characters - either portraits or full blown character models FROM SCRATCH. Worth every penny even just to get that one small piece of information you were DYING to learn.

  You can really feel at every second of the course that it really did take Kent 2 years to produce and rehearse this course! Just comparing the quality of the lessons to my Game Art Bachelors I went to a private school for, this blow a lot of my professors out of the water. The pacing is really quick and snappy, exactly what I wanted as a blender user with industry experience modeling, but not so much experience sculpting.

  Absolutely amazing. High quality information coupled with high quality teaching. It was actually a very enjoyable and entertaining course. I was pleasantly surprised at the level of detail we go into creating realism, but instead of being laborious it was just incredibly fun. I will definitely do the course over and over again to make new portraits and excited to see how I improve. Thank you

  Making realistic human portraits is very difficult at best. Our brains have a small area dedicated to recognizing the human face so we can distinguish one person from another via small and subtle changes to facial landmarks. This means we are very sensitive to extremely small irregularities in a face and is one of the reasons 3D realistic human portraiture is so difficult; EVERYTHING must be extremely detailed, precise and correct.

  Kent's course encompass all the complex aspects of creating a hyper-realistic portrait, both technically and artistically and manages to convey it in a logical, step by step sequence, while maintaining a lightness that makes the course easy to consume. There is a LOT of depth and breadth to cover and my old computer was practically bulging from the effort, but in the end, it all worked. Kent has thought ahead to supply workarounds for common errors and even bugs in Blender! Which is a testament to Kent as a course creator AND instructor!

  If you want to make 3D portraiture - this is THE course. And you will acquire skills above and beyond those used for portraiture; hand painting, sculpting, baking textures, hard modelling, clothing creation, particle systems (hair), lighting, vertex group, shape keys, and a ton of others.

  With Kent's help, you will discover you can create 3D at a level you never thought you could!

  Absolutely one of the best courses I've followed so far. I was a little hesitant to start with little sculpting experience and limited knowledge of Blender, but the course is easy to follow and not only are the steps shown clearly, but most things are very well explained so you definitely get a better understanding of what you're actually doing and why you're making certain decisions.

  The video's are nicely structured in parts and good to keep up with, which made it easy to follow up on and doing just a few video's every evening made me able to go through the course in a little more then a month time.

  Definitely does need a few extra playthroughs before remembering and mastering all the steps, but the end result is absolutely worth it. With good effort you don't just get a 'I followed a tutorial' kind of piece, but more like a 'wow i made this!' kind of piece for your portfolio.

  Also, before buying I was hesitant if the course could still be done in blender 4.0, but being familiar with the interface I found it not hard to follow along with, most things hold up well in the newer blender versions. Some settings/ nodes were different, but nothing a google search couldn't fix.

  10/10, already working on my second human, and being able to already skip through video's makes me feel like I learned so many things!

  Excellent, very detailed course. Instructor has a lot of knowledge on the topic and presents it clearly. The FAQ for the course recommends watching videos before attempting to follow along, and I agree with this, even if its just a chapter at a time.

  After a year, I still go back and learn something new every now and then, best tutorial out there for realistic anatomy,you can even use much of the chapters for none realistic characters!

  I'm really enjoying going through this course, and it's everything I had hoped it would be. I'm one of the many thousands who want to learn this, but grew weary of always seeing other (brutally expensive) software suites as requirements for the otherwise wonderful courses available out there.
  Kent really has done something amazing for us, and I find the course fully understandable and doable. Thank you!
