Gained a lot of foundational knowledge of geo nodes, shading, looping, and other quality of life tips/tricks through this course. I feel I can take away form the techniques used and apply them to my own projects.

This course is an absolute gem, packed with invaluable information for anyone eager to dive into Geometry Nodes.
to all levels, from beginners to more experienced Blender users.
Each lesson is thoughtfully designed to build on the previous one, creating a cohesive learning journey.
Ducky 3D is an amazing artist and an excellent instructor. The teaching style is both fun and informative.
Definitely recommend it to any one wants to learn Geometry Nodes.

I'd love to love this course but it's not a course, it's a series of Youtube type tutorials. There's never really any explanation of what is coming next so you're just copying exactly what he's doing.
You can tell that he doesn't teach in person or one to one as he presumes that you know everything after teaching you something once, which of course is impossible unless you smash out the entire course back to back. There should be tiny reminders here and there.
You do make some really cool stuff but for the life of me I can't repeat it on my own. Even re-watching parts is just copying instead of understanding because he never really stops to explain why he's doing something.
Shame as he's clearly an amazing artist and a successful Youtuber but a teacher he is not.

This was something I mentioned at the beginning of the course. But the way I teach is not a conventional university style. My belief is that the best way to learn tools is through context and repetition. So I don’t spend lots of time giving you technical explanations of the backend of everything that’s happening. If you follow the course, by the end of it you will have used many of the tools several times and have a full understanding of what’s happening Because of repetition and learning the context of why they do what they do. That’s why there are so many lessons in this course and why you might feel like it’s a YouTube style tutorial. This course is meant to be a full replacement for watching random YouTube tutorials. Instead you can watch this course and get a full learning of the tool set from these lessons

Practical, easy to follow lessons outlining the principles of motion graphics for backgrounds, titles and just eye candy. Included are step by step guides on geometry nodes with outlines on how and why to use them. Plus, a rundown on the principles of smart shaders with built in animations. The text graphics lesson was so informative, I utilized the learnings in that to apply to Main Titles and bumpers for a video series we produce monthly for internal communications. Thanks Ducky3d!!!

You can't go wrong buying this course! I've been on and off with learning Blender over the last 4 years but January 1st/2024, I decided to commit and put in consistent, daily time in learning. I was intimidated with geometry nodes at first, but like most things, the more you do or use something, the more it makes sense and easier it gets. Nathan is detailed with his teaching and explains things very well. I highly recommend this course. Very good value for the price.
Cheers, Jeff

After having finished the first course I was excited for the updates version. Really nice designs and useful techniques. Easy to follow. Recommend it to anyone who's at the "beginner/late beginner stage".

Ducky teaches good. Nuff said. (no but seriously you learn a lot from this and even if you are intermediate or advanced, he still provides logical and creative approaches that could assist any level of blender artist's workflow)

Easy to follow and good course. Gives you a good start for own experiments. There a two more motion graphic courses, one here at blendermarket and an older one at cloud/blender (same author). This course is a good complement and makes start easy - look all 3! I hope ducky will produce a geometry node (blender 3.0) course in the future!

Found Ducky3d via youtube and I like the delivery, it's short, sharp easy to understand "this is how you do it" style.
I would recommend this course, if this is what you want to learn, I am a beginner and have only done part one of the doughnut.. but I love this style and looking forward to getting creative.
Big thank you to the creator.
