| | Josh Wallace | Before I joined the Character Artist Bootcamp in April 2018, I could barley finish projects and felt that I was getting nowhere in 3d.
But when I signed up for the bootcamp at GAI it all changed. I had two amazing mentors, Ryan Kingslien and Marcin Klicki, who gave me the push that I needed! I had three months of intensive training, first creating a game ready prop and then a full game ready character. I learned the entire process step by step following an amazing collection of videos, recorded by industry professionals specifically for GAI students, as well as biweekly live meetings with my mentors. On top of it all there is an amazing community and live interviews with industry professionals. Sometimes we would even get portfolio reviews from the interviewee's.
Finally I felt that for the first time I was actually getting somewhere as a 3d artist. Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish my character in time, but even after the bootcamp was over, I still received guidance from my mentors and I was able to finish my first full character!
The one thing that sets GAI apart from a traditional uni or college is that you still have access, to all the videos, community, and interviews, after you've completed the bootcamp. There's even a weekly live critique session with Ryan.
So if you're a passionate 3d artist and feel lost, then GAI is the perfect place to learn from the best and find your feet as a 3d artist... |
