Your Best blender courses
youtube is changing, long form content does not performing as good as it used to and its changing how youtube tutorials are made, they have to be short, with snap edits barely covering detail and below 10minutes. this is why most blender tutorials are quick edits and thats why most of your favourite creators are now making courses if they want to cover more detailed topics since youtube will not push long form videos out as it used to.
for example.
The ultimate Anime course
TadayoshiCG, has a youtube channel dedicated to making anime in blender but also created this ultimate anime course that goes into detail showing you more that what is possible in a youtube video with better structuring, demos, tips and a teaching style that is the right speed to learn. it features over 9hrs of content, showing how to make anime shaders, modeling, compositing and more.
Assemble – Procedural Modeling And Animation With Blender’s Geometry Nodes
another good example is cg cookie, they have a youtube channel where they occasionaly post tutorials but if you want something more serious and more detail, you take there courses like this geometry nodes course where they make a whole theme park procedurally in geometry nodes. the course is structured into chapters each chapter introducing you slowly to more nodes and techniques to procedural modeling in blender and at the end of it, you will walk away knowing how to put together any structure procedurally in geometry nodes.

another great course is by creative shrimp, again they started by making youtube videos, then realized they needed a better platform to structure there course, where they can upload as much educational material for the student as necessary without negatively affecting there channel so they started releasing courses, from hardsurface modeling, 3d scanning, cinematic lighting and now there latest Nebura generation, that goes in depth on how to make fully volumetric nebulae to elevate your digital creations.
