BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
A few answers to help you find your mentor and plan your next step.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Industry Recognized 3D Art Training
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.
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.
Feedback and file reviews happen within your booked sessions. Put the guidance into practice between sessions, then return with your progress.
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.
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.
12-month licenses for the tools you need are included when required for your agreed mentorship program. No separate software charge for the included tools, just more focus on your work.
Before enrollment, confirm the tools you need, vendor eligibility, permitted use, and the start and end dates of your 12-month licenses. This is the software access period, not the mentorship duration. Other tools, renewals, perpetual licenses and unrestricted commercial use are not automatically included.
When your instructor teaches Maya in an eligible program, complete your training and required steps to receive an Autodesk Certificate of Completion, issued by your approved instructor through Autodesk’s training system.
Your instructor confirms completion. You receive a record of the Maya training you completed.
Course registration, completion, evaluation, and instructor approval apply. This is a training-completion certificate, not an exam-based Autodesk professional certification. Eligibility is confirmed before booking.
Portfolio promotion is part of your mentorship. We’ll share your approved portfolio work through M3DS Academy’s social media channels, with artist credit and the promotional permission set out in your signed agreement.
Across M3DS Academy’s social channels
The proposed agreement includes non-exclusive promotional rights in perpetuity for approved mentorship portfolio work, including after your program ends. Final wording requires legal review. Follower total supplied by M3DS Academy, not independently verified. Audiences may overlap; reach is not guaranteed. Work, usage rights and initial publication timing are confirmed together.
When your portfolio meets our quality standard, we’ll promote selected standout work to relevant international festivals as part of your mentorship support.
Festival promotion is selective, not automatic. Eligibility, deadlines and any entry fees are agreed before submission. Acceptance, screening, awards and employment are decided independently and are not guaranteed.

File reviews, demonstrations and clear next actions in your sessions.
Keep feedback, decisions and next steps in one place.
See how far you’ve come and what to focus on next.

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.
