Resources

Articles, guides, reference material, and software for independent study.

We share many learning materials and videos at no charge. Our private lessons are paid, and most public seminars have an entry fee. Course materials are free. Students can also request additional content created just for them, such as customized learning materials, for an additional charge. Feel free to discuss your requests with Joe. He’ll work with you to see how best he can accommodate them.

Articles

• Learning Learning

  How to get the most out of any class, and how to teach yourself: lectures, notes, questions, peers, research, experimenting, and problem solving.

Software

• Recommended software

  The tools we recommend for 3D, art, games, and video — Godot Engine, Blender, Krita, Inkscape, EzWings and Wings 3D, and Kdenlive — free and non-free side by side, with the truly Free Software marked, and a direct link to download each one. Plus operating systems, Linux especially.

AI

• AI, used right

  AI or No AI? That's up to you. How AI actually works, how to direct it without losing your own thinking, and how to learn it with us.

• No AI for art. AI for everything else.

  Notes, research, scheduling, scripts, and the grunt work — UVs, retopology, levels of detail — so there's more time for the art.

Reference

• The AI Lexicon

  The vocabulary of building software with AI agents: hundreds of terms, with definitions, real examples, and prior art.
