You are welcome, Ben. And thank you and your collaborators for creating such awesome courses that are allowing people to become better artists, programmers and game devs. Its been awesome learning Unity and C# over that last several months, I look forward to finishing the course and starting the Unreal and C++ one. In fact you have inspired me to create some tutorials too, hopefully by the end of this year I’ll be able to pass on some of my knowledge to a new breed of 3D artists too.

Same from me. I can’t for the life of me figure out how I ended up at Udemy and only joined on a whim thinking I don’t have much to lose - and all my spare time lately has been spent thinking about games, making games, and feeling inspired by some of the incredible modelling in the Blender course, that I even started playing about with a rather crude modelling tool (not Blender) for making things in games.
And now I’m pretty much visiting this site multiple times a day - I can’t imagine what my life would’ve been like without this course, the interaction, the inspiration … and I can admit even some of the perspiration … if I had known this course was this good I really would’ve joined sooner.

And also a special thanks to users such as @OboShape, @Galandil, @Morgaine_Christensen, @McFuzz, @Michael_Whitaker, people that really makes a difference, always willing to help the others!

That’s very kind of you Johnny, and appreciated, thank you.
It has been great to see so many people come to the forums and really help build this community and go from a position of asking questions to so very confidently, and helpfully, answering them for other people. So many people taking the initiative to put together collaborative groups, weekly and monthly challenges and bringing forward new and different ideas.
I fully appreciate not everyone celebrates Christmas, and I’m sure there are a number of significant dates throughout the year which mark special events for a variety of beliefs, faiths, religions, historic events and cultures, and I apologise for not being aware of them all for our fantastically diverse community, but where ever you are on our little planet I sinverely wish you and yours a wonderful 2017 full of happiness, good health, many successes and the strength to over come any challenges the year may present you with.

Happy New Year, Joao! You are terribly kind to include me in your special thanks, especially with such wonder people you listed as being helpful.
climbs on my soapbox with a wink I, for one, feel community is about helping each other, which in turns makes the community strong and prosperous. We should all try to help one another even if our suggestions/answers/thoughts may be incorrect…the point is, we should try to help one another and not be shy about participating…learn from the experience! Hopefully, others agree! 
Happy New Year, to Everyone in this fine community!
I must agree, a special THANK YOU goes to @Rob for all his work and helpfulness over this past year. Without his assistance, the experience with this forum would probably have driven me not to participate. Anytime I asked, Rob graciously assisted with my weird and/or stupid ideas/suggestions. His genuineness about assisting is really something special, which is something rare these days! THANK YOU again, Rob.

Thanks! I think each of us should be kind. If we were all kind, the world would certainly be a better place. One must lead by example and, you certainly lead well @Rob!
P.S. Just so you know, I do not give compliments that aren’t deserved.
