Do you want to know how to turn your 3D modeling or animating skills into an actual business that will get you out of your day job?
Your ability to create wonderful things in 3D isn’t just a talent you possess- it is a powerful way to make money and build a profitable business.
My name is Sam Lytle and after creating a unique smartphone app concept called the OggBoard that gained the attention of CNET, Kotaku and Engadget, I built a strong 3D modeling and animating team that successfully developed the hardware and software proof of concept for this idea.
Unfortunately, at this time, I didn’t understand vital business concept such as building a brand or developing a platform and OggStudios never left the launch pad.
I have now used the lessons learned from the OggBoard along with my education and experience in civil engineering to build another 3D visualization studio, this time focusing on the transportation and construction industry.
Civil FX now has seven employees in less than 3 years of growth!
In Running a 3D Modeling/ Animation Business I break down the mistakes that 3D artists typically make when stepping into freelancing and how to break free from competing in online freelance marketplaces and move towards finding the best clients with the biggest jobs for ultimate profitability.
I also show how to find out where you want to take your business and how to use your Unfair Advantage and a written business plan to reach this ultimate destination.
I worked for public and private companies for many years before finally having enough private clients to leave my job to pursue Civil FX full time.
Learning how to monetize my 3D modeling and animating skills has changed my life and I am confident that it will change yours as well.
Get ready to completely change the way you think about making money with your talent as a 3D artist!
If you aren’t completely satisfied with this course you can get your money back – with no questions asked – for 30 days!!
Who this course is for:
- This course is for 3D artists or 3D designers who want to monetize their talent.
