BEFORE YOU GET STARTED

Mentorship FAQ

A few answers to help you find your mentor and plan your next step.

How do I choose the right mentor?

Use the filters to explore mentors by discipline, preferred style, and skill level. Review their portfolio, software expertise, and mentorship focus. If you are unsure, book a consultation to discuss your goals and find a suitable match.

Do I need experience or a finished portfolio?

Different mentors support different starting points. Check the skill levels on their profile and share any work you have, even if it is unfinished. This helps us discuss whether the mentorship is a good fit for you.

How does the mentorship work?

Start by sharing your experience and goals. You and your mentor then choose a focused project and learning plan. Weekly one-on-one feedback helps you develop your work between sessions, with time to review your progress and next steps.

Can I work on my own project?

Bring your project idea or work in progress to the initial discussion. Your mentor can help you define a manageable scope and decide whether to build on it or start something better suited to your learning goals.

Which software will I use, and is it included?

Each mentor’s profile lists their software expertise. The tools you use will depend on your project and learning plan. Software support is available to eligible mentees; confirm eligibility and which tools are covered before enrolling.

How long does it take, and when are the sessions?

Check the individual mentorship page for the available duration and commitment. Confirm session times, time-zone compatibility, and the expected practice time with the team before enrolling.

How much does a mentorship cost?

Pricing and any available payment options are shown on the individual mentorship page. Contact the team to confirm the current price and what is included for your chosen mentor before you apply.

How do I get started?

Choose a mentor and select Explore mentorship to learn more and apply. If you would like help deciding, use Get a consultation on this page to discuss your starting point, interests, and goals.

SUPPORT THAT MOVES YOUR WORK FORWARD

Your project.
Supported at every step.

Choose your mentor, explore their available weekly schedule, and confirm your plan together. Your instructor’s profile is where you’ll find their pricing and duration.

1-TO-1 INDUSTRY FEEDBACK

Get industry-professional feedback.

Work directly with an industry professional who reviews your actual files, explains what’s holding your work back, and helps you choose what to improve next.

  • Live critique during your booked sessions
  • Clear priorities for your next iteration
  • Practical guidance on technique and workflow

Feedback and file reviews happen within your booked sessions. Put the guidance into practice between sessions, then return with your progress.

PRODUCTION-READY PORTFOLIO

Build toward a production-ready portfolio.

Develop a focused portfolio project using professional workflows, thoughtful iteration, and a polished presentation. Your mentor helps you work toward the quality standards of your chosen discipline.

  • A clear project brief and quality targets
  • Workflow, technical quality and polish reviews
  • Portfolio presentation and project breakdown

Readiness is defined with your mentor for your discipline and starting level. Completion depends on scope and practice; a finished portfolio or job is not guaranteed.

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.
