THE USUAL

What usually happens

  • Someone talks for 90 minutes. You just watch.
  • YouTube tutorials you pause and never finish.
  • Stuck on one Maya button with nobody to ask.
  • "Kal se pakka shuru karunga." It never happens.
VS!
HEPHY WAY

The build · 5 steps, one Saturday

From grey box
to night render.

Scroll through each step. This is the exact order you'll work in.

Step 01 · Maya

Block it out.

01
The island roughed out with grey boxes and cylinders on a Maya gridBLOCK!

Every world starts as boxes and cylinders. In Maya you'll block out the whole island with simple shapes first.

48primitives placed
Step 02 · Maya

Model the details.

The island fully modelled in grey clay Clock towerStairsRope bridgeDockCHISEL!

Then we add the details: the clock tower, stairs, rope bridge and dock, one prop at a time.

Step 03 · Modular thinking

Built from pieces.

Exploded view of the island: tower, stalls, bridge, dock and airship floating apart TowerObservatoryStallsBridgeDockAirshipSNAP!

Pro secret!Big scenes are just small reusable pieces. Build a crate once, use it twenty times.

Step 04 · Photoshop + AI

Paint it alive.

Now colour! We paint wood, stone and roof tiles in Photoshop, and use AI tools for ideas.

Step 05 · KeyShot

Lights. Render.

Night render of the island with glowing lanterns, crystals and poolFLASH!

Lights on! KeyShot turns your model into a render you can post in your portfolio.

Student voices

Saturday night,
first world built.

What students said after their first Saturday session.

I thought 3D modelling would be way too complicated for me. The workshop broke everything into simple steps, and I actually finished my first model during the session.
Rohan S.Design student · Chennai
★★★★★
The live guidance made a huge difference. Whenever I got stuck, I could ask immediately instead of spending an hour searching for a tutorial.
Priya M.Architecture student · Bengaluru
★★★★★
I loved how practical the workshop was. We weren't just watching someone model—we were actually building along and understanding why each step mattered.
Arjun N.Engineering student · Hyderabad
★★★★★
The AI + 3D workflow was my favourite part. Getting references, blocking the model and then refining it felt much faster than my usual process.
Nisha R.Visual design student · Mumbai
★★★★★
I joined without knowing anything about 3D. By the end, I had a complete scene that I could actually show someone. That gave me the confidence to learn more.

FAQ.

Do I need any experience?

No. We start from an empty scene and build everything step by step.

What computer do I need?

How do I get the software?

Maya, Photoshop, Illustrator and KeyShot all offer free trials, and Autodesk offers free education licences to eligible students. Install Maya before Saturday so you're ready to go.

Is it recorded?

No. It's a live session, so join live and ask your questions in the Q&A.

You'll land on a confirmation page, and your joining details arrive by email within a few minutes. Check spam or promotions if you don't see it.

Where is it held?

Online and live, every Saturday from 7:00 to 9:30 PM IST.

Your first 3D world is
