WHAT ROCKET SKY
PRODUCES.

The real problem

WATCHING IS NOT THE SAME AS IMPROVING.

"Most people learning 3D animation spend years watching tutorials and never actually get better — not because the content is bad, but because watching without feedback is just rehearsing your mistakes."

YouTube gives you content. Rocket Sky gives you reps — and someone qualified to tell you when you've got it wrong.


The structured animation schools that offer real feedback charge $4,000 to $15,000 or more. Rocket Sky runs on a subscription model so the cost stays at $49 a month, and the feedback stays real.


Every month you spend watching tutorials is a month without a feedback loop. The gap between where you are and where you want to be doesn't close on its own.

How it works

THE FEEDBACK LOOP
YOUTUBE CAN'T GIVE YOU.

Most online learning gives you content to watch. Rocket Sky gives you a professional to review your actual work and tell you exactly what to fix — every single stage.

01
Work through a stage
Self-paced modules with no deadlines. 79 structured stages across Foundations I and II, each building on the last.
→
02
Submit your work
When you're ready, you submit. No waiting for a class to start. No batch schedules. You move at your own pace.
→
03
Get professional feedback
A working professional reviews your animation and tells you exactly what to fix — not generic tips, but specific notes on your work.
→
04
Revise until approved
You revise and resubmit until the stage is approved. No shortcuts. You leave with work that actually holds up.

What's included

EVERYTHING YOU NEED.
NOTHING YOU DON'T.

Foundations I — 31 stages
Classical animation principles through 3D software. Culminates in a Flour Sack animation — a recognized industry milestone.
Foundations II — 48 stages
Action animation, weight, cycles, and character movement. By the end you have a body of work you can show anyone in the industry.
Full Maya license — free
Rocket Sky is a certified Canadian institute and Maya community member. Every subscription includes a full professional Maya license — no watermark, all rendering capabilities.
$235/month value
Exclusive character rig library
Production-quality rigs built for the program. You work with the same class of tools used in real studio pipelines.
Professional feedback on every stage
Real notes from working professionals. Not AI. Not a rubric. Specific feedback on your specific animation.
Small school, real attention
Rocket Sky isn't a massive platform with thousands of students. Small class sizes mean your work gets seen — not processed.

Blender students are welcome too. Either way, the training, the rigs, and the feedback are yours.
