I have attended Academy Year 1 % 2 here and I can say the whole program was on point! The classes were all focused on important learning that I could implement in wherever my creativity took me to. The instructors were very detailed and helpful, and whenever I would hit a wall they would help me out throughout the whole year. And just to note before M3DS Academy I had no experience in the 3D world, and after I completed now I feel confident in creating fully realistic environments, game-ready characters, game assets etc... If you would like to learn and receive the best education to enter the 3D world, this is where you should go!

I attended Academy Couse 01 & 02. Loved every part of it. They really put everything on the lessons, on teaching, and they make sure you go through and understand every detail. It's amazing how they also encourage you to work on your own projects and give you advices on how to make everything better. I 'annoyed' them with so many questions, however, the not just answered all of them but they made sure I understand by sending even screenshots and even video where I was doing something wrong.
And since I was one of the lucky ones to attend live, the atmosphere there was so nice and they went to each student to see who is doing what and advice and help on the times when one would get stuck somewhere.
Another thing is that they give homework and they literally tell if something doesn't look right, and if you forget a homework, they write and ask for them.
I highly recommend to take the courses with M3DS Academy, and work with these guys because they are really great people.
