Hello! I was previously running these online courses through the Canadian school VFS’ Short Circuit but have decided to focus on self-hosting my content more (in so many ways, I’ve been learning so much back-end these days, it’s hard work to the surprise of no one) so now you can register for them through my website:

https://erikamoya.com/intro-to-vfx-classes/
They’re both aimed for beginners, live classes where we do work together, you can ask questions and get feedback in-between classes as well, limited to 7 students per group to assure no one gets left behind.
The courses are aimed at teaching the technical knowledge of using the software plus good practices so you have all the tools needed to work by yourself and improve your craft through practice and feedback.
With Blender I teach the whole generalist pipeline so students can get an understanding of areas that maybe they didn’t have any idea on what they meant or they would like before starting (like rigging for example), also helpful for those that are looking to switch from Maya to Blender.
I invite you to look at the pages I’ve written to see more about what each covers.
Humble bragging but previous students have told me they really enjoyed the classes ;p
I’ll still be working with VFS occasionally teaching other topics, like maybe perhaps an introduction to freelancing course in a few months.
There aren’t that many posts here. If there were, I might be more forgiving of people posting ads. But there are none.
If it shouldn’t be considered a desperate act to sell your classes rather than engage us, why do it? You say you’re not hurting for work. You say you have to turn work away. You accuse me of not reading anything you write yet I have read every word.
I ask again: why immediately sell out your one opportunity on this platform to spread ads? Why not gain people’s trust first before switching into a cynical paywalled lesson?
idk you seem more desperate than me following these made up rules that aren’t part of either community tbh
This is not my “one opportunity” on this platform, you joined one month ago and I’ve been here for more than a year, also have a hundred more “reputation points”, comments, and posts than you. So I’m not sure where you’re getting my “lack of engagement” from. I ask again, maybe reconsider what’s actually got you in such a mood and stop policing me? Maybe you read what I said but it does no good if there’s no reading comprehension.
Also lmao at “cynical paywalled lesson”, if you go to my website you’ll see I also have plenty of free educational content that goes back years. My blender course was actually started from a blog post I made in 2021, here sugar-cup, made it easy for ya to find.
