Having participated in two units with Archit, I can confidently say that I have never felt as satisfied and accomplished in any other educational setting. Archit's approach to introducing students to new software, initially daunting, instills confidence from the very first week.

His innovative techniques and creative flair serve as a constant source of inspiration, encouraging students to design and experiment with new found enthusiasm. Prior to encountering Archit's classes, I never envisioned myself exploring 3D units; now, I wholeheartedly recommend his instruction to all.

Archit's structured course curriculum facilitates seamless learning, with live demonstrations and immediate doubt resolution standing out as invaluable assets. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity for further classes or projects under his guidance in the near future.

Unit : 3D World and 3D Illustration

It is evident that Archit has mastered the first two to three weeks of teaching Blender through his years of experience.

My class which had mostly first-time blender users got comfortable with the software quickly and seamlessly. He carries a silly demeanor in class which makes him all the more approachable.

The pace of teaching of his class worked wonders for me as I could grasp the concept and it kept me mentally energetic enough to go home and build more on what he had taught for the next class.

The class gave a comprehensive and basic exploration of all the major 3D specializations in just 4 weeks.

It has given me confidence with the software and the excitement to continue learning blender by myself which will be a powerful asset to use in my upcoming classes.

Blender bootcamp

Never really had a more relaxed, friendly, and flexible teacher while still getting the absolute maximum output out of his students.

Archit’s productivity and creativity inspires me to boost my own, while keeping in mind his main emphasis on enjoying the process.

His herculean knowledge on the design field and versatile art style might be mind-baffling, but is also a trail for us students to follow and learn.

Unit: 3d Illustration

The best thing about Archit’s classes is that he always starts ground up. No class begins without a clear plan, that tells us what exactly we’ll be learning and how. I really appreciate the time and effort he puts into finding resources for us, and that he’s always willing to help when we’re struggling. I especially enjoyed seeing Archit show us his own art, or give us live demos, because it’s not only inspiring but also informative about the process behind each piece, be it 2D or 3D. I learnt a lot from Archit’s class, and I appreciate how he made even maya seem fun. ✨

Unit: 3D Modelling & Texturing

Archit mentored me during my Masters final project and during that I learnt a lot about designing characters for games as he introduced me to a whole new perspective of how characters and world building go hand in hand and help in making crucial creative decisions. Along with his useful insights, his anatomy knowledge and eye for detail helped me develop a lot of productive creation habits that helps my professional practice till day. He makes you think beyond just making characters but a whole lot of story telling that is well structured and meaningful.

Unit: Character Design and modelling

In each of Archit's classes, I was given a chance to voice myself as an artist while having fun creating wonderful little worlds and characters. This freedom of imagination is what fueled me to take an interest in 3D modelling! Archit's style of teaching always made me want to push myself and experiment till I reached something I was happy with. 😄

Units: Character Design, 3D Model-texture-light, Pre-thesis project.

Archit’s class were structured very interestingly. The activities given would be a very easy to understand and perfect way to get savvy with blender. Following the tutorials he shows in class as well as mapping out all possibilities of certain actions while 3d modelling, made me very confident in using blender, something I could never understand even after watching all the YouTube videos available.

Plus, he makes sure all the work is done within class hours which is great :)

Unit: 3d Worlds

I absolutely loved and enjoyed the class! I’m not someone who sits and draws everyday or even practices drawing everyday but your class has made me start doing it and I love it! Your inputs in my work and everything you taught in class really helped me out and helped me understand where I could grow more as an artist. Thank you for teaching me in that class, you’re by far one of my favourite DMA Faculties.

Unit: Character Design

Archit is one of the best teachers I have ever had! His step by step approach to teaching us Blender was exactly what we needed as students who were completely new to this medium. He gave us a lot of tips and tricks that made our learning process easier. In just one day of our 3D worlds class, we learnt how to model simple structures. Archit's way of teaching puts most other faculty to shame!

Bonus points: he is extremely cool and fun to talk to.

