Training Academy | Patrick Resendiz

I've helped hundreds of students learn 3D design and either grow their existing business or change careers entirely.

I'll take you from beginner to expert 3D designer.

When you land just one 3D design client, it pays for an entire year of training.

If you want to grow your business or start a career in 3D design, you're in the right place.

Patrick Resendiz, Founder

Many people who love interior design spend years doing it as a hobby, convinced that turning it into a real business is out of reach.

And many working designers know they should be using 3D design to serve their clients better. They just don't know where to start or how to fit it into their workflow.

I was there. I spent years in a corporate career I hated, doing work that wasn't mine, spending time away from my family and the life I actually wanted. I first learned Chief Architect to design and build my own home. After that I stopped using it and kept working in a corporate job.

Fast forward five years. When I finally decided I wanted something different, I picked up Chief Architect again. This time I was building a business. This time I was using it to help people. It took a lot of trial and error before it really clicked. A lot of mistakes. A lot of figuring things out the hard way.

I don't want that for you. I want you to succeed faster than it took me.

I want to help you build the skills that lead to a business you love. A business that gives you the freedom to be present for the people who matter most and the freedom to work from wherever you want.

I built my Training Academy because I wish something like it had existed when I started. I've helped hundreds of students go from beginner to full-time, grow their existing business, and change their lives.

7-Day Money-Back Guarantee

Try the Training Academy for 7 days. If it's not for you, I'll refund you in full. No questions asked.

Courses

Chief Architect training courses run $1,000 to $2,000 each when purchased elsewhere. Here you get unlimited access to every course I've built for $199 a month. Everything from beginner fundamentals to advanced techniques, all in one place, available the moment you join. Watch anything, any time.

Coaching and Support

You also get direct access to me. Questions, feedback on your work, and guidance when you get stuck. Access to an experienced coach or mentor in any field typically costs hundreds of dollars per session. Here it's included.

Rendering Application

The Rendering Application means you can create photorealistic renders without buying separate software or upgrading to an expensive computer. This saves you $50 to $100 a month in rendering software and $2,000 or more in not having to buy a high-end rendering computer. The Rendering Application is built directly into the community and ready to use from day one.

Design Libraries

The Design Libraries give you immediate access to thousands of 3D models, materials, lighting fixtures, and surfaces. These libraries took me years to build, and I'm giving you access to everything on day one.

Invest in Your Future

You get everything for $199 a month. And when you land just one 3D design client, that one client pays for an entire year of your Training Academy membership.

But if you think about it, the real cost isn't the $199. It's another year of figuring this out on your own, without the skills, the tools, or the support to get there faster. Every month you wait is a month you're not building toward the career and the freedom you're after.

Questions

I'm a beginner. Is this for me?

Absolutely. My training includes a beginner course that walks you step-by-step through the fundamentals so you can get started with no experience at all.

I'm already experienced. Can this still help me?

Most definitely. There's always something to learn, and I'm always pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Chief Architect, 3D design, and rendering.

What software is required?

You'll need either Chief Architect or Home Designer software. I use Chief Architect for all my professional work. If you're just starting out, Home Designer is a less expensive option.

How long does this take?

You can get through the core courses in a week. Most students stay for ongoing access to the libraries, the Rendering Application, and direct coaching from me.

Is this a one-time course or ongoing membership?

This is a month-to-month membership. You have access to all training, downloads, and direct support from me for as long as your membership is active.

What type of computer do I need?

Any newer Windows or Mac computer should work.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can pause your membership anytime. Your access continues until the end of your billing period. When you decide to rejoin, all of your progress in the training and community will be saved.
