Getting Started
VFX Lingo is an interactive learning platform designed to help aspiring and professional VFX artists master industry terminology. We offer gamified lessons covering all major VFX disciplines including compositing, animation, effects, 3D modeling, set extension, and production.
Yes! VFX Lingo offers a free tier that includes basic lessons, progress tracking, and leaderboards. You get 3 hearts (mistakes) per day and access to core terminology across all VFX disciplines. For unlimited access and advanced features, we offer VFX Lingo Pro at 9 € / month.
Simply create a free account and choose one or more VFX courses to study. You can select from Compositing, Animation, Effects, 3D Modeling, Set Extension, and Production. Start with 3 hearts per day and begin earning XP points for correct answers!
Not at all! VFX Lingo is designed for learners at all levels. Our lessons start with foundational terminology and gradually introduce more advanced concepts. Whether you're completely new to VFX or looking to expand your knowledge, you can choose the courses that match your interests.
Learning & Progress
Most lessons take 3-5 minutes to complete. We believe in bite-sized learning that fits into your busy schedule. Consistency is more important than long study sessions, so we encourage daily practice even if it's just for a few minutes.
Hearts represent your learning lives. You start each day with 3 hearts. Each wrong answer costs 1 heart, but each correct answer earns you XP points! If you run out of hearts, you can watch an advertisement to refill them, or upgrade to VFX Lingo Pro for unlimited hearts.
We track your learning streaks, XP points, and completion percentages for each course. You can see your progress on your dashboard and compare with other learners on our leaderboards. Earn XP for correct answers and compete with VFX learners worldwide!
Absolutely! You can select as many courses as you want - Compositing, Animation, Effects, 3D Modeling, Set Extension, and Production. Switch between different courses anytime and track your progress separately for each discipline.
