Real Stories from Our Students

Zora Novak, 3D Lighting Artist

Zora Novak

Junior Lighting Artist at Crescent Games

"I was struggling with basic lighting concepts and making everything look flat. The program showed me how light actually behaves in 3D space. Now I'm working on mobile games that thousands of people play daily. The breakthrough moment came during week 8 when I finally understood indirect lighting."
