FAQs
Three Division 3D Accelerator Cohorts are intensive 7 or 10-week master apprentice courses tailored to transform apprentices into professional 3D artists. Cohorts encompass live tutorials, project assignments, peer reviews, individualized feedback, and a wealth of resources delivered through newsletters.
Our cohorts are meticulously crafted for individuals wanting to reach a professional level with their 3D art. Whether you're a beginner eager to learn the ropes or an intermediate artist aiming to refine your skills and professionalize your portfolio, our program is your stepping stone.
We recommend students be ages 14-15 and older in order to get the most benefit from our courses. Younger students could participate with parental involvement to help fill in gaps.
Apprentices will master a comprehensive skill set, including but not limited to, basic and advanced 3D modeling, material shading, intricate scene crafting, principles of lighting and rendering, animation fundamentals, environment design, and the art of portfolio creation.
All participants will need a computer with the free version of Blender installed, you can download Blender for free here. Almost any computer will run Blender. The software will run faster on PCs that are built specifically for gaming or studio work, but most home PCs will work sufficiently for our purposes. Other specific project materials will be shared prior to the workshop.
The cohorts are structured around weekly 1-hour live tutorials supplemented by project assignments for practical application. Additionally, apprentices benefit from offline feedback, engage in peer review sessions on Discord, and receive regular updates and resources through our newsletters.
Throughout a cohort, you'll receive personalized support via 1:1 tutorials, group calls, and portfolio reviews. Our Discord community further facilitates peer reviews, allowing you to gain diverse feedback and engage with fellow apprentices.
You should allocate time for attending live tutorials, completing project assignments, and engaging in peer reviews and feedback sessions weekly. A commitment of about 5-10 hours per week is recommended to fully immerse in and reap the benefits of the program.
Indeed, in the concluding week, apprentices undertake a Master Project, crafting a comprehensive 3D scene, and compile a professional portfolio. While formal certification isn't provided, these capstone projects stand as a testament to your professional readiness in the 3D art industry.
We recommend attending live sessions for the most interactive experience. However, should you miss one, recorded sessions will be available for you to catch up. Nevertheless, active participation is crucial for an optimal learning journey.
Absolutely, a cohort doesn't just end; the final week involves a detailed portfolio review and a concluding call. Our aim is to foster a lasting community, offering continuous support and guidance on your professional path.
