We will be more than happy to schedule a live online info session over Discord to discuss further.
Consists of 18 Lessons,
followed up by Practice sessions

There are two ways to learn with us, by diving straight into the ENTIRE COURSE, or taking it step by step with INDIVIDUAL SECTIONS.
By opting for the entire course, you not only receive a discount but also 6 bonus lessons covering topics like LODs, Rendering, and Mid-Poly Workflow.
This course structure ensures a more comprehensive perspective on how AAA asset creation is approached from start to finish.
The best students may get an internship offer* at Art Bully Productions. During three months, they will have an opportunity to work on internal ABP projects or
client AA / AAA games, depending on the studio’s schedule at the given moment. The internship’s workload is spread across eight hours per workday.
After the three-month evaluation, a selected few may be considered to join the Art Bully team as full-time employees and propel their careers to new heights!
*except the BULLY Course plan, where the internship is guaranteed

During the course, the student will have obligatory homework after every lesson, as well as numerous exercise assets. These will help practice and solidify newly acquired skills from the lessons. Among these, there will be 5 key portfolio assets, which will be done from start to finish, with high attention to detail.
After completing the course, the student will have 5 fully finished, AAA standard portfolio pieces.
Where the student develops skills for creating any blocky, angular design with predominantly flat surfaces and right-angle edges. Students will be introduced
to “floaters”, and how to utilize them to further push the level of detail on their model without changing the model’s geometry. Optimization will be one of the primary focus points throughout the entirety of the modeling stage, after which textures will be developed at the highest, AAA quality.
Creating the lamp asset will teach students an important pre-production phase, where combining multiple references will be needed to ensure the final design of the lamp is an original creation, which is often the case when meeting clients’ prerequisites. Students will be guided through the creation of the said model,
where they will be taught how to convincingly alter the design and incorporate parts of the references while maintaining the prop’s functionality and realism.
During the creation process of these two assets, the primary focus will be placed on their UVs, and how to efficiently create and optimize them, all while avoiding the obvious repetitive patterns on the model’s textures.
In stark difference to the lamp’s prerequisites, where the design was constructed utilizing multiple references, it’s here where the student will be faced with creating an identical and realistic model based on one provided reference, which is also a common client request. The student will be tasked with finding their own fire hydrant, photographing it for reference, and of course, recreating it pixel for pixel in 3D.
Utilising all the acquired skills from previous assets, the student will create their chosen personal asset with the help of their mentor.
*Important note: Even though the course outline includes creating one personal asset, if the student works through all planned lessons and exercises at an increased pace, and manages to complete all the appointed assets, they are welcome to start a second personal asset with the assistance of their mentor. The course doesn’t stop when all assets are created; it stops when all designated consultations are utilized.
Once you purchase the whole course, or one of the sections, you will unlock the first lesson of the course, and the first practice session. Once you complete the first lesson, and the first practice session, your work will be scheduled for an online check-in with one of our online tutors. Within the next 24 hours you will get approval, and/or feedback, so you can move on. The response time will usually be prompt, but it could vary depending on your location and time zone, but should never exceed 24 hours reply time.
With the approval, your next lesson, and next practice session will be automatically unlocked, and you will be able to move on onto the next one.
This is how the progress will work throughout the remainder of the course.
•The lessons are pre-recorded, they are not live sessions.
You can watch and re-watch them at your own desired time, and you can proceed at your preferred pace.
•Your designated mentor will follow you throughout the whole course.
They will be there for you, to answer all questions that you may have regarding the lessons, the practice tasks and any feedback you received.
