The poster series is a format that allows the combination of typographic expressiveness and the magic of generative graphics on one sheet. We will offer participants several thematic directions and text excerpts so that each poster is not just a beautiful wrapper, but a cohesive statement.
We traditionally receive requests for a physical medium with the works of "Alchemy" participants. This time, we won't have to respond with "someday". Themes for visual research will be set. Curatorial text. Staged editing. Preparation for printing. And finally — publication. Genuine, with the incomparable scent of Dutch printing.
If this 'Alchemists' needed a slogan, this word would have been "publication". Without an intrinsic need, a desire, and finally, the ability to clearly denote oneself and one's work in space, at least digitally, there has been no success. Without your success, there is no point in what we do. Each participant of 'Alchemists' will prepare a bright and detailed case. Integrations will be created using Readymag, Behance, and/or other digital publishing tools, depending on the choice.
One of the logical and obvious applications of generative graphics is merchandise. Spatial objects, designer toys, clothing items, accessories. We will help ensure that, during or as a result of the "Alchemy" process, everyone who wants and is able to bring their objects to production will have the opportunity and space to publish and start selling their own merchandise.
The instructor presents and explains the material for the weekly module topic. Students ask questions in the stream chat, which are read by a moderator. The instructor answers as many as time allows. During the stream, the instructor introduces the week’s topic, formulates tasks, and provides strategies for solving them or completing weekly assignments.
After the stream, the material is available as a recording for asynchronous study.
Independent work is carried out both privately (building models, rendering, publishing as needed) and publicly (posting progress, reviewing each other’s work, Q&A in workshop channels, such as discussions on software usage).
Throughout the week, the instructor shares insights in a curator channel within the course community. They monitor overall progress, provide guidance, address gaps, share helpful resources, and, if necessary, upload technical videos or tutorials.
This is a feedback session where the instructor provides detailed reviews of completed and correctly formatted work. Requirements for exercises and course projects are published alongside the course content. Each task has clear guidelines for formatting and publication. Proper formatting is a key part of success, both within and beyond the course.
A class leader will review submissions before the stream to help avoid common mistakes and obvious issues. This ensures streams remain dynamic, productive, and within time limits.
Project materials, both intermediate and final, are intended for social media publication unless explicitly stated otherwise (e.g., when results need to be kept confidential for a greater impact later). Knowing how to present work properly on social platforms and share the creative process is crucial for a successful creative career.
The course teaches best practices for doing this and fosters a habit of building an audience around your creativity everywhere and always.
The "Alchemy" course cannot be effectively completed in isolation, even by the most brilliant student. Attempting to do so would be a counterproductive challenge.
The course community is a unique, positive, and productive environment. Members are united by a shared interest, but each has their own identity, approach, and way of thinking. This mutual enrichment of ideas, skills, and techniques is highly effective. The course emphasizes maintaining a healthy, constructive environment free of toxicity—a principle proven successful countless times.
Outside of a fully realized project, even the most remarkable works remain just pictures. In "Alchemy," every participant creates complete, non-"student" projects, both individual and collaborative.
Each project results in something tangible and professional—whether physical or digital. These projects are published, sold, and serve to promote the creator.
Main working stack of the course: Cinema 4D (Redshift / Octane), Plasticity, Blender (Eevee / Cycles).
Together, we’ll ensure that as many professionals and potential clients as possible discover the quality of your work through social media. We’ll teach you how to post frequently, engagingly, and effectively.
Each student receives feedback in different formats, clearly understanding where to develop and their works.
Comment on your work, help you figure things out and get to the result.
Here, you can ask for feedback or help. But your opinion will also be valuable to others.
He carefully monitors each student's work and appears in the chat exactly when you need his help.
The public presentation of your work at the end of the course allows you to receive feedback from professionals.
Every day, I learned at an incredible pace! I discovered so many new things, both technically and in terms of organizing my work. I can see that it works—amazingly well. I can see my progress and how much it has expanded all my possibilities.
Immersion in the process, conversations with Misha, and creativity. It’s both a community experience and a celebration of individuality.
I now carry the knowledge and techniques into new projects, with a deeper understanding of their importance. “At times, I didn’t quite know where I was or what I was supposed to do, but I recognized my maturity and answered those questions myself.”
Perfect for those who feel stuck or a little worn out.
The learning process has a cumulative effect—you don’t notice it happening, but somehow it does. You’re constantly working on a project, tackling tasks that aren’t straightforward but more indirect. This stretches your mind and fuels your creativity. Misha’s tips may be small, but they’re incredibly valuable. They break the rules in ways no tutorial could ever teach.
In the end, I grew in my own eyes. The people are incredibly talented, and it’s amazing to witness others’ processes. That alone boosts learning, motivates, and inspires. You see different approaches, embrace this concept, and live within it. It unites everyone around a common goal.
I’m deeply impressed by the group, the projects, and what people have achieved. It’s incredibly inspiring. Being a part of this is something to be proud of.
Perfect for artists looking to level up.
The most valuable thing, I’d say, were my own revelations that came when Misha gave me a “couple of days off.” Everything fell into place like a puzzle when I realized that this whole experience was about me. And in the end, I was truly satisfied with the result.
The desire to create for myself emerged, along with a cool technical skill—the ability to produce the image I envisioned. It felt natural for me, and I enjoyed the process. I tried something I hadn’t done before, and it worked out. My creative potential opened up: observing the world, paying attention to details, and a newfound desire for self-expression.
I asked questions about both philosophical and technical aspects. I learned to show my own activity so that others would also engage.
Every week had a breakthrough moment. There was form without substance, but here, substance appeared.
A warm, fantastic community. I was missing this kind of interaction, and I found it here. It’s always interesting to communicate, to learn something new. Misha’s way of thinking as a teacher is fascinating—you try to read between the lines. Misha never says anything without purpose.
During the process, it’s not so obvious that you’re growing, but when you look back, you get that “oh wow!” feeling.
Misha was very supportive, always finding and pointing out interesting things. Even when the criticism was tough, it was delivered without negativity, and it was so relevant that I never felt offended by the feedback. It’s valuable to discover what I want in life, what interests me, where I’m going, and who I am, and to understand what can be showcased about me. It’s a solid experience that changes your perception.
The course shakes things up. It transforms a dull, somewhat burnout life into a joyful one. It’s challenging to go through, but it’s worth it because something changes afterward. Life starts to feel more interesting, and when you go outside, you see countless objects that you could shape, create, or turn into something new.
I realized that I want to be an artist and that I can give myself a chance.
The course shook me, but in a good way. It reminded me that I can think critically. It’s amazing how my mind can start working and accelerate a topic, reimagining it.
Everything was valuable. The way the course was presented. There’s a course script, and it’s interesting to fill out the survey. I was often surprised, thinking, “Does this relate to our course? But these are really interesting questions. This isn’t even about 3D, Misha thought about that too.” The feedback from Misha and his experience were crucial. It’s important to follow someone, to be inspired by them. It’s amazing how easily he can tell so many fascinating stories. And the materials he provides are nothing like anyone else’s.
