Don't take our word for it

I Actually left another 3D school to join Think Tank’s Houdini Program—and it has been everything I hoped for. The structure with high-quality pre-recorded lessons and weekly assignments fits my learning style perfectly, and the support from supervisors, mentors, staff, and peers is amazing. Term 1 was definitely intense as I wrapped my head around the basics and procedural workflows. Now in Term 2, things are getting exciting and I’m starting to see just how powerful—and fun —Houdini really is. I'm loving it!”

I’m proud to share the incredible final project by Anton Borisov, a recent graduate from Think Tank Training Centre, whom I had the pleasure of mentoring in his final term. Created entirely in Houdini, Anton’s piece reflects not just a strong technical foundation but also a sharp artistic sensibility. Watching his progress throughout the project was inspiring, and his dedication really paid off in the final result.”

not everyone should do this.

BUT YOU'RE NOT EVERYONE.

I was trying to learn houdini on my own before enrolling in Think Tank’s Houdini program and while that is totally possible, I feel my learning experience has drastically accelerated and become much more focused since joining TTTC. I learned a lot with the pre-recorded content but I believe it is the overall structure, the accountability placed on the student and the access to talented mentors that sets this program apart.”
