Blender Rockstars

The course is led in a very clear manner. It can easily be followed by someone who just started their journey with Blender. I love the structure of the course and how the content was divided within a chapter into digestable steps. Love the creativity behind every course from MDS. The ideas for the characters, scenes, design elements are just mind-blowing and so fun to work with. The hot keys being shown on the screen are super helpful too. The course are always full of tips, working files and expertise you could not just get from other tutors. I’ve already learnt so much and was able to apply the knowledge on my own projects.

I am with this school for many years

I am with this school for many years. First years I was only watching free lessons and gathering money. Then I finally saw the sales courses and jump into it. The Logo animation and Motion practice. I really enjoyed the process and also gained new skills. Can really recommend, even years later the knowledge is valuable. I still opening the lessons and rewatch them as I am looking with the new experience and new questions.
For me personally, it is important that the teachers are really experienced and you are getiing not only the keybuttons, but also the thinking why it should be done in this way.
I like the 'new vision' of creative processes and this makes this school special for me. Just looks at their trailers :D

They have amazing content in the unreal engine course however, I would advise you to be wary of the version you use and not to get stuck or lost in the lessons. Trying to receive help from them when stuck is honestly a task and a half as you CONSTANTLY have to beg for a reply to receive assistance, and even then you might not be able to reach them, which is odd considering the amount of money you pay. I've been waiting three weeks from sent emails to IG dms looking for a simple reply/fix but....ooff

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback about the Unreal Engine course.
The course is designed for a specific version of the software to maintain consistency in the lessons. However, with frequent updates to Unreal Engine, certain features or workflows may change. In such cases, students may need to adapt by exploring alternative animation options within the updated version of the software.
We understand this can be challenging, and we’re working to improve our support process to assist more efficiently when questions arise.
I appreciate your understanding, and we appreciate your dedication to learning!

blender fundimentals course

I purchased the Blender Fundamentals course, and I can honestly say it's the worst purchase I've made this year. The instructor simply goes through the motions without providing any explanation about how to use Blender or the principles of modeling. Instead, they just repeat what keys they press, leaving little to no understanding of the actual process.

Unreal engine course

Just working my way through Motion Design School's Unreal Engine course, I'll keep it as short as I can.

The teacher is highly skilled and a great artist, but a really, really bad teacher. He just clicks around, starts doing things, and hardly ever tells you what he's doing. He'll change parameters without saying he's doing it. Most of the time, he'll click on menus and not tell you which one he's clicking or why.

If you're new to UE, you will learn a lot from this course, but you'll need to keep stopping, rewinding, and restarting just to catch the simple steps he takes.

Overall, MDS has courses led by great designers who are really bad teachers. It's very typical of their courses. I have a few, and it's consistent: great art, poorly taught.

The response to this will be a generic copy and paste.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback on our Unreal Engine course. We truly value input from students like you, as it helps us improve the learning experience for everyone.
We’re glad to hear that you recognize the teacher’s artistic skills and found value in the content, even if the teaching style did not meet your expectations. We understand how frustrating it can be when instructions are not as clear as they should be, especially in a technical course like this. Your points about the pacing, lack of explanation, and clarity are important to us, and we will review this internally to see how we can better communicate steps and processes in future courses.
Our goal is to provide high-quality education that is accessible and engaging, and we apologize for falling short in this instance. We appreciate your understanding, and we’ll continue working on improving both the teaching methods and the overall course experience.
If you have any further feedback or suggestions, we would love to hear them. Thank you again for your trust in Motion Design School.

Its a lot of information which is great…

Its a lot of information which is great so I don't regret buying it. However, it is a lot of lectures and the teacher's voice sounds like AI which made the course harder to get through. There are easier courses to get started with on Youtube by the Maxon team. This is more of an information course than a hands on course so if you're looking for lectures this is the course for you.

So far I have purchased 2 courses

So far I have purchased 2 courses, animated type and animated logos. I am really looking forward to starting them as I believe they will really help me with my motion graphics module at University. I’m going to look into designing illustrations for motion as I’m planning to do a short animated story for my honours project. They are much better priced compared to other motion schools I have came across!
