MasterClass Proposal Guidelines and Resources

MasterClasses are unlike training that is available in schools or other venues. For example, attendees are not keen on attending product demos; they can easily arrange those with their dealers or on the trade show floor. Rather, they are seeking session that will help them overcome practical workflow challenges in their day-to-day work. MasterClasses offer attendees a unique opportunity to learn new ways to streamline processes using 3ds Max, Maya and MotionBuilder.

Based on direct feedback from attendees, successful proposals will focus on one or all of the following elements.

  • State-of-the-art tools, tips, and techniques that represent best practices in various disciplines which have been learned through mileage in the industry.
  • Personal and team productivity-boosting solutions for common day-to-day tasks and issues faced by attendees.
  • Specific methods to improve concept-to-completion cycles: workflow, collaboration, productivity, and overall efficiency.
  • Current industry trends, with a view to identifying what's hot and what's not.

More Than Product Training

In addition, many attendees expect sessions that cover advanced to 'Master' level topics. We therefore invite proposals that contain more challenging content that will engage and benefit "power users" - that is, professionals with five or more years of industry experience.

Experience Levels

It's important that attendees have a good sense of the experience or expertise level you expect your class participants to have. Use these guidelines to designate the level of skill or experience your class attendees should have in order to get the most from your session. MasterClasses should be, at the very least, advanced in their content.

All Levels - For attendees of varying levels of experience - from basic to advanced. Material in your session is general enough to benefit anyone with an interest in the subject.

Advanced - For attendees with 3 to 5 years of experience.

Master - For attendees with more than 5 years of experience..
