This course is aimed at the intermediate skilled users, so we would recommend to have some basic understanding of Blender before embarking on this space journey. The tempo is very fast. Though, we did our best to make it accessible. If you are up to the challenge, give it a shot.

We use Blender throughout the course, so naturally you’ll learn how to make spacey stuff in Blender. So if you plan to apply the knowledge in the other software (say, Maya), this will require additional effort on your side. 

A decent videocard is recommended, but not required. Aidy did a great job optimizing the techniques with a broad range of hardware in mind (spoilert alert: we were cheating!). In other words, you can run it on a potato.

One exception: the Quasar chapter. It requires volume shaders, so for this one a stronger videocard is needed.
