Hi,
I’m GhostKnight and I took this Blender courses to improve my skills in 3D modeling. I’m happy to joint the community! 
What kind of experience you had before?
I’ve studied in Multimedia Integration years ago and one of the courses was on 3D animation. I really loved it but the classes’ pace was too much. I had Autodesk™ back then. Now, I take Blender to add another string to my bow (and it’s free 
).
I tried Autodesk programs, 3D Max long ago, and Maya very recently. I found Blender to be much more handy and reliable, Blender didn’t crashed once in 40+ hours of work, and Autodesk stuff just keeps on misbehaving. And they want crazy money for it, I kinda hate autodesk. It may have sense for those aiming to be professional 3D modelists working in huge teams on huge projects, but for single independent “wannabe artist” like me - blender is just perfect.
