HOW IT ALL STARTED
-2019 - The Spark
MadVFX began as a simple idea: to share our founder’s experience as a professional VFX artist in the games industry. What started as casual knowledge-sharing quickly revealed a bigger need practical, industry-aligned training.
-2020 – Live Classes
Our founder began hosting online mentorship sessions and live classes. The demand was immediate artists were hungry for real-world VFX knowledge, not surface-level tutorials.
-2023 - A New Chapter
MadVFX took shape as a dedicated online education platform. With the addition of a co-founder, the vision expanded: to create lasting value for the industry by teaching the lessons we wished we had when starting out.
2024 – First Course Release
The first official MadVFX course launched, bringing structured, project-based training to a growing community.

Today, MadVFX is home to a thriving global community of artists. With multiple courses running, new instructors joining, and more in production, we remain focused on one mission: teaching the craft, not the hype.
