I\'d definitely recommend this course, so sign up to the mailing list to make sure you get early notification. Really good to get away from the desk to learn something useful.

It’s not just a Z-axis, it’s; pitch, yaw, rotation around who knows what, yUp or yDown etc… However with 2 days of Rob at the helm, orating with clarity, lots of techniques started making sense. Concepts and Ideas started to go ‘Click’ - A wonderful feeling! Extruding, bending modifiers, height maps, vectormapping, Bezier Animating, material types… the list goes on. Loved every minute of it and a nice bunch of attendees to boot. Thanks guys I’ve done a few basic projects in 3D, the 3rd dimension is always going to be a little confusing.

Rob was both friendly and passionate in explaining the code and techniques clearly for everyone to understand. It was especially gratifying to have him there to answer more technical questions regarding not only concepts but actual algorithms (not all of which I would pretend to understand) behind the front-end of the framework. Highly recommended!
