Excellent classes and inspiring presentations. Extremely valuable for researchers and also a wonderful stepping stone for budding science illustrators.

I have always wondered how all those wonderful schematics in high-impact-factor journals are created. Then I came to know about the Blender software, which I was intimidated to start learning. All the Blender tutorials on YouTube were overwhelming with too much information, which I wondered would ever be useful for my scientific requirements. Fortunately, I came across the course from SciDart Academy, instructed by Mr Rafeeq. He introduced a lot of useful tools and many wonderful possibilities of Blender for scientific illustration. Cherry on top, he introduced many AI tools that could help an easier navigation in this learning process. Overall, I am now highly motivated to make more illustrations and learn Blender in depth. Thanks again to Mr Rafeeq for curating this wonderful course, and I highly recommend whoever wishes to make stunning scientific illustrations.

Thanks for explaining it detailing...I would definitely recommend my friends too

Scidart's course on Blender has changed the way I thought about graphic designing forever. I had thought that this was not my cup of tea. Once I tried learning Blender with YouTube videos but was unsuccessful. The whole course is designed in such a way that it opens your mind to be able to teach yourself how to learn something new. This course needs no prerequisites and is the best for absolute beginners.

It was a great course to get a basic understanding of how to use Blender for scientific illustrations. Though the assignments were not very tough, it covered almost all the basic aspects required for illustrations. The hybrid mode for the workshop suits it since everything in blender cannot be covered in 4 hours, and it gives ample time to practice what is taught and the same time, clear doubts during the live sessions. Overall. a great workshop.

The overall learning experience was awesome. I was thinking of learning this kind of software as I need to draw the schematics for my manuscript. And blender solved all the problems. Rafeeque has put great effort by which I will try to learn more and I hope he will help in future if we face any problem. Thank you for teaching us. I will obviously recommend this workshop to my friends also.

This is the best workshop I ever had. Being my first workshop, I learnt a lot of things. It never felt like I need to know everything. Rafeeque sir taught basics perfectly, without making it hard. It works way smooth. I loved the way he teaches.
Thank a lot Rafeeque Sir !

I recently attended a 4 day workshop on "Blender". It has been a very enriching experience to learn from Rafeeque and the way he made such a complex software so easy to learn and understand is just remarkable.
