"I just wanted to write you and your staff
a quick note on how I feel about your course. In one word PHENOMENAL. In two
words absolutely amazing. Before this course, I asked “how do you get
this done in four weeks? Now I understand. I have been involved with adult
education for a long time, and understand the challenges that an intense topic
such as this presents. However, the organization and the objectives presented
where clear and very motivating. I do want to learn more and move into this
type of work. I have wanted to do this type of work for a very long time and
have some very specific personal goals, but to go from nothing to something
in such short time has been (although somewhat frustrating at times) unbelievable.
I would like to thank the instructors for their input and rapid response to
my questions. Great job!" - Armando
"Thanks so much for this lesson Mr. Wilson and overall
for the magnificent services of your organization, after the 4 week program
I find myself 100% convinced that this is the school where I want to get the
knowledge from in order to merger into the 3d industry. Thanks again for all."
- Henry Cantor
"3dti has turned out to be much more than I thought
it would be. I just wanted to learn 3DS Max for architectural rendering but
I learned so much more and there's a real sense of community once you're involved
in it. The possibilities seem endless" -
Rick
"The course provided an exceptionally thorough explanation
of many 3d animation techniques. After trying to learn from various books
and online tutorials, I can say from my experience that nothing competes with
the hands on personal instruction I’ve received through 3DTi. Friendly
and encouraging instructors really inspire the students to go all out with
our projects. I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to pursue
3d art as a career." - David Pollan
"Hi Brian, I just wanted to drop a quick note. The class and the labs
are awesome! The best thing about this class is that it's putting it all together
for me. I’ve had a few years to play with an earlier version of max
(v5) but there are so many things that I’m learning from a "production"
point of view. The types of things that only come from experience!" -
Steve
"I wanted to let you know that I greatly appreciate the
way your instructors are able to judge the skill levels and needs of your
students & then tailor the teaching accordingly. That is a rare talent.
As you can see, I am a bit slow at learning these 3-d skills; however, I am
very determined to learn them to the best of my ability! I feel fortunate
to be a part of the 3DTi team as I slowly leave my flat plane of existence
and emerge into the exciting world of 3-dimension!" -
Diane
"I personally was a little skeptical about the 3Dtraining
courses before I started. After a few minutes of talking with Brian I knew that
this school was going to be great .The 4 week course taught me more than i could
have imagined. Simply put Jamil was a great instructor .Better than most modelers
and professors around. Jamil really made me focus and sit down and step up to
the polygon plate. Awesome setup this school had and i will never want to do
another class, tutorial or anything else. Thanks so much and I look forward
to the Project Bases Course" - Shaun

"What makes a good teacher/trainer?. this is question
that can most likely be answered, in many different ways, some may say that
the prerequisites would be, experience in the field,good handle of the software
,right mind set, organized, multitasker, well rounded knowledge base, troubleshooter,
lateral thinker, calm and collected, etc. In my opinion the above are importent,
but not the most important. If the teacher is honest, trustworthy, and cares
about what they, and the students are working at, I believe these are entirely
the most crucial. i think jamil possesses all of these qualities. So to sum
up, the answer to question at the top, in my opinion is pretty obvious, if
you missed it, look at the previous sentence again"
- Ben Nault
"I just wanted to let you know that I am very impressed
how everything is going with the classes. It is very refreshing, to have an
institute making theirs students training a priority"
- Donna McCue
"Let me start by saying that my experience with 3DTI has
been excellent. I learned more about Autodesk Maya in four months with 3DTI
than I ever would have at a four-year college. I definitely created more projects
within that time than I would have at a conventional program as well. Your
instructors are very informative and enthusiastic and it rubs off on the students.
I have recommended 3DTI to a number of friends and colleagues already"
- Randall DiGiuseppe, East Patchogue, NY
" This course was an invaluable use of my time.
I don't think I could have found a more informative, inspirational, and supportive
course than I did here. In the short amount of time that I had in the class
I learned more information than ever could have on my own. I believe it has
given me a large stride forward in achieving my goal of working in the animation
field." - ALEX ALPHONSO, (background: Freelance

"The course provided me with my first exposure
to 3ds max. Over the period of 12 weeks, the sheer range of different projects
kept me very interested in the field and allowed me to gain a far more rounded
view of the industry. As a result, the reel that I produced at the end of
the course was very dynamic; potential employers have been very impressed
with this showcase of my flexibility and the range of animation techniques
I am familiar with. This reel has now led to the offer of a full-time position
with a company specializing in medical animation -- only a month after finishing
the course! Overall, a most highly-recommended course"
- DR. RAJEEV DOSHI (PhD. in Cancer Research)
"Extremely informative for all of the aspects
of 3D Studio Max. Lots of real world tips, tricks, shortcuts and solutions
from instructors. I really feel confident about my skills in 3D now."
- TOM HICKEY (background: Works as a web-designer in an Internet Company)
"The instructors, were very inspirational,
the projects were challenging and interesting. Overall this was a very enjoyable
and worthwhile class. Furthermore it also helped me meet people in the Industry."
- JEREMY GEDDES (background: entry level Architecture)
"The course taught me a lot about animation
in general along with specifics about 3D animation. The different instructors,
taught me various ways to approach a problem in terms of modeling, lighting
and animation and insights in various production issues" -
ERIC LAURENT (background: Computer Programmer)
"Very interesting, fun and informative. I felt
I gained a practical knowledge of 3D. I knew nothing about 3D animation when
I started, but know I feel I have enough knowledge to give it a try professionally."
- TOMMY ARAI (background: Works in an Advertising

"I now have more confidence & knowledge
in using the program. Learnt a great deal of finer points of the software
and production methods" - PEDRO SANTOS (background:

keep up with the course. I found the problem solving aspect of the course,
most interesting." - KENTARO KEN (background:

"This course was very helpful due to the fact
I am serious about becoming a professional animator, and this course definitely
put me on the right path" - JONATHAN GALL
(background: works as production coordinator for Marvel Comics)
"Invaluable, before the course had no experience
with 3d animation, now I have come so far and feel I have a possible future
with 3D CGI. Every class taught me something new and every Saturday morning
I woke eager like a child to get to class"
- DOUG TOMKINS (background: artist and custom designer for Motor Cross race

"The course showed me how complex this field
can be but more so how fun it can be. It gets you to think about what you
are doing and how you approach thing" -
