Curriculum

Complete Learning Overview

Our courses are structured around the natural workflow of professional 3D artists. Each module builds upon the previous, creating a cohesive journey from foundational concepts to advanced execution.

Core Modules

Spatial Fundamentals

Develop your understanding of 3D space, coordinate systems, and viewport navigation. Learn to think dimensionally and visualize forms before creating them.

3D coordinate systems and axes
Viewport manipulation and camera control
Basic primitive forms and transformations
Proportional relationships in space

Topology & Edge Flow

Master the art of clean geometry. Understand how edge loops, poles, and quad topology affect both modeling efficiency and final deformation.

Quad-based modeling principles
Edge loop placement and flow
Pole management and optimization
Subdivision surface preparation

Sculpting Techniques

Explore digital sculpting as a form of artistic expression. Learn brush control, form refinement, and how to add meaningful detail at every scale.

Brush dynamics and pressure sensitivity
Primary, secondary, and tertiary forms
Anatomical landmarks and structure
Surface texture and micro-detail

Materials & Texturing

Bring surfaces to life through material creation. Understand how light interacts with different surfaces and how to recreate those properties digitally.

PBR material workflows
UV unwrapping strategies
Texture painting and projection
Procedural material creation

Lighting Principles

Learn to shape mood and focus through light. Understand three-point lighting, color temperature, and how to guide the viewer's eye through illumination.

Light types and properties
Three-point lighting setup
Color temperature and mood
Shadow control and ambient occlusion

Rendering & Presentation

Transform your work into compelling visuals. Master camera composition, render settings, and post-processing to showcase your creations effectively.
