Overcome your Blender obstacles
If any of these scenarios are something you relate to, then chances are you’re exactly the right kind of person who would benefit from Orange Turbine’s coaching program. Our job is to help you create the highest quality work that you can.
Blender can do so much, where do I even get started?
It’s true. With all the wonderful things that Blender can do, it’s sometimes difficult to know where to start. Our coaching program starts with a conversation where you share your goals and interests. From there, you’ll get a personalized coaching plan in writing that serves as your guide to achieve those goals.
I know which areas I want to improve in but I don’t know which tutorials to follow
Through our affiliation with CG Cookie, you have free access to their full library of courses. As part of your personalized coaching plan, you get a custom playlist of courses that gives you a clear path to reaching your goals. And courses aren’t the only solution. With 4 hours of 1-on-1 video calls each month, you get techniques that workflows that aren’t typically found in tutorials.
I know how to do great things in other programs but it’s a struggle to do the same in Blender
You want to transfer your incredible skills for use in Blender without getting lost in the weeds. We can help with that! We’re familiar with workflows and tools in other programs and we’re able to help you translate what you know to the Blender way of doing things without all the frustration of trying to figure it out yourself.

I began my journey desperate for Blender mentoring, but I’m now more confident and playfully curious about what I can do with Blender, especially with lighting! Jason helped me bring out many fears and doubts about using Blender.
