About Dhruv

Hi, I'm Dhruv (you can call me D!) Nice to meet ya!

I can help you with:
- Maya assignments and university coursework
- Learning Maya from scratch
- Character modeling and rigging
Animation principles
- Environment and prop modeling
- UVs and texturing
- Lighting and rendering
- Portfolio reviews
- Preparing for game art careers

I have over a decade of professional and university teaching experience in 3D art mainly in Autodesk Maya, with experience both in the entertainment industry and in the classrooms across universities. I’ve taught a range of disciplines like 3D Modeling and Animation, Game Level Design, UI and UX design, Image Manipulation, Video Editing, Motion Graphics, etc. to students who have gone on to work in prestigious institutions like Amazon, Gameloft, KPMG, etc. Whether you're trying to pass a university course, build a professional portfolio, or simply learn Maya as a hobby, lessons are tailored to your goals and pace!

I’ve worked with several studios over the years, so I have a solid understanding of how real production pipelines function. However, for the past 4+ years, I’ve been focused on teaching at the university level, helping future artists and designers like yourself build strong foundations and practical, job-ready skills! I’ve helped set up and grow creative departments at a few institutions, turning them into hands-on, skills-focused programs with exciting learning opportunities. I’m passionate about making complex topics approachable and helping students gain both confidence and competency that translates into real technical prowess!

About the lesson

My teaching pedagogy is based on imparting innate understanding of why things work the way they do. With me, you can expect to learn the ins and outs of Maya so you can work your way around 3D projects of all stripes. I have taught hundreds of students from all backgrounds with varying different skill levels, and I make it a point to tailor lesson plans depending on their requirements. Whether you're just starting out with absolutely no knowledge of 3D or you're already familiar with Maya but feel stuck with a particular issue that needs troubleshooting - I will guide you to your desired outcome. My teaching style primarily focuses on relatable examples, practical demonstrations, equivalent analogies, hands-on experimentation and a scientific temperament with a thorough focus on the technical whys and hows so you can understand the modus operandi and the functioning principles behind each process and technique which would help equip you for any challenges you might face.

In our University, Dhruv sir was known as the "Master Explainer". He's not just a great teacher, he's amazing to just spend time with. His proficiency with softwares coupled with his endless patience and a willingness to ensure that his students have imbibed every technique beneficial to them makes him the most unique academician I have ever seen in my life. Thanks to his guidance and hard work, I have my own production studio and I am able to get technically involved in the projects we undertake.
