Fast Tracker 2 Tutorial
Otilia Mojarro
I always wanted to work in the game industry in one way or another, but I thought I couldn't have the skills in 3D to bring it that far.
After trying many tutorials on YouTube and making a course here and there without big success, I thought maybe I am not good enough for this - but then I found the newly started CG fast track series on YouTube, last year.
The teaching style clicked instantly with me and is unique in this business:
Everything is explained and shown in an excellent manner and repeated over the well build courses, which are build on each other.
Without any exaggeration, Robby is one of the best teachers in this part of the business and the value you get from the courses is in no relation to the price. The discord is also the best learning group I ever found on the internet and everyone is helpful - also Robby is very active and is helping where he can... never saw a teacher this active in a community.
I am not only progressing more than I ever thought I could - I am also confident enough to know that the courses will help me find a job in the industry.
If you are thinking about joining... do it!
Ive tried to get into 3D Art on and of for about 12 years. Trying to learn Maya, Cinema 4D and other Software Suites.
I struggled because the tutorials Ive found werent structured enough or to advanced. Last year I decided to give Blender a try and started with tutorials around the web. There was my old struggle again... and then I stumbled over cgfasttrack.
My skills and understanding has increased drastically since joining. The follow along Screenshots are a blessing, the courses are presented in a great way and a rewarding learning path where you can see results. A great, helpful and respectful community is what I got on top of it. Its never to late to start your dream...
For years I dipped in and out of blender and 3D modelling, always giving up thinking it was simply something I would never be able to do.
I decided to give things another go this year and found the CG Fast Track Blender Beginner Tutorial on 27/07/2021 on YouTube, the teaching style clicked instantly for me so I signed up 28/07/2021!
If you really want to learn Blender/3D Modelling and a load of stuff essential to CG then CG Fast Track is definitely the most well structured and thought out series of modules you could wish for! Still so much to learn and with such a great team creating the modules, community to be part of growing and learning together I would definitely without question recommend CG Fast Track 100%
I started from scratch years ago. I luckily stumbled upon the sword in the stone tutorial and instantly could tell the difference between all of the other Youtube tutorials and Robby's way of teaching.
To say it was a game changer would be an understatement. I've already been featured on Blender Nation twice and have had people in the game industry reach out to me about my portfolio.
This isn't to brag but it is all because of the skill set I have gained from CGFT. Being able to watch a course and memorizing the steps and understanding the why's of what is going on is so powerful.
A lot of tutorials tell you what to do, CGFT tells you why, when, where, who and everything in between. Its a knowledge that you will not find browsing Youtube.
The discord community is awesome! If you really want to kickstart CG as a hobby or profession there is not another site I would recommend!
On the Internet, you can find many great artists, and some of them have tutorials and, while they are very talented artists, some of them aren't good teachers. I spent a lot of time searching the Internet. Skillshare, LinkedIn, Udemy and, of course, YouTube. I felt overwhelmed and confused.
After trying some of the beginner tutorials and being frustrated, I thought, well, this just isn't for me. Perhaps, I am too old. This is for young people and, then, I found CG Fast Track minecraft tutorial. I did the minecraft tutorial and then the sword in the stone. After that I went to their website and signed up. No hesitation. I haven't regretted it one bit.
One of the things I love about the course is that each module builds on previous knowledge. Everything ties together and reinforces previous skills.
Add to it no more frustration of stopping the video, rewinding, pausing, squinting and trying to see what function was selected. We have screenshots to follow along with after watching the video. What a fantastic idea!
Apart from the screenshots, Robby is a fantastic teacher, he tells you WHY you do something, not just push this button and change this setting.
Trying to get into 3D can be difficult with many tutorials scattered around online and many courses costing $800 to teach a single aspect of 3D. CG Fast Track has a structured approach to take you from beginner to advanced step by step at a wonderfully affordable price!
