“Hello, Blender” like “Hello, World” 
First of all, thank you for this lovely courses 
I’m just a beginner to Blender and making models. I’m working on web application projects(PHP/Laravel and NodeJS) on my career. But I always, I want to build an OpenGL game with C++. Because of this, currently I’m working on C++&OpenGL and Blender. There is many game engine out of there but I don’t like to “design” game. I like "programming"game. I want to create a game from scratch with knowledge of all codes. Shaders, transformations, lighting, mapping etc. I have a lot of feature to learn.
I’m not good @blender but I’m developing this skill with this courses.
Here its my first well scene
And with VSM shadow method:
There is ugly shadows on object because of duplicated vertexes or lighting(probably).
