General Questions

Do I need prior experience to start learning 3D modeling?

+

No prior experience is necessary for our Foundation Course. We start with the absolute basics and gradually build up your skills. If you can use a computer and have a passion for creativity, you have everything you need to begin your 3D modeling journey with onegiftshop.

What software will I need for the courses?

+

Our primary courses focus on Blender, which is completely free and open-source. Advanced courses may cover industry-standard tools like Maya, ZBrush, and Substance Painter. We provide guidance on obtaining educational licenses or trial versions for paid software. All software recommendations are included in your course materials.

How long do I have access to course materials?

+

You receive lifetime access to all enrolled courses. This includes any future updates, additional materials, or improvements we make to the course content. Learn at your own pace and revisit lessons whenever you need a refresher.

Can I get a refund if I am not satisfied?

+

Yes, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with your course within the first 30 days of purchase, contact our support team for a full refund. We want you to be confident in your learning investment.

Technical Requirements

What computer specifications do I need?

+

For basic courses, a modern computer with 8GB RAM, a dedicated graphics card, and a multi-core processor will work well. Advanced courses benefit from 16GB RAM or more and a more powerful GPU. We provide detailed system requirements for each course, and our instructors teach optimization techniques to maximize performance on various hardware configurations.

Will the courses work on both Mac and PC?

+

Absolutely. Blender and most 3D software we teach run on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Our instruction covers any platform-specific differences, and our community includes users on all operating systems who can share tips and solutions.

Do I need a drawing tablet for 3D modeling?

+

A mouse and keyboard are sufficient for most 3D modeling work. However, a drawing tablet can be beneficial for sculpting and certain texturing tasks. We discuss when tablets are advantageous and recommend affordable options for students who want to invest in one.

Course Structure and Learning

How long does it take to complete a course?

+

Course completion time varies based on your schedule and pace. Foundation courses typically take 12 weeks if you dedicate 5-10 hours per week. However, since you have lifetime access, you can take as long as you need. Many students complete courses faster by studying intensively, while others take longer to thoroughly master each concept.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion?

+

Yes, you receive a certificate of completion for each course you finish. Our certificates can be shared on professional networks like LinkedIn and included in your portfolio. They demonstrate your commitment to professional development and mastery of specific 3D modeling skills.

Can I interact directly with instructors?

+

Yes, through multiple channels. Professional and Master Class students receive one-on-one mentorship sessions. All students can participate in weekly live workshops, ask questions in course discussion forums, and get feedback on assignments. Our instructors are committed to your success.

What if I fall behind schedule?

+

There is no falling behind with lifetime access. Life happens, and we understand that. Our self-paced structure means you can pause and resume your learning whenever necessary. The community and support team are always available to help you get back on track when you are ready.

Career and Professional Development

Will these courses help me get a job in 3D modeling?

+

Our courses are designed to teach production-ready skills used in the industry. Many students have successfully transitioned to 3D careers after completing our programs. We provide portfolio guidance, industry insights, and Master Class students receive job placement assistance. However, landing a job also depends on your dedication, practice, and local job market conditions.

Can I start freelancing after taking your courses?

+

Absolutely. Many of our students build successful freelance careers. We cover business aspects like pricing your work, finding clients, and managing projects. The portfolio projects you complete during courses provide excellent examples to show potential clients.

Do you offer career guidance and networking opportunities?

+

Yes, particularly in our advanced courses. We host guest lectures from industry professionals, provide resume and portfolio reviews, and maintain an active community where students network and share opportunities. Our instructors share their industry connections and insights throughout the courses.
