For 3D tutorials we will use either Blender, a free Open Source Software, or Cinema 4D and a plug-in called Octane Render. Both softwares offer subscription services and demo versions.

For 3D clothes we’ll have tutorials in Marvelous Designer. This is a programme that specialises in digital clothes and is available both as a demo and a subscription version.

At Patata School we’ll be using both Mac OS and Windows interchangeably. Luckily nowadays the interfaces look very similar and all programmes are cross-compatible.

We’ll be using the Adobe Creative Suite for almost all 2D tutorials, both for still images and animation. You can get a trial version of all the programmes or a monthly subscription for the whole Creative Cloud. We also have some specialised tutorials and brush sets for Procreate which is an iPad app (for which you’ll need an Apple iPad).

Not at all! Although Patata School’s tutorials are specialised and in-depth, there is always a version for beginners to make sure that you can learn everything even if you’ve never used one of these programmes.

You really don’t. From day one you’ll have unlimited access to all tutorials and materials in the website and will be able to start applying them to your projects.

Yes you can. All textures and materials can be used in both personal and commercial projects. Other elements like 3D modelled characters and objects are, unless specified, copyright of Cabeza Patata. That means that you can use them for learning but you’ll have to create your own version for commercial projects. But don’t worry, we’ll help you with that part and you’ll feel pride in having created your own personal 3D models.

Support will come through new tutorials and the Community Platform. We’ll make sure to take into account everyone’s concerns and ideas for the school through specific Community Channels and occasional Lives.

We offer both a monthly and annual subscription, so as long as you’re an active member you’ll have access to everything. We recommend going for an annual membership as new content will be constantly coming out and we don’t want you to miss out on monthly special events.

Yes! Our school is mobile-friendly so you can easily access it on your tablet, phone or laptop. Plus with your personal log-in, you can pick up your courses where you left off on any device.

Yes it will. As professionals working in the industry, we’ll talk about anything that running a studio involves. This includes organisation, communication skills, and life-work balance. Patata School has an all-encompassing approach to working in the creative industry so you’ll be learning about more than just pressing the right buttons.

No, you don’t. Most of our content is video streaming and can be delivered at different qualities. That means that if you have a shorter connection you might get a slightly more compressed image but will still receive the full information.
