    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 recently joined the NPTEL VFX and 3D Animation course, completing two weeks. The content is well-structured, and the video lectures are informative. Instructors are knowledgeable, and assignments reinforce learning. The learning materials aid in understanding fundamentals. The course offers flexibility and a user-friendly platform. I look forward to delving deeper into the subject. Overall, it's a positive experience, recommended for those interested in VFX and 3D Animation.

    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.

    Using animation enables students to visualise and understand complex subjects or processes. As well as simplifying messages and complex subjects, animation-based learning can also help improve learners' retention. Our brains can process visual information efficiently and quickly.

    The new animation course exceeded my expectations in terms of content and practical application. The modules covered a wide range of animation techniques, providing a comprehensive understanding of the subject.The course platform's user-friendly interface and additional resources further supported the learning journey.

    It's tough without practical class. Animation one to one class is useful to understand properly.

    Secondly, even though we attend the class or update feedback, we do not get any black n white certificate through mail showing we have attended the course. I can understand certification only we get after writing the test.
