STUDENT REVIEWS:

“I learned a lot from 3DTi, including developing new skill sets, acquiring an in-depth knowledge of the industry and how to present myself and network. I also became aware of the level of work you needed to get hired. With 3DTi’s support and advice I was able to take my career to the next level and get to where I am today” - Kern Derrabie

"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 Keenan

"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 Comic Colorist)

" 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)
