    दरअसल हम भारतीयों को मुफ्त की चीजें पाना बहुत पसंद होता है। जैसा कि आप मेरे जैसे और अन्य लोगों को मुफ्त में पढ़ा रहे हैं। कहीं न कहीं यह बहुत महत्वपूर्ण लगता है क्योंकि कभी-कभी हमारे पास निवेश करने के लिए पैसे नहीं होते हैं या कोई नया कौशल सीखने के लिए खर्च नहीं कर सकते हैं। आप बहुत अच्छा काम कर रहे हैं यह कहने की बात नहीं है आप इसे बहुत अच्छे से जानते हैं फिर भी मैं आपका आभार व्यक्त करना चाहता हूँ धन्यवाद।

    मुझे कार्टून फिल्मे बनाना अच्छा लगता है पर अभी तक मै कुछ भी नहीं जनता हूँ कि एनिमेटेड फिल्म कैसे बनाई जाती है। भगवान की कृपा से आपके माध्यम से सीखने को मिलेगा तो मेरा ये सपना भी साकार हो जायेगा। मुझे बड़ी बेसब्री से उस दिन का इंतज़ार है जिस मैं इसे सीखना शुरू करूँगा।
  • I am enrolled to this program recently and I am also very new to the fields of animation. Excited to learn a lot throughout the entire process. This program is structured so well and lots of additional resources are already given for enhanced learning.
    Hope I can do well in this program.
    Thanks and Regards

    The Maya software which the instructor used it's different from the current version the students who enrolled are advised to download and so there's so much trouble in doing the same what he teaches and no sort of assistance provided when asked about the same in discussion about the problem faced regarding the interface which ultimately made me feel annoyed and decided not to go with the course after 2 weeks of learning

    But I should appreciate the instructor, he's good at teaching.
  • I am interested to learn this course..........kindly i request to start course immediately........i am hasitha from rvrjcce.....(y19ce132)

This was a great topic, and the teachers who explained it were fantastic. Their teaching style was so simple and easy to understand that I didn't feel any difficulties at all. This topic seemed very complex at first, but the teacher's teaching methods and experience made it easy, and I started enjoying learning it.

    Hello Sir,

    I am Bikram Majhi, 4th year BS-MS student at IISER KOLKATA. I have no prior knowledge of animation as such, So it would be really nice if you start from basics and then gradually increase levels.

    Thank you,

    Bikram Majhi

    Hello, I'm a btech cse student...
    I'm always thinking of learning something new which make me busy. I tried lots of cource for animation but their voice tone is quit difficult to understand which makes me uncomfortable and i could not watch their videos even half an hour ....
    I found this cource so helpful..
    I've learnt lots of thing and I'm surprised currently I'm dreaming of having own studio.. :)
    It's just within 3 months...
    Wow.
    Thank you
    ~regards

    The enrollment process was just a bit confusing but overall experience is good. It's better if it shows session staring date and time at the time of enrollment completion

    The course is very productive and makes the learning easy. Live interaction with Abhishek sir is also very productive and online case study sessions also helps in getting the idea of Hollywood film industry's CGs and VFX. Just want to add that if medical animation gets included then it will be very useful for me as I am doing a bachelors course in medical animation and audio visual creation.
    Thanks
