What does real growth look like for a 3D artist?

First email from Plemya School

Hey — it’s Ross from Plemya School.

If you’re reading this, you’re already different from most creatives.

You’re not just here to play around with cool renders.

You’re here to build something — with your skills, your name, your vision.

This is the first official letter from Plemya School.

Every Saturday morning, I’ll drop one email like this into your inbox.

No spam. No generic "Top 10 3ds Max tricks."

Just real insights from the trenches — things I wish I knew earlier.

Because when I was starting out?

Nobody told me how lonely, overwhelming, or confusing this path could be.

Everyone talks about technique.
Few talk about money.
Fewer talk about burnout.

Almost no one talks about what real growth looks like in this world.

So here’s what to expect in these weekly letters:

  • Practical tips on 3ds Max, Corona Render, and new AI tools that actually speed up your workflow
  • Mindset shifts that’ll help you go from struggling freelancer to confident creator
  • Stories from my own path — including the failures, doubts, and wins that shaped Plemya Render
  • Hard truths about what it takes to stand out in a noisy world
  • And sometimes... a push. Because you might not need more tutorials — you might need a mirror.

Think of this as your new weekly ritual:
coffee + a letter from a guy who’s been where you are, and is still climbing.

And don’t worry — I still geek out on render settings too.
But this? This is deeper than just “how to make a realistic marble shader.”
This is about helping you create work — and a
life — you’re proud of.

Next week, I’ll tell you how I got my first 3D client for $1K…
...and how that snowballed into a studio that now works with Europe and Dubai.

Until then — breathe, create, and stay sharp.

Talk soon,
Ross
Founder of Plemya School

If I Were Starting 3D in 2025 3 Things I’d Do Differently 31 October 2025 Ross Plemya Creator When I think back to my early days in 3D, I smile - mostly because I had no idea what I was doing.I was jumping between SketchUp, Blender, Revit, and a dozen random YouTube tutorials, thinking I was “learning 3D.”In reality, I was just running in circles. If I could start again in 2025, with everything I know now, I’d do just three things differently. And if you’re just starting out - these three...

I’m back With fresh energy and something special for you 29 Oct 2025 Ross Plemya Creator Hey, it’s Ross. It’s been a while since my last message.I took a little break - not from 3D, but to go deeper into it.Over the past months, I’ve been fully focused on creating a new structure and type of my course and building content that I truly believe will help you grow as a 3D artist. Now I’m back - with new energy, new lessons, and new ideas.And I’d love to reconnect with you. If you’re new here, hi...

Your render looks fake because of this Fix these three today September 11, 2025. Ross Plemya Creator Hi there, I want to talk about something every 3D artist has felt at least once: that gut-punch moment when you finish a render and something about it just… looks fake. It’s frustrating, because you’ve put in hours, but the final image doesn’t have that “wow” factor. What saved me was learning why renders look fake and how to fix it fast. Let’s break it down. It’s Too Perfect Reality is messy....
