Efficiency secrets: how did we become leaders in our areas?

No employees

We do not have any hired teacher who, for a small fee, somehow “teaches” something that has not been used for a long time. Teachers (project founders and partners of the school) are more responsible for your results, they give their best at trainings. We really benefit when you reach your goals and recommend us in the future.

Teachers are practicing professionals

You can see this in our portfolio and current projects. We know what is currently needed on the market, and what is already outdated. And we will be able to give you only the necessary up-to-date knowledge without unnecessary informational garbage.

We love what we do

As you noticed, we do not have paid marketing. We do not store your cookies in order to catch up with you for a month with ads and do not impose anything on you. And we just do our job – cool CG projects and lessons based on them. We are doing this project with pleasure, so that you are also satisfied.

Learn to solve real problems

In second place are tools and theory. It’s in our free tutorials.

Small groups at online trainings (up to 10 people)

The main thing in trainings is feedback from the teacher. This will give you more attention, more feedback, more communication and opportunities to get a good chunk of the teaching experience. Therefore, we do not inflate groups through marketing and work with you almost individually.

Free support and advice after the end of the course

Both in real projects and in further training. You can always contact practicing teachers about any questions and we will help you.

School on the market since 2012

For 10 years, our trainings, experience and educational materials have gone through fire, water and copper pipes. We have honed them to perfection, so we can train you faster and more efficiently than others.

Выгорание

Проблема 21 столетия. Как не выгореть на работе занимаясь даже любимым делом? В начале давайте разберем с физиологической точки зрения что такое "выгорание". Зачастую оно наступает после нескольких волн пересиживания и овертаймов. А иногда и просто после 5-7 лет...

Удвоимся в кризис?

На связи Олег, давно ничего не писал. Несколько месяцев делал новый большой интернет-проект. Но пришло время и есть повод догнать упущенное. Пару недель назад в тематическом Fb паблике я сделал пост, где предложил дженералистам не демпинговать в период кризиса и брать...

Собеседуем компанию. Вопросы, которые ты обязан задать будущему боссу.

Будем честными, не каждая компания (а тем более в СНГ) стоит того, что бы в ней работали даже начинающие специалисты. Нет, я сейчас не горю лучами яростной злости к своему последнему боссу. Те компании, в которых я работал перед уходом в свободное плавание были очень...

[Статья] Почему компьютерная графика должна стоить намного дешевле.

Часто удивляюсь, где у людей берется столько наглости просить за 30-минут поста для художественного фильма по 700-900$ ? Вы же эти пол года не работаете, а играетесь себе в удовольствие. Мало того, сейчас компьютер все делает сам. AI режет маски автоматически....