Unit: 3D Worlds

I was with Archit for a two week workshop, and it was my second time using Blender ever. While I had the basics down, something about the environment in his class made it feel like a comfortable space and very welcoming place to be in. More than just learning about how to work towards the main topic of the class, I enjoyed the smaller things that made it feel more like a friendly mentor was teaching rather than a strict professor. Even after the workshop I still feel like can reach out anytime if I ever need guidance or help, and definitely was one of my most memorable studios in Year 3.

Unit: Character Modelling Workshop

Couldn’t have learnt more than what I did in just two weeks about character modelling! It was my first time using Blender but with your patience and knowledge daunting became fun! Thank you :)

Unit: Character Modelling Workshop

I Have had Archit as a faculty in a 3D Character Modelling workshop, and It was a real fun process working with him and learning from him. The resources that he shared with us during class and the learning environment he created was truly unprecedented, surely one of the best, and most productive classes I've had in the past 3 Years.

Unit: Character Modelling workshop

Blender used to be extremely intimidating but through class with Archit, I got to the point where I'm actually comfortable using it and enjoy it too! He taught at a great pace and was always ready to explain the complex parts as many times as we needed to grasp it. I learnt a great deal in the few weeks of class and got a great outcome, hands down one of the best teachers and classes I've had.

Unit: Interim | Metamorphosis

As a student of Archit's, I can confidently say that he is an exceptional educator who truly cares about his students' success. His patient and nurturing approach created a learning environment where I felt supported and empowered to step out of my comfort zone and strive for greatness. Archit never pressured or overworked me, but instead encouraged me to unlock my hidden talents and reach for new heights. With his guidance and support, I gained valuable skills and knowledge that extend far beyond the classroom. I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from such an inspiring and dedicated teacher.

Unit: Interim | Metamorphosis

3D worlds was a great experience for me and an encouraging start for learning 3D modelling and animation. Blender always intimidated me but as we were taught at a great pace and with lots of opportunities to navigate and get to know the software ourselves, It soon became one of my favourites mediums of art. I was encouraged to try more new things after and a great point is the open helping hand even after class as I keep asking Archit questions even when my unit was done! Overall I had a great time in class and really appreciated the way it was taught. Love blender and can’t wait to discover more of its elements!

Unit: 3D worlds

The way archit helped us improve our character designing skills within just 8 classes is insane. He taught us how to think of innovative forms and structures by making us do 1 hour activities and exercises. My sketching skills greatly improved and the way I approach character designing also changed a lot due to Archit's teachings. He also encouraged me to form a habit of sketching and observing everyday. Although he has still not watched Avatar the way of the water, all of Archit's teachings are instrumental in my character designing process.

Unit: Character Design

Hands down, the most valuable classes I have ever attended, Every session was filled with goldmines. I still have some screen recordings from some classes that I refer some juniors when they ask certain doubts.

Units: 3D model-texture-light and Sem7

Archit’s class was meticulously and thoughtfully structured. The great thing about that was the structure and timeline being shared with us right at the beginning. That helped with identifying a clear goal and assured us that if we checked through each of the tiny goals lined up for us, we’d end up with a finished project at the end of class.

But the best thing about Archit’s class is that it allows each student to bring their own creativity to their project and customise the brief to their liking right from the get go. (pt1)

.. So while walking through the ideation process and learning the software, we’re coming up with plans and moving vertices of little objects within each of our own creative worlds. I think that also made the learning process more fun for me.

Archit is a great teacher and breaks down the software into digestible bits. We were also sent helpful resources throughout class and even after.

Archit also focuses on methodical documentation at each submission through the unit. And if done right with all of his specifications, you’ll end up with a well documented project that can go straight into your portfolio! (pt2)

Unit: 3D Modelling & Texturing

I've had 2 classes with Archit and both were very informative in terms of how things are done in the industry. I did and learnt a lot in 2 weeks. He's always been throughtful and given tips throughout the year even when I wasn't in his class.

From the day I took my first class in 3D modeling, Archit Vaze has been a wonderful and empathetic tutor. His incredible skill in personalising constructive criticism and resources appropriately has made the steep learning curve of digital media art scalable. He has been an important part if my journey to improve myself and will continue to be so.
