We also offer a few Blender tips and tricks to our Youtube Channel and a Discord channel to explore if you'd like to get to know us a bit better before joining.

When you're ready for more

The free account is a genuine starting point. When you want the full library, live sessions, and more feedback on your work, there are two ways forward:

CORE — buy our 11-course fundamentals curriculum outright, yours to keep.
Inner Circle — membership with live programming, monthly challenges with critique, and the full 200+ course library.

Already had a membership?

If you've cancelled a paid membership, your account doesn't go anywhere; you drop back to the free tier automatically, your completed courses stay completed, and you keep your place in The Commons. Resubscribe whenever you like and pick up where you left off.
