"When I enrolled in 3D Beast Academy, it was good for me to memorize a clean workflow, a clean approach to complex shapes, how to break them down. It was a nice and clean way to approach 3d modeling that was easy to understand."

"It's hard to express how much you helped me and how much I learned. It was the right time for me to push my career to the next level. It's happening, I'm living that right now, which is awesome. I got a new promotion and that led to an award at work. And things are going really well!"

"I feel like since joining the Academy I clearly developed and progressed as a 3D artist, thanks to those skills, I've been able to change jobs recently and started a new role working on CGI homeware work for Next a FTSE 100 company in the UK and one of the biggest fashion retailers.“

Your Instructor & Mentor
Like many beginner artists, I spent years jumping around YouTube tutorials as well as spending a small fortune on a 3d art degree—only to make minimal progress towards a 3D art career.
Today, I'm a professional 3D artist with experience in film and video games. I've created educational content for companies like Autodesk and had my 3D software reviews published in PC Mag.Â
Even though I accomplished most of my career goals, I always thought there must be a simpler, more cost-effective path to mastering the 3D skills to land your dream job working in the film or video games industry.Â
I worked for years to provide a better solution to help up-and-coming artists master 3d art and achieve their career goals.
And that's how Hard Surface Hero was born!
It's a comprehensive yet easy-to-follow program that has transformed thousands of students into industry-ready professionals.
Much Love,
