Finally we are able to announce another great 8 week workshop real-time environments with unreal engine with instructor Chiyo Lai.

He studied at the Art Institute of Vancouver, and shortly afterwards began his professional career work at Radical Entertainment. Afterwards he made a stop at Electronic Arts, where he worked on multiple titles including Def Jam: Fight for NY and SSX on Tour. Chiyo then moved on to become a environment artist at Propaganda Games, where he helped create the worlds seen in the titles Turok and Tron: Evolution.

Friends,

This is an exciting time for us here at the Rydan Workshop. What started out as an idea between artist friends over a year ago has finally become realized. Our goal was and still is to provide quality teaching with skilled instructors at a reasonable cost accessible to all. We really believe in the value we are providing to the community and sincerely believe that you will too.

Upon launching our school, we’ve set ourselves into motion and have had a wonderful response and support from the community. However, timing and competition have been hindering us from achieving our goals. Drawing on feedback we have received, we have decided to course correct and revise our pricing to reflect what artists are asking for.
All classes have now been reduced to $399 (anyone who has already paid our previous pricing will be refunded the difference).

We are hoping that this will motivate anyone who is sitting on the fence to give us an opportunity. By setting this pricing, we are investing in you so that you will invest in us. We see this as an opportunity to solidify our place among you as a high quality and high value institution.

We look forward to meeting you all and as always welcome your feedback and comments.
Contact us at [email protected]

All the best,

Daniel, Ryan and Dave.
Owners
The Rydan Workshop.

What Rydan offers:

We are provide a unique educational platform where our instructors lecture and perform demos in real-time. Our students have the ability to ask the instructor questions and receive answers immediately. We keep small class sizes, to ensure every student gets the enough time to talk with the teacher directly. This is so that one-on-one interactions between students and teachers can be accommodated during the three-hour class times. There will also be live critiques where students can view suggestions and changes made by instructors on their work, as well as ask questions, in real-time. All our classes are recorded and made available to students in case a live lecture was missed or if our students need to re-watch any of our content.

To deliver the most engaging experience to our students, we are open to student feedback and suggestions throughout the classes. For example, our students can choose their own projects as long as they fit the theme of the courses. If you would like to create a character you have designed, or build one from a concept, the choice is yours.

There will be homework assigned after each lecture, and we encourage students to post their work in progress (WIP) daily on our forum. Our staff of instructors and teaching assistants, as well as fellow students, will be there to give critiques during the week. At the end of each course, there will be final evaluations of the student’s work to accurately assess whether they are ready to break into the professional art industry or they still need that last extra push in a certain area.

Our goal is to give the student the knowledge and ability to produce an outstanding portfolio piece that is ready for prospective clients.
