Why should you learn from me?

I’m an indie games developer with some official experience in CG industry. My knowledge is coming from self-study. May be you are on the same place right now when I actually was about ten years ago. You can see my works. Can you do better? Of course you can, but you have to start from something. Let me give you the basics, so later I can be proud from my students.

Nobody can promise you “a ticket” or a work in CG industry shortly after taking any course. But I can promise you that by the end of my course you will be able to work on your own ideas. Without stress and questions regarding tools and methods. You have to practice, polish your new skills, so you can find better or faster solutions to reach impressive results.

Who this course is for:

• Everyone, who have a passion to study and create new things
• The best fit is for future games creators

What you’ll learn

• Autodesk Maya will become your best friend instead of unfamiliar creature
• Tools and Commands for effective build process of game-ready models
• Optimal knowledge and tactical methods regarding low-poly geometry
• Know to divide: Modeling and UV layout in Maya / Texturing workflow in Substance Painter
• Create model LODs (Level of Details) – manually vs automatic
