I've been suffering with 3d animations.... finally I've found a video series that explains this. Thanks a bunch

I have seen many tons and tons of videos and dude, yours is the best of all of them. I'm so lucky to have found your channel. Each step is so much detailed and even explained it with a small summary. Seriously you are just awesome! and also our savior.

Thanks a lot✨

[darkrist]

I like how he explains things... makes them look easy and simple

[agix]

I've just watched all your videos, you don't have a lot but the amount of knowledge I've learned in a few of your videos taught me more than 100s of other unity videos have taught me. You have a gift with the structure of your videos and teaching ways. Normally I'd expect this level of teaching to be a paid service. I can't thank you enough for helping me get my foot in the door with Unity. Keep up the amazing work and I hope 2021 is kind to you in growth and success <3.

[forestwolfinabox]

I am currently using this series to add animations to make game. Thanks for the great information!

[gfujigo]

Oh my God your explanations are so clear. Keep up the good work.

[ArcaneX]

You make the best tutorials, have watched several others, but yours is imo the best. Thanks alot!

[hmpbs]

first video of yours i've ever watched and i can already tell you're great at this. the video is not only very well structured but you explain everything very well and don't overlook fundamental stuff. you're a very good teacher

[Atomic]

Nice video, made it very easy and simple. Usually YouTubers will go 100 miles per hour and I can’t keep up but you are different. You just earned yourself a sub

[KVergot]

Excellent explanations. I like that you don’t just say click this click that. You have earned another follower.
