Explore Outsourcing →Industry-grade training built on the same production experience that powers our outsourcing work.Courses, tutorials, and resourcestaught by artists who've shipped real games.
From beginner foundations to advanced simulation, every course follows our reference-first methodology.
Explore Education →MadVFX started from a decade inside AAA studios — shipping effects forBattlefield, Gears of War, Shadow of War, Contraband,and more. We saw two problems nobody was solving well: studios struggling to find reliable VFX outsourcing partners who could actually integrate into a live pipeline, and artists struggling to find training that matched what production actually demands.
So we built both under one roof.MadVFX is a VFX outsourcing studio and an education platform— each side fueling the other. Our outsourcing work keeps us sharp on what studios actually need right now. That production experience flows directly into our courses, tutorials, and resources.
