Your Path to Game Art Mastery Starts With One Question

Not sure if 3D art and animation fits your creative goals? We help you figure that out before you commit. Because starting with clarity beats starting with confusion every time.

Find Your Starting Point

Game art covers a lot of ground. So we built a simple path to help you figure out where you actually fit in this industry. No heavy sales pitch—just honest direction.

1

Complete Beginner

Never touched 3D software? Start here. We walk through the fundamentals without assuming you know industry jargon or have artistic background. September 2025 intake opens in June.

2

Switching From 2D

Already draw or design but want to move into 3D game work? You skip some basics but need different thinking patterns. We focus on that transition specifically.

3

Refining Existing Skills

Worked with Blender or Maya before but need structure and portfolio direction? Our advanced track helps you build show-ready work and understand studio expectations better.

Character Modeling That Actually Looks Right

Getting anatomy correct in 3D is different from drawing it. Topology, edge flow, deformation—these terms mean nothing until you watch a character model collapse during animation.

We spend real time on why models fail and how to build them so they move properly. Not just pretty screenshots. Functional game assets that work in engine.

Students model three full characters by program end. Each one more complex. Each one actually rigged and tested in Unreal or Unity.

Animation Principles Meet Game Constraints

Film animation and game animation are cousins, not twins. You can't do motion capture for every indie project. You need to animate smart within tight budgets and technical limits.

Our animation track teaches you how to make 12 frames look as good as 60. How to fake weight. How to read animator curves and understand what game engines actually need.

By March 2026, you'll have a working demo reel with combat animations, locomotion cycles, and environmental interactions—all optimized for real-time rendering.

What Former Students Actually Say

Portrait of Nadia Fawzy, 3D environment artist

Nadia Fawzy

Environment Artist

I thought I'd struggle with the technical side since I came from graphic design. But the way they break down UV mapping and texturing made it click. Now I'm working on mobile game environments and actually understand what I'm doing instead of just following tutorials blindly. The portfolio reviews were tough but necessary.

Program Investment

We keep pricing straightforward. No hidden fees or surprise material costs. What you see covers software licenses, instructor access, and project feedback throughout the program.
