    Meet the Instructors

    We've gathered some of the top talent in the Blender sphere to help make this bundle possible. Bringing their own experiences and skills to the camera for you to consume. 

    1. Jonathan Lampel -  I'm one of the 3D instructors here at CG Cookie and I also work on tools like Retopoflow and UV Flow, that make Blender easier to use.  I've been using Blender for just over a decade and, while I'm happy to nerd out about any part of it, I especially enjoy the topics of modeling, shading, layout, and dynamics.

    2. Kent Trammell -  I love learning and teach stuff about the wide world of computer graphics.  My 14-year career as a digital artist includes feature film work, 3D amusement park rides, TV commercials, major YouTube channels, and Blender courses, like HUMAN for CG Cookie. I'm a generalist that enjoys the entire animation pipeline. But modeling, sculpting, characters, texturing, materials, and rendering are my strongest skills." See more on X
    3. Kaizen 3D -  My name's Jesse, but you probably know me as Kaizen Tutorials. I've been running a YT channel for over 2 years now and before that I was an Art Director! I love Blender and I love teaching. So I figured; why not combine those?!  See more on YouTube
    4. Ewa Wierbik -Ziąbka-  I am a senior 3d artist, specialized in modeling, realistic texturing and rendering. I love creating cozy scenes and very detailed textures. While in the industry for 10 years, I'm learning something new every day. I enjoy making art pleasing to the eye and I love spending time in 3D - my work is my passion! :).

    5. Phil Osterbauer -  I'm a seasoned CG Cookie member with a decade of professional experience using Blender 3D. Over the years, I've honed my skills and is now actively give back to the community by teaching and sharing my knowledge.
    6. Wayne Dixon -  G'day! I'm Wayne from Australia, the Animation and Rigging instructor around these parts.  I first discovered Blender in the early 2000s and was enthralled with the capabilities of this open-source software.  After a few years of messing about for fun and building my skills, I realized I had a real passion for character animation and rigging and turned my hobby into a career using Blender as well as teaching others how to use it.  I've had the privilege of working on some awesome projects as an animator and technical artist over the years.  This includes TV commercials, museum exhibits and a bunch of children's' content on YouTube that has collectively had billions of views (yes, billions)!  If you have a passion for animation and/or rigging, I will help you fuel that passion.
    7. Kenny Phases - KennyPhases is a long time Blender enthusiast, 3D Artist, Graphic Designer, Creator, Inventor, and expert brainstormer. His full time job is teaching Business & Technology at the middle school level. He discovered his passion for teaching at Code Ninjas, where he began teaching students about the fundamentals of programming Javascript. Later on his passion developed into a full time teaching career with a mix of 3D Design, Graphics, Cinema, Business, and of course Blender Physics.

    What People Are Saying


    Fundamentals of Digital Sculpting 
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️   "Never took time to fully complete a course for so many years.  Good to be back with an updated course and blender 4.2. Always easy to follow unlike Sketchfab (ending up with an Epic game account and still error 13 with a blend file). I hope Kent will also update his Human realistic portrait course.

    Great job, keep it up."

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️   "I have taken the original Fundamentals of Sculpting course and it was an amazing experience. I wanted to take this version too just to see how the tools have evolved/changed and if Kent would approach the sculpt any differently. It was yet another amazing experience!

    His approach to teaching is very easy to follow along, while still being super thorough and leaving no details behind.

    Sure, it will take practice as with anything, but this course truly gives you all the fundamental knowledge to tackle any sculpt you can imagine! 10/10 recommend."


    Fundamentals of Lighting

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  "So much more to lighting than I thought. This will be my goto tutorial for a long time to come."


    Fundamentals of Materials and Shading

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  "I learned a lot. I'm excited to move on to texturing course. Thanks for your hard work."


    Fundamentals of Rigging

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  "Entertaining and educational as always. Thanks for your hard work."
