In May 2026, Animation Flow is joining Agora Community, and together, we're launching an all new animation education platform combining high quality education, gamification, mentorship, and community. With a whole new animation curriculum, rigs, mentorship opportunities, and more, we're excited to take this next step in providing quality animation education.

May 2026.

Yes! In May 2026, Guilds will be coming to Agora Community. Guilds are live, weekly, group mentorship cohorts led by individual mentors and focus on giving students in-depth mentorship. Guilds will be available to students at the Pro Tier or higher.

The new curriculum will include 20+ prerecorded courses developed by industry professionals and will create a start-to-finish learning path for a student to learn 3D character animation. Within the curriculum there are specialized paths covering Fundamentals, Character Animation, Creature Animation, and Game Animation, allowing students to learn specialized skills needed for their specific career goals. This full curriculum will be available for any students subscribed at the Basic Tier or higher.

Yes! With the new platform there will be weekly, prerecorded Open Review sessions led by Alex Ferreira Simoes. Students at the Basic Tier or higher can submit their homework assignments to open review (8 spots open per a week, first-come-first-serve) and receive prerecorded feedback from Alex.

Anything released on Agora Community previously will remain free and it will still be possible to create an Agora Community account for free. The majority of the new curriculum we're releasing in May and the upcoming mentorship opportunities will be reserved to paid subscriptions tiers.

There are multiple types of gamification supporting our student learning experience:

Student Skill Tree: Students will have a personalized skill tree map that will track their progress and map out the path they should take to reach their goals.

Agora Tokens: Students will be able to earn Agora Tokens for successfully completed and graded homework assignments, AnimChallenge wins, and more. These tokens will be exchangeable in the Agora Store for character rigs, props, skins, and more.

XP and Levels: Students will receive XP for assignments, participating in the community, and other activities. Earn enough XP and you'll be able to level up.

Yes! New characters will be coming to the Agora Community platform very soon…

You can sign up for our notification mailing list here. People signed up for that list will be notified when the platform goes live, and we'll send out some info about the upcoming courses we'll be offering.
