"Choosing Think Tank Online was the best decision I've made in my time in academia. I left another CG school to attend Think Tank, and am very content in knowing I did. At Think Tank, I had unparalleled access to the latest content, tools and dedicated mentors."

— Andrea Savchenko

"I started at Think Tank without any knowledge of 3D Art. Now I know the important pipelines and workflows, and am learning new techniques all the time. I’m thankful for all the staff, mentors and colleagues that make up this amazing community."

What to expect

These programs are for artists new to CG who seek a comprehensive education with a focus on Houdini. Students must be ready to dedicate at least 40-60 hours a week to their studies. Be prepared to give your program everything you got. This won’t be easy, but in the end it’s worth it.

Working with an industry mentor, you’ll create a portfolio that is catered toward a particular career, and often, a specific studio.

As a true benchmark in 3D and VFX software, your ability to comprehend and integrate Houdini into a pipeline for Film or Games immediately elevates not only your work, but your value to a project.
