Message from Scott, Think Tank Co-founder 💜

08/26/2026

"At 35, I never expected to be at the school of my dreams, doing the work of my dreams." 🎨

Meet Christian. A first-time college student who was nervous about staying motivated online, and even more nervous about switching programs partway through, from Houdini to CG Asset Creation.

Here's how that switch went: Think Tank made it "the easiest thing." One meeting, a plan, done within a week.

The rest? He can't say enough about it. An online portal he calls fantastic. Instructors who show up outside work hours, plus weekly TA and global mentoring sessions. And tuition he jokes is almost "underpriced for how much they offer," with payment plans built for students who need them.

His advice for anyone sitting on the fence about film or games? Just do it.

If you've been telling yourself it's too late, or that you picked the wrong path, let this be your sign. 🔄

Comment CHRISTIAN and we'll send you the full video interview 💜

From self-taught to Epic Games. 🎮

Balazs Domjan is a Think Tank grad who now builds environments for Fortnite and Diablo IV. On September 4, he's going live to break down exactly how he got from where you might be right now to a AAA studio.

He'll share real visual breakdowns of his work plus an honest look at the industry:
✦ How Think Tank prepped him for AAA production
✦ Life inside giants like Epic and Blizzard vs. small teams
✦ Why solid 3D fundamentals matter more than ever as AI tools grow
✦ Open Q&A, ask him anything

If you've ever wondered whether online training can really get you there, here's your answer, live from someone who did it. 🎬

You've read the reviews. Watched the reels. And you're still asking yourself the real question: is it actually worth it? 🎬

We could tell you. But it lands better from the people who are actually in it. So we asked our students what they love about Think Tank. No script, no prompts.

If you've been circling enrollment for a while, this is the honest look you've been waiting for.

Talk to our head of admissions, John, and we can discuss what's best suited for you. (We dont do sales call, we're here to make friends!) 👋🏽 Link in bio, or go to tttc.ca ✨

Picture this: you're studying 3D at Think Tank, and between classes you've got an hour to kill. Good news, the campus sits right on the North Vancouver waterfront. 🌊

Here are 10 things our students actually do on a break before heading back to the lab 👇

Because studying here isn't just screens and render times. It's mountains out the window, the ocean a block away, and a whole cohort of people who get it.

Which one would you do first? Drop the number below 👇

"I almost quit my 3D art program."

Alex said it plain. No drama, no build up.

Before he ever enrolled, he spent two weeks comparing the top 20 schools. Think Tank won on quality for the price. That part was easy math.

The hard part came later, when things got tight and quitting started to feel like the only option left.

So the school stepped in. They heard him out, helped him with the financial side, and he kept going.

His words: "not every school does that, to be honest."

And what he keeps coming back to is not the money. It is that they chose to believe in him on his worst week.

His mentor Alexander Danilovac still sends him tips. Alex already graduated. He still checks in. 🥺

Comment ALEX and we'll send you the link to the full interview.
