Un corso ben fatto, dona nozioni di base della grafica in modo da essere accessibile anche per chi non ha mai affrontato un percorso simile prima. Personalmente ho trovato molto utile la messa a disposizione sia di modelli creati dal docente che di strumenti da integrare nei vari programmi, rendendo il corso più fluido e risparmiando tempo sulla ricerca dei componenti aggiuntivi col lightsaber etc.
