This Is For You If...

πŸ”

You keep hitting the same wallsYou've Googled it, watched the YouTube video, and you're still stuck. You just need someone to look at it with you.

🐒

Your progress feels too slowYou're putting in time but not improving fast enough. A bit of the right feedback at the right moment changes everything.

🎨

Your renders don't look the way you wantThe model is done but the render looks off and you don't know why. We can fix that in 5 minutes on a call.

🧩

You don't know what to work on nextYou finish one thing and have no idea what to tackle next. We'll help you build a clear direction.

πŸ”‡

You have no one to give you real feedbackFriends say "looks cool." You need someone who actually knows what they're looking at to tell you what's wrong.

⚑

You want to shortcut the learning curveYou don't want to spend months figuring out what an expert could show you in 10 minutes on a screen share.

What Took Us 25 Years to Learn - Yours in 8+ Hours.

25+ years of hard-earned 3D experience - distilled into 8 hours of content you can start using today. The kind of knowledge that took us years of trial, error, and expensive mistakes to figure out. It's yours, included free with your enrollment.

What You Can Bring to the Calls

Technical Modeling Issues

Broken meshes, bad topology, shading errors, modifier problems - share your screen and we'll find and fix the issue live.

Hard Surface Workflows

Whether you're in Blender or Plasticity, we'll walk you through the right workflow for whatever you're building so you stop second guessing yourself.

Rendering and Presentation

Good work presented badly doesn't get noticed. We'll help you get your renders looking sharp and your work presented in a way that stands out.

Design and Composition

Not sure why your model looks off? Bring it to the call. We'll break down the design, framing, and composition issues and show you how to fix them.

Staying on Track and Making Progress

If you keep starting projects and not finishing them, or losing motivation, we can help you build a process that actually keeps you moving forward.

Anything Else You're Stuck On

Seriously. If it's related to your 3D work and you don't know who to ask, bring it to the call. That's exactly what this is for.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the program work?
Twice a week we run a live group call. You hop on, share your screen if you have something to work through, and get direct feedback from Josh and Ryuu. Between calls there's a Discord where you can drop quick questions. All calls are recorded so you can watch back anything you missed.
Is this a one-time payment or recurring?
One-time payment.
Is there a payment plan available?
Yes, we have a 2-payment split option available at checkout.
How long do I have access?
The live calls run for 6 months. The bonus curriculum modules are lifetime access and yours to keep forever.
Do I have to show up to every call?
No. Show up when you have something to work on or a question to ask. If you just want to listen and watch others get feedback that's fine too. Everything is recorded.
What if I miss a call?
All calls are recorded so you can watch back later.
How big is the group?
We keep it small on purpose. This isn't a 500-person webinar. The group is capped so calls are actually useful and everyone gets real time and attention.
Is this for beginners or experienced artists?
Anyone who is actively learning and making work. Complete beginners may find the calls move fast, but intermediate artists and people with some experience in 3D will get the most out of it.
Can you help with Plasticity?
Yes. We use both Blender and Plasticity, so we can help with either on the calls.
Can you help me get clients or make money with 3D?
You should be learning 3D first and foremost because you enjoy it. If your only goal is to find a niche to make money, go learn sales or something different. However, if you enjoy 3D and you also want to make money with it, we can help you maximize those chances because we've done this ourselves. It all starts with your work and portfolio, which is what we'd recommend focusing your time on.
