Student Review
Giles
"The course was very informative and demonstrated effective techniques to explore hard surface shapes, block outs, details, and polish.
Patrick went above and beyond during the live sessions to drive home the concepts and answer all questions. Additionally, he recorded feedback per student to answer questions and give critiques.
Finally, the bonus Unreal Engine workflows he showed in the last session were extremely valuable on how to import and present your work in the engine."
