This is an excellent course for learning how to create realistic landscapes in Blender. A lot of tips and tricks along the way that will help you to save a lot of time. I picked up the trick to crank up the transmission to 40 to enhance the look of the rendered fog planes on the desert scene. Then I went back to my Highlands scene file from a previous followed course and did the same and this improved the look of the 2D tree planes. So this convinced me to follow all the landscape tutorials by Yassine Larayedh and build a versatile skill set for making landscapes in Blender.

The course is complete and shows a lot of tips and processes that are not available on YouTube and is worth every cent of the dollar.

This was my first class on the Geometry Nodes. I didn't know how much I was missing by not trying to learn them. Thank you for this class!

Great course. I got soo much out of this course and now have so much more knowledge and practicle knowledge about Geometry nodes I can use in the real world. I will say though, if you don't know anything about materials, the last 2 lectures on materials will go over your head - besides that the course is great! I learned about a lot of nodes, and got a ton out of the course!

Excellent primer for geometry nodes! I ended up with the result that closely resembles the example. Well done, Yassine.

Superb organised class as always! Been through them all and learned a lot. Would welcome a deep dive into the shader nodes or more scene courses.

All of your courses are great. So informative, easy to follow along, plus the project files you supply help a lot whenever I made mistakes I had no idea how to fix, just so I could continue the rest of the course.

This class about geometry nodes was fun to do and learned a lot from it. First time playing around with geo nodes and this class helped a lot in learning the basics. It has peak my interest more in learning about them. Good class and in a short amount of time.

It's a great (and short) course that gets straight to the point and is SUPER easy to follow so I'd recommend this at any level if space, sci-fi, or planets are your thing. I like the fact that the instructor includes a lesson that breaks down the noise textures and different ways of looking at them.

This is great class, not to long and straight to the point. Awesome instructor, very easy to listen and follow. And what is the best is actually that results in my Blender are matching one in video, no additional troubleshooting needed. Great class!!! :)

This is one of the bet blender tutorials i've taken on this site. Certainly learnt alot of new things, especially compositing. Superb teacher!

I am genuinely impressed with this course depth and clarity. The step-by-step progression through each stage of highland creation in Blender has been both informative and enjoyable. The instructional style is clear and encouraging, making complex topics feel attainable.

I learned new techniques in a very nice way, not just following the steps of the tutorial but learning to understand how to use these techniques in other projects. The lessons were very inspiring and stimulated me to make an animation with this class as a starting point while adding a few extra's.

I found the last two chapters particularly valuable, learning to use the compositor via layers, a technique I'll definitely dive deeper into for its potential in saving rendering time. I appreciate the course's generic approach compared to the current 2D landscape generation one. Overall, a great learning experience for everyone.

Amazing course and awesome teacher. I'm still pretty new to blender and this was my first realistic blend. Super easy to follow along and everything is explained so well. Can't wait to try the teachers other courses and use the things I learned to make my own sci-fi projects in the future.

This is by far the most surprising course experience I have got in recent times! I loved the instructor, I feel he really knows his work well and though I previously thought the course is short in length and videos quantity, but when you start attending those clips, its really a fortunate surprise to find so many useful & fantastic tips and tricks related to not just the project in hand, but also which can be helpful in various other projects while dealing with the same program. I also learned a pretty lot about the nodes, Geometry nodes, shader settings, and was fascinated mainly to see that the mentor has managed to cover so much knowledge about the program in so little time, or very reasonable amount of time. Though, there are problems still with my final render, but I was more interested in learning more about the workflow, all the nodes and other areas that can be covered, and overall very pleased with the teachings, he was clear and carried no unwanted nonsense in his sessions. The audio and video quality is also great, feels top notch, and I am really looking forward for more interesting courses the mentor has to offer. Even as an Intermediate Blender user, I learned and covered so much with this course, guys you are going to love this- Great even for a warm up for taking big courses in the future, because I chose it for that only lol!

Great course, as are all the others. Totally underrated. I really hope you never stop making courses. I've taken all your classes and have now begun going through them again, adding my own ideas to the scenes now that I have a better grasp of how the program functions. You're the best!
