Where It All Started

Magic Pixel Academy was born from years of passion — drawing, storytelling, building creatures, and exploring what’s possible with imagination and the right tools.

I started as a freelance VFX artist, juggling projects, deadlines, and pipelines while quietly dreaming of something more. Over time, I realized I wasn’t just passionate about creating — I loved teaching, too. Especially helping other artists who were stuck trying to learn complex tools like Houdini, Nuke, or motion capture setups with no big studio budget.

What started as a one-man experiment turned into a powerful idea: Make pro-level tools and workflows accessible to everyone.
