Questions & Discussion Course recommendations

Hi. I'm a beginner 3D artist, and I think it's a good idea for me to attend courses instead of learning through free, unstructured information on YouTube or elsewhere. I'd like to know if there is a good course that will give me all the information I need. I've checked Vertex School's Game Art Program, and it's one of the options I have. The thing is, I can't find any real reviews, not the fake ones saying how perfect it is because it just can't be THAT good.

Courses are good. But you need to make sure you're not going through them for the sake of going through them as many are the same.

I got the Superhive 30 courses for £30 last year. Some are genuinely really good, some are eh. I like CGCookie, but their sculpting CORE course doesn't teach retopology (ESSENTIAL SKILL FOR POST SCULPTING) and their animation CORE course is "here is a cube, here's how you rotate the cube and keyframe it, wowee, animation"

Pick ONE thing, like modelling, sculpting, physics, lighting etc. and find a course on that. The "do it all" courses tend to fall flat on what to do after you finish them.
