The Dojo Difference
Here you are learning within the setting of a independent game development studio. 3D Dojo creates our own video games and our staff works on client projects every day. We are actively working in the industry and we take the latest techniques and technologies used in our studio and provide that to our students in real-time. So, you will always be up to date on the most effective skills used in the 3D design industry. We even turn clients projects into student lessons. This gives you real-life experiences and an understanding of the types of requests, skills, and details leading companies are in the market for.
Student Feedback
"The combination of valuable content and a flexible schedule made it easy to stay engaged. The lessons were clear, practical, and directly applicable to real projects. The feedback was always constructive, helping me improve in areas I didn’t even realize needed work. The lessons were challenging but rewarding, and I always felt like I was progressing at a steady pace."
— Frankie
"Your teaching style is easy to understand and so easily transferable, things we have learned from the first class still hold weight and importance even now with how far I have gotten. The way you give feedback is one of the most positive and insightful ways I have ever seen, I never feel like I make any steps back and I never have any questions when feedback is done. Any question I would have during Q&A you have answered while doing critiques cause your feedback is so detailed and amazing."