With the step-by-step screenshots to help you along after the lecture you won't get lost along the way. There is also a wonderful Discord community that is very engaging as you work from level to level through the course!
Whether you are after creating CG or Video Game assets, or just a hobbyist looking to dive into 3D this course is worth the price! You won't find a more structured or engaging course on the internet!
I have tried to learn blender on and off for 4-5 years, but without spending huge amounts of money I never found any tutorials that were truly engaging and explained not only what you were doing, but why. That is until I found CG Fast track. And for the first time I'm fully engaged in what I'm doing and developing an understanding and that's all thanks to cg fast track.
My favourite things about the program are the step by step learning structure. But also the incredible community that comes with it.
Without a question I would recommend cg fast track to anyone who had a desire to learn blender.
If you are prepared to do the work, you will learn a lot.
The courses are very structured and the step by step feature makes it very easy to follow along and learn. I've done the main blender YouTube tutorials without the step by step guide, they are much harder to follow.
The course is expensive compared to YouTube, but you will definitely get your money's worth. You could probably find similar YouTube tutorials. But I doubt they will be presented in such an organized way, that is created by an industry professional.
What is my favorite thing about joining the program?
Robby, the discord community and the step by step guides, they are game changers.
Would I recommend this to others? Yes!
Initially I started learning to 3D models years ago by teaching myself at...you guessed it, YOUTUBE academy lol. I have spent years and years honing my skillz, until one day I realized that there is only so much you can do with YOUTUBE tutorials.
This is when I stumbled upon CGFT (CG Fast Track), and bought myself the full pack as a Christmas present to myself. Now, I'm no stranger to buying tutorials or classes, or lessons, or certificate programs...but rarely do I crack them open and dive right in the way I have with CG Fast Track.
These courses make me EXCITED to re-learn blender in better ways, and even though I had been 'doing blender' for years...I learned something new on the very first course chapter. It's sooooooo worth it.
The instructor just has a way with teaching that helps me understand, it is the perfect combination of spoken, written, and hands-on teaching that is upgrading my skills so fast, it is totally amazing. 100% worth it, you will not regret it at all!!!!
What lead me into the world of 3D was my passion for gaming and storytelling. I wanted to learn about tools that could help me visualize and bring my own stories to life, and in the best case scenario, being able to work with this as a living. Blender was the first tool I found on my journey but it was hard getting started with tutorials online and I repeatedly lost interest after several attempts. One summer I decided to give it another shot and I found CGFT on youtube and I was HOOKED immediately. I felt like this might be the time were I won't fail again.
The tutorial about the sword in the stone (which is free !) is very precise and every step clearly explains as to why and how it is made. You can really feel that the videos of CGFT are carefully planned before being put out to be as tailored as possible for beginners, and the difficulty of the courses increases at a steady pace. If you have done the sword the stone tutorial on youtube I can tell you that the rest of the paid courses on this site have the same exact quality.
If you have ever thought about making a career in 3D, CGFT is one of the best shots you'll ever get to get started. It's a one time purchase that will bring so much more value than the cost and that might set you on your path of you dream career. That is to me a priceless service.
As part of school education we had to learn Autodesk Inventor and I ended up loving it. The plan was always to work in the game industry in one way or another, so after I failed spectacularly in Backend programming I found my way back to 3D art.
I started trying to learn the basics of blender using YouTube, but found that nothing was sticking. Always been hard for be to contain information, but then I found CGFT's first 2 free courses. I actually understood and learned. I knew I couldn't go back to YT, so saved up and bought the course.
The discord community keeps me going. Whenever, I feel my ambition for 3D go I see the amazing projects the community makes and I get inspired all over again. Being a noob, that shows me that dedication to the course can make my whacky ideas come true.
To anyone who is considering starting the program, I can only say that they should try the free introductory courses on YT. If that doesn't spark a fire of possibility in you I don't know what will. All I can say is that the program is a robbery for that price. If you REALLY want to learn there is no better option.
