Our students' feedback
There's not a lot of likeness courses out there that go through this program and aims at Marmoset/real time rendering!
The structure, the platform is a-mazing! Having Discord and the Squads, the Q&A system of feedback was the best part!

The amount of knowledge and growth I experienced in my skill set has been exponential. Lots of learning material and detailed explanations. I literally went from zero to hero during the course.

If I could finish with a nice result I think that everyone can. And that's because of the course, which explains perfectly every passage so that fits every kind of level.
The feedbacks from the instructors motivated me to do better and better.

Are there any payment plans?
In addition to a 3-month payment plan above you can get a 12-month payment plan option on request. Get in touch with us by email (contact@artheroes.co) or via Facebook Messenger to get it.
What are program pre-requisites?
The program is beginner-friendly because we all start with a sphere. You need to know ZBrush fundamentals to be successful, but we don't have any further requirements.
What kind of likeness I will be working on?
You can pick any human face, better if it's a recognizable celebrity. No limitations here.
What are the tools that I need?
ZBrush is the main tool. We use Marmoset and marvelous designer for presentation and a couple of other plugins that you will get access to as a student.
Can I get a program with no mentorship?
Not at the moment. We've seen with our students that it takes instructors' support to make sure you follow through and achieve best results. We are committed to ensuring our students deliver high quality projects, and we want you to get the most out of our program.
Is there a certificate at the end of the program?
Yes, you are eligible for a certificate upon course completion and submission of your final project.
What if I can't continue the program (get sick, have family reasons etc)?
We're very understanding and flexible, especially in these times. You will have a chance to restart with a new intake, when we have one, or complete the program at your own pace.
