2G Academy

When I was a beginner I often missed out on the details and always tried to find the best photorealistic tutorial and chances are you won’t get it.  We need to ask the correct question or not you’re going to get the wrong answers. What we should try to do is to get used to professional habits.

These are all tips for the next 10 years of your career in ArchViz and I wish you the best of luck!!

When a new 3d artist joined my academy or my Facebook group they always ask me the same question as I did back then in 2008, “Sir how to create a Photorealistic rendering” then “Sir can I have your render settings, sir?” or “ what are your computer specs, sir?”. These questions are fine but do not expect people will reply to you. Trust me people will ignore this, and at the time I joined the biggest Indonesia Arch Viz forum, all I got were only 3 answers. 

Check this episode to figure it out.

In this industry, you can’t be lazy or be impatient as I used to be especially shortcuts aren’t welcomed. Details and attention are important to ensure your quality, while time is important for your rendering. And in this episode, I want to show you 3 things that you need to learn first in interior rendering.

In my early career, most of my projects are from CG Architect. CG Architect is a platform where we artists can meet with our potential customers, this was the only way I knew at that time to get a job. This led me to keep joining the visualization pro of the week.

And from there, I learn a lot while building my journey to become Professional 3D Artist. 

And here are three lesson you should learn as a new 3d artist.

This is my story about a book that totally change my business mindset,  i feel blessed to find this book. 

His super unique mindset finally change mine too, especially when it's comes to investment, and how parents tells their kids about investment.

 Hope you could find something too from here, Keep Learning!  

I wish you guys the best of luck in the future.

Are your clients always asking you to lower the price or your having problems raising the price of your hard work?  

This made me really frustrated. Not about losing the client, but it’s how they kept undervaluing us, and if I let them do this it would create a cycle of being underpaid.  

Which led me to think that I’m not going to survive in this industry or that I had set my expectation too high for this industry, but i am not went that far and turns out, i can get over it.  

And this is my story, hope you can take something from my experience.

Once upon a time, i met a software when i was in a darkest era of my life. 

Yes, it's SketchUp, this software introduce me to a different side of the world, which is Architectural Visualization.  

At this period I fell in love with the industry. I learned how to render deeper and tried more visualization.  

which software is your first starting gate? tell me on the comment below. wish you guys the best of luck in the future.

I founded an academy named 2G academy at the end of 2013. 

I put a tagline “Helping others” this became the source of my “why” and I really love helping people who will generate results. 

However, when I hit my goals in this industry, I lost interest in it. 

After a year I read this book so that I could fully understand why I was in this industry again.  

I got back and started to revive my academy to help others about visualization.  

I wish you guys the best of luck in the future.
