Stefan van de Vyver
Blender 3D work has been my main stream of income for the past nine years. I have trained in excess of 10 learners in my small studio over the past seven years. At our small studio we use mainly Open Source software, although we own commercial licenses from all of the major software publishers, including 3DS Max (Commercial license), Pro Tools, Cubase, Reaper (licensed), Sony Vegas Pro, FL Studio, Opus Pro and others. All our 3D work is done in Blender.
We build commercial products ranging from short logo animations, to corporate video work, and a lot of 3D game models and virtual world content. Many of our models have gone into producing educational content for various companies. Apart from 3D animation we also provide programming services for educational content.
A structured overview of our work can be seen here (It is impossible to show all the work over nine ears. This merely serves as an introduction to our work.):
My newest venture/product is the starting up of ''The Smallest Animation School in Town''. This training initiative will focus on introducing prospective 3D animation students, producers and other creatives to the animation production pipeline.
My sincere gratitude and passionate support goes to all who are involved in the development of Blender 3D.
The course on offer is built on this experience of the animation production pipeline. We offer hard-learned experience that will save you money (and time) as you prepare yourself for a career in 3D animation.
If you are just starting out with 3D animation you will be well advised to first study your options. Training is expensive. The conventional idea of finding a "job" in animation doesn't really work in south Africa, so what are your plans after having finished such very expensive studies? Once again, building on our experience we can offer you some guidance on possible career paths within the 3D industry.
