Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly do you offer?

Three things, and they connect.

Education. The main one. Free entry points, single courses, the course Library, and the 3D AI Architect Program. You learn to build the systems yourself, and you keep the code.

Consulting. For when your team needs a result delivered against a deadline, or a capability transferred so it stays in-house after I leave. Scoped on a 15 minute call, then quoted per engagement. Details on the Enterprise page.

Software. Building solutions for clients showed me the same problems over and over, so I productized them. That is the Neurones 3D Software Suite, and the desktop engine is a free download.

Most people start with education. Some add consulting. The software is there either way.

How much does it cost?

The free mission costs nothing. Single courses run EUR 97 to EUR 697. The Library is EUR 297 every three months, or EUR 897 a year, and covers every standalone course for as long as you subscribe. Individual operating systems are EUR 1,497 each.

The 3D AI Architect Program has three tiers: Foundation EUR 1,997, Professional EUR 2,997, and Architect EUR 12,997. The Architect cohort is currently full and applications are open for the next intake.

Enterprise work is quoted per engagement after a 15 minute scoping call, because scope is what drives the number. Prices are one time unless stated. The optional annual renewal for new content is EUR 697 a year on Foundation and EUR 497 on Professional and Architect.

What's the difference between the Program and the Library?

The Library (EUR 297 every three months, or EUR 897 a year) is the shelf: every standalone course I publish, including 3D Forge: Build Camp, for as long as you subscribe. The 3D AI Architect Program is the Library plus everything I do not sell separately: all four operating systems (EUR 1,497 each on their own), the 17-episode 3D AI Accelerator, the 17 artifacts you build, the full source code and trained AI models, and access to Neurones 3D (Science). Lifetime access, and a community I’m active in every week. Three tiers: Foundation EUR 1,997, Professional EUR 2,997, Architect EUR 12,997.

Do I need to buy Neurones 3D separately?

Not to follow the program. The Neurones 3D Software Suite comes in three parts. Learning is the guided workspace, and it is included in the Foundation tier. Science adds the research toolchain and is included in Professional. The Engine is the standalone processing core: one free desktop download at scan to knowledge, no account, running on your own machine.

So you can take the software without the program, or take the program and get the software with it.

Do I need a PhD or advanced mathematics background?

You need intermediate Python and a rough sense of what a point cloud is. That’s it. I explain the math as we go, and I favor intuition over proofs. Most students are working engineers, not academics.

Can I use this for commercial projects?

Yes. Full commercial license included with the Program. Use all code in your products, consulting work, or internal systems. Only restriction: you can’t resell the course itself as training material.

How long does it take to complete the Program?

You get clarity from episode 1. Your first working artifact ships inside 15 minutes. A focused week full-time covers the accelerator. A relaxed pace at 10 hours a week runs under 30 days. And lifetime access means you can come back whenever your project demands it.

Is there a refund policy?

14-day money-back guarantee on single courses and the Library. The 3D AI Architect tiers carry a 90-day transformation guarantee. Apply the material, and if you don’t see the value after actually using it, email me and I send the money back. No forms, no friction.

What tech stack do you use?

Python and PyTorch at the core, with Open3D and NumPy for the geometry. On top of that, the parts that are actually moving: Gaussian splatting and neural rendering for reconstruction, open-vocabulary models so you can query a scene in plain language instead of retraining a classifier, and 3D foundation models for zero-shot understanding. For shipping: FastAPI, Docker, React Three Fiber, and local-first inference, so your data never has to leave your machine. I teach agent tooling too, because the work is shifting from writing every function yourself to directing systems that write them for you. Every system ships with the full code repository and the deployment scripts, and you own all of it.

Do I need a GPU?

Recommended for deep learning systems (4, 5, 6). I provide Google Colab notebooks (free GPU) for all GPU-intensive modules. You can complete the entire program without owning a GPU.

Who is this not for?

If you want a certificate to frame, this is the wrong place. I do not issue one.

If you have never written Python, do the free mission first and come back. If you want the system built for you rather than with you, that is consulting rather than the program, and it lives on the Enterprise page. And if you need a managed cloud platform with a support contract, I am not that: everything here is code you run on hardware you control.
