junior 3D artist.

Yes. Students who complete the full CG Fundamentals program, meet the required passing standard, finish the projects and homework, and demonstrate industry-standard production workflows qualify for the M3DS First-Job Guarantee. You build the skills and portfolio needed for junior 3D artist roles. If you have not yet secured your first junior role, M3DS continues your personal mentorship, portfolio refinement, and job-application guidance at no extra tuition until you do.

No. You start with the basics. You still need a computer that can run the apps. You also need good internet and steady study time each week.

Start dates depend on available one-to-one mentorship capacity. Submit your application, then book an Admissions call. An Admissions Officer will discuss your goals and study plan and confirm the next available start before you enroll.

Plan on about 20 hours each week for the standard 18-month pace. With about 30 focused hours each week, the intensive pace is about 16 months and adds more time for practice, revision, and portfolio polish. Your expert mentor team helps you choose and adjust the right pace.

First, you learn the core 3D fundamentals every student needs and complete a guided project. Then your mentors customize your practice, project focus, and portfolio direction around your level, strengths, interests, and career goals. You build portfolio work for the direction you want to pursue, such as character art, environment art, or game development. Admissions will show you the project options and help define your path before you enroll.

You work directly with expert instructors every day in your private Discord channel through ongoing personal 1-to-1 mentorship. Instructors are available across a 12-hour daily window, and individual guidance can extend to several hours a day while you work through lessons, homework, and projects. You also have weekly 1-to-1 planning and live personal sessions for hands-on help. Your instructors stay with the work, explain the process, and help you understand each next step.
