Looking Beyond the Flat Surface

We create learning materials that help people explore spatial thinking, examine design decisions, and develop skills through consistent work with 3D compositions. Each course combines thematic modules, visual examples, and assignments for independent study.

An Idea Shaped by Curiosity

Orxivar began with the idea of bringing key 3D visual design topics into one connected learning space. Our team noticed that form, composition, materials, and lighting were often explained separately, so we created courses that show how these elements interact within a complete scene.

  • Blake Berger

    Blake Berger

    3D Environment Artist
    He creates spatial environments and plans

    scale, object placement, and relationships

    between foreground and background.

    His work focuses on scene cohesion

    and visual rhythm.

  • Allyson Steele

    Allyson Steele

    Digital Sculptor
    She creates organic and decorative

    3D forms with close attention to silhouette,

    volume, and surface transitions. Her work

    combines expressive shapes with

    restrained detail.

  • Gil Powers

    Gil Powers

    Lighting Artist
    He works with light, shadows, and

    atmosphere in 3D compositions. He selects

    lighting direction and character according

    to the forms, materials, and mood of each

    scene.

See How Each Course Is Shaped

The Orxivar collection covers form, composition, perspective, materials, lighting, and the development of connected 3D scenes. Each course includes its own selection of modules, exercises, and final assignments for different stages of learning. The course preview presents the main topics, material format, and direction of each program. Select Preview Courses to compare the available options and choose a suitable course.

  • A minimalist white cube wall switch with a large spherical button on one face and a circular cutout on the side, shown on a solid white background.

    Connected Topics

    Form, scale, composition,

    materials, and lighting

    are presented

    as parts of one

    design process.

  • A set of five nested square frames in a geometric pattern, featuring alternating dark gray and light gray borders, centered on a solid white background.

    Scene Analysis

    Examples help learners

    examine relationships

    between objects, spatial

    layers, viewpoints, and

    lighting accents.

  • A modern table lamp with a glowing warm white spherical shade resting on a faceted, geometric blue-gray base against a plain white background.

    Offline Study

    Downloaded materials

    can be viewed on a

    compatible device without

    a continuous internet

    connection.

  • A stack of square sample tiles in white, gray, black, and dark navy tones, shown on a plain white background.

    Creative Range

    The collection covers

    foundational forms, framing,

    movement, lighting, modular

    objects, and connected

    visual series.

  • Lewis Dean

    Lewis Dean

    Lewis came to Orxivar with a foundational understanding of

    geometric forms, but he found it difficult to combine several objects

    into one connected scene. He often added detail too early, causing

    the composition to lose its main focal area. The ordered modules,

    spatial-layer examples, and exercises focused on scale and object

    placement were particularly useful for his learning process.

    “The materials helped me plan the scene first and move into

    detail only after the main structure was established.”

  • Helena Mcgee

    Helena Mcgee

    Helena was interested in lighting and materials, but her scenes

    often appeared visually uniform, with little distinction between

    different surfaces. She wanted to better understand the relationship

    between shadows, reflections, and illuminated accents.

    She found the visual comparisons, explanations of lighting

    direction, and exercises involving several versions of one

    composition especially useful.

    “I began paying more attention to how light describes a

    form rather than simply making it brighter.”
