Interview with
3D Artist Anna
Question.01
What is your greatest strength as a 3D artist?
I would say my problem solving skills. One of the biggest things about working in the CG field is that you're constantly faced with problems. Just when you think you've got it all figured out, you're always faced with a new challenge. I think being able to solve these problems is one of my greatest strengths.
Question.02
What is the greatest strength of your Part 1 (Steps 1-4) class compared to other Blender basic classes?
There are a lot of Blender basics classes out there already, so I wanted to make sure I included two things to set my class apart from the rest. First, I have a community for my students. I want to help you get answers to any questions you may have as you go through the class. I've organized the class so that you can easily review the material without having to re-watch the videos by providing a 100+ page PDF of the class materials for each class.
Question.03
What is the difference between the Node 100-Chapter Class and this Class?
While my previous Shaders and Geometry Nodes 100-Chapter Guide was a Node-specific class that covered the A to Z of Blender Nodes in detail, this class aims to be a comprehensive course for both beginners and advanced users. It features a structured curriculum that takes you from installing Blender to creating cinematic animations using Nodes.
Required Programs
This course will use
- Blender 4.2
