Learn 3D Modelling – The Complete Blender Creator Course

I’ve done pretty much the full tour of the various sites that offer free online courses by now and this time my curiosity has led me to a site that only sells them for money: Udemy. Being color blind and not having much of a creative spark, I’m never going to be much of an artist.

I’ve never quite understood why she doesn’t seem to be more recognized in the west, especially now that they’re emphasizing female directors so heavily. I’ve also found that despite this being quite a famous film, it is impossible to find it, legally or not, anywhere other than on YouTube. Unless a film is added to an online library or released as part of the Criterion Collection or something, it will probably just disappear.
