BONUS

MAXON ONE EDU DISCOUNT

($198/mo Value)

Unique to this bundle is the qualification for the Maxon ONE Educational suite of software for at least 6 months.

Typically students have to attend a large University or trade school to qualify, but Maxon has graciously allowed the 3D Character Workshop Bundle to qualify. I'm not sure how long this offer will last. Get it while you can. The value of this qualification alone is more than the cost of the workshop.

The Maxon ONE EDU suite comes with:

  • ZBrush
  • RedShift
  • Cinema 4D
  • Red Giant
  • Universe
  • Forger

IMPORTANT NOTE: Purchasing the 3D Character Workshop Bundle will grant you student status and QUALIFY you as a student to purchase the Maxon ONE EDU package at $10 for 6 months (at the time of this writing). The EDU package can not be used for commercial purposes and is only intended for education. You will NOT automatically get the Maxon ONE EDU version sent to you. After you purchase the workshop bundle my team will manually send your email to Maxon. After which, they will send you an email. 3DCW Bundle Refunds will un-qualify you as a student.

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hey! I'm Shane. I knew from a young age that I had artistic talent but it wasn’t until college that I decided to devote myself to digital art and turn my passion into my life’s work.

After working for Disney for 10 years, I have been lucky enough to teach workshops at big studios that I only dreamed of working for. I am truly grateful for these opportunities but I feel the best part is being able to share that same knowledge with people like you.

I believe my characters not only make the world a better place but they also shape the people who experience them in beautiful ways. Through online education, I can help you make your own impact on the world around you.

Whether you’ve never picked up a stylus before or you are just looking to learn a new technique, I look forward to taking this creative journey together.

Here are some of the clients I've done workshops for.

Here are some wonderful examples of student work.
