Jesse came to 3DTA to sharpen his 3D game art skills and polish his portfolio. After taking several of our workshops he became employed by Signal Studios in Seattle where he now works as a game environmental artist.
"3D Training Academy workshops provided me with all the necessary training I required to start a career in the industry. The entire experience was great and I feel really confident in the skills I gained from the workshops." - Jesse H.
Tim found brief work in games after graduating from another university but felt his skills were not up to industry standards. He has just completed a 6 month internship at Foundation 9/Griptonite studios and was recently hired on full time as an environmental and cleanup artist.
"I was not new to 3D, but 3DTA was able to push me beyond the limit, and it really shows when you compare my older work to the work I produced after my training workshops at 3DTA. They transformed me from an amateur artist into a professional, and helped me break into the video game industry. It's definitely worth the time and investment."- Tim Y.
Kyle found himself unhappy at his former university and decided our training was more effective and industry related. In a very short time Kyle became an intern at Foundation 9/ Griptonite and recently was offered a full time artist position.
"After spending a year at a university I found myself not learning the skills I had enrolled there for. I chose 3DTA after looking into their workshops and speaking with some of their students. Now I'm working at a major game studio thanks to their training." - Kyle E.
After working in architecture for a decade, Tim felt that it was time to renew his career goals and skills in the gaming industry. 3DTA retrained Tim in entirely new approaches to modeling, texturing and game engine integration. Microsoft's Turn 10 Studios employed Tim as a full time artist on their Forza team.
"My 3DTA experience has been fantastic. I have worked in architecture for several years creating 3D renderings. 3DTA helped me greatly improve my skills as a 3D artist. I fully recommend 3DTA for artists who want to take their skills to the next level." -Tim D.
Paul worked for years as a successful graphic artist and web designer but felt it was time to explore new career paths. He quickly grasped the 3D process as a 3DTA student and has now successfully completed half of a 1-year internship at ArenaNet.
"3D Training Academy's real-world studio environment and training methods were responsible for teaching me the skills that have helped get me to where I am today." - Paul C.
