Benefits Of Joining

Portfolio Development

We'll help you build a portfolio that actually gets attention - what to include, how to present your work, and how to make it land clients or job offers.

Monetizing Your 3D Skills

Not sure how to make money from your work? We've done it. We can help you figure out the right path - freelance, products, courses, or all three.

Technical Modeling Issues

Broken meshes, bad topology, shading errors, modifier problems - send us the file and we'll find and fix the issue directly with you.

Hard Surface Workflows

Whether you're in Blender or Plasticity, we can walk you through the right workflow for whatever you're building so you stop second guessing yourself. Just shoot us a message or screenshot.

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.

Getting Clients and Freelance Work

We've navigated this ourselves and can help you find and land real paid work. We prefer attracting clients and having them come to us. We'll make sure your work and portfolio is optimized to maximize the chances that people see your work. We've done this personally with our own portfolios.

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. Go through our mindset & productivity modules. These are pieces of knowledge we would've paid thousands of dollars for at the start.

Anything Else You're Stuck On

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the Academy?
The training modules inside are lifetime access. The coaching elements are available for 6 months, which is generally plenty of time for all of our students.
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.
Is this a group program or actual 1-1 access?
The group calls are, obviously, group calls. The 1-1 DM support is direct access to Ryuu and I, so you can message us for help, send screenshots, Blender files, etc. If it's something super tricky, we can hop on a quick call to solve the problem with you.
How quickly do you respond to messages?
If we're at the computer, within a couple minutes.
Do I have to show up to every call?
No, only if you have a question or want to hang out and listen.
What if I miss a call?
All calls are recorded so you can watch back later.
Is this for beginners or experienced artists?
Both. It is a coaching and support program for anyone learning hard surface modeling.
How do I book my monthly private call?
Message us and we'll find a time that works for both of us.
What can I use the private call for?
Any specific questions you have. We can go over your portfolio together, fix it together, take a look at your blend files or models and give feedback, talk about mindset and career - anything you want, really.
Can you help with Plasticity?
Yes. This program is also great for Plasticity users. We use both Blender and Plasticity, so we can help with either.
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.
