pixeltrain’s Academy

You are looking for an online class for your Blender Learning Path with a structured curriculum and in the same time you need it to be flexible and want it to have a self-paced learning environment? With our modul classes system you build your own learning path tailored to your needs but you will never get lost in it, since Helge Maus will always be on your side! Our idea is the following:

Helge Maus presents all of his online-classes LIVE! If you take part, you can work along actively and are also invited to ask your questions. You get to know your comrades and share your thoughts and experience. We will always record these sessions, which you can then download and keep forever!

pixeltrain’s Academy is characterized by small learning groups, well-structured units with keeping space to meet the needs of each individual. All sessions are held live by Senior 3D & VFX trainer Helge Maus. Professional and Personal – these are the keys of pixeltrain’s Academy!
