About Rishi
3D Animation is intimidating to start, especially with software as complex as Maya or Blender staring back at you on day one. My job is to make sure that feeling doesn't last past your first class.
I'm a 3D animator and animation educator with 6+ years of industry experience, having worked on ads, films, TV, and games at studios including Studio Eeksaurus, Technicolor (Mikros Animation), Citrus Ink Studios, and Gallic Entertainment. I hold a Post-Graduate Diploma in Advanced 3D Animation and VFX from Vancouver Film School. I'm currently active as a working animator and director on independent animation projects, most recently directing and working as 3D artist on a music video that has, as of now, won 3 awards and earned 1 official selection at film festivals.
But credentials aside, here's what actually matters for you: I mentor students the way I'd mentor a junior animator on a real production, patiently, without judgment, and always explaining the reasoning behind a note, not just handing you a fix. We look at case studies, reference footage, and the theory behind why professionals make the choices they do, so you walk away understanding animation, not just copying steps. Whether you're a complete beginner nervous about opening the software for the first time, or looking to sharpen specific skills, you get the same care and attention I'd bring to a professional shot.

Cartoony 3D Animation - Maya & Blender Friendly
Every great animated character starts the same way: a ball that bounces, a pendulum that swings, an object that just moves believably. That's where we'll start too, and by the end, you'll be giving characters real personality, timing, and comic punch.
How we get started:
After you reach out, we hop on a short call to schedule your first session. That first session is about getting to know each other, not the syllabus, we talk through what you want out of the course and clear up any animation concepts you're unsure about. The course itself kicks off from session two, shaped around your goals and pace.
BEGINNER — Finding your footing
- Get comfortable in Maya or Blender, whichever you prefer
- Learn the 12 principles of animation the way animators actually use them: through hands-on exercises, with real feedback on your own work
- Bring your first walk and run cycles to life, and see how the same principles that make a bouncing ball convincing also make a character convincing
INTERMEDIATE — Giving your characters a voice
- Push into advanced body mechanics, going beyond the basic cycles
- Start acting through animation, with an introduction to facial animation that gives your characters real expression for the first time
ADVANCED — Making it pop
- Advanced acting and facial performance that actually tells a story
- Cartoony exaggeration: multiples, smears, and stylized timing, the tricks that separate animation that moves from animation that entertains
Software: Maya or Blender, whichever you're comfortable with.
Note: Intermediate and Advanced content is introduced based on your pace and progress rather than a fixed timeline. Overall course duration also depends on individual progress and how frequently classes are scheduled. This course covers 3D animation only, rigging, modeling, or full-pipeline work is a separate conversation with its own scope and rate.
