The Interactive & Immersive HQ PRO Reviews 36

Worth it. Has answered so many questions, saved so much time, and provided inspiration for new ideas too. Do it. Don’t wait.

You start learning fast with examples and tips that you don't find in forums or youtube as these are workflow based rather than just tutorial based.
The support is pretty much immediate as I get response pretty much on the same day, but of course this depends on where you are at in the world.

not the cheapest, but the most powerful way i've seen to educate yourself on professional realtime and interactive/generative A/V.

i spent 8 months teaching myself touchdesigner before joining HQpro after a year in resolume and 20+ years with adobe suite, maya, etc and easily doubled my touchdesigner capabilities in the first month.

teaching methodology and philosophy is outstanding and community is great for assisting when you're stuck and the assistance offered not only solves your problem (very often with custom made project files tailored to your problem), but teaches you how to solve it yourself next time you run into something simpler.

I can not rate the Interactive and Immersive HQ Pro highly enough. Not only great TouchDesigner courses, but the place to go for everything interactive and immersive, whether you are dipping in, or planning a career shift. I've tried many online resources but the HQ is absolutely the best at walking you through examples, giving you answers to questions you never knew you had, and setting you up to develop on your own. But wait there is much much more, there is someone at the end of a phone, or a zoom to give you answers to any challenge you face and a community of people at all different levels, ready to pitch in too! I teach for a living, and I am in awe of the guidance, professionalism and alright care given by the team.

The Interactive & Immersive HQ PRO offers many helpful courses, and the attached community is a great place to ask questions, get help on specific problems, learn and network with like-minded people.

Solid courses. Interesting additional platforms like the Jobs Board and the weekly Q&A. Do wish there was a better community option other than Facebook. Whether it be a traditional locked forum or a Discord server.

HQ pro is an awesome platform that provides developers with what they need to take their TD, unreal,python, GLSL, and production skills to the next level, enabling them to produce industry standard output and projects. It's rich, diverse, supportive and unique.

I've been keen to learn TD for a long time, yet there is no thorough courses out there. That is without counting all the material offered by The Interactive & Immersive HQ PRO community. I have learned SO many things, in SO little time, it's incredible! I'm enthusiast.
On top of that, you get access to group coaching calls (at least twice a month), useful materials and TD templates, a 1-to-1 call, and an exclusive (and extremely active) Facebook group. Wonderful!
Elburz and Matthew are always willing to help and they are super fast in doing it! Highly recommended!

Elburz is a brilliant teacher. He is clear and focused and covers an astonishing amount of material.

Elburz does a great job of presenting the material, but the best part is he also teaches you how to learn on your own, how to find your way through the documentation, find answers to new questions that come up. So you don't just learn a body of information, you become more independent in your ability to continue learning on your own.

Before buying my first training video, I was a little reluctant about the cost, but after the first one I found that the value per dollar was quite high. I've taken 5 of the trainings so far and have several more I'm looking forward to.

Getting into the interactive media space was a desire of mine for years, but I felt intimidated about where to start my learning process. When I found this group during the pandemic I decided to take a chance and try it for a month. I learned more in those first 30 days than I had trying to go it alone in the years prior combined. Elburz and Matthew both have great teaching styles that can take the abstract world of creative programming and break it down in actionable steps that have you off and running very fast. The community resource is also one of the highlights, where ANY questions are addressed promptly and with such a wealth of information. It really feels like you have access to some of the top mentors in this space and is very welcoming. I would highly highly recommend this to anyone who is searching to flex their creative muscles in new ways - you won’t be disappointed!

Elburz is super friendly and so easy to approach. He gives the impression that he is genuinely interested in what your goals are and how they may be achieved.

We have had a number of one to one communications where Elburz gave me some very useful advice.

For me, equally as useful have been his online tutorials. I'm a newbie in this field and I often feel overwhelmed with all the online content that is available and grasping what can seem a rather abstract piece of software. For my purposes, I find HQ Pro's tutorials definitely the best and most relevant that I have come across. Starting as a newbie in TouchDesigner the cost of membership is definitely worth it in my opinion.

Other content that is published weekly online and the regular Group coaching calls always provide useful and relevant snippets of information. It also a nice way to build a relationship with Elburz and other members.

A TouchDesigner god! Elburz also has so much experience and knowledge about building interactive projects and how to make being a freelancer a success.

Being a member of The Interactive & Immersive HQ PRO has accelerated my touchdesigner learning and has helped me to build a solid foundation on which I am building a new career in interactive multimedia. The online training videos cover a wide range of topics from touchdesigner tutorials, to business and technological advice, and the online community is thriving with Elburz and Matthew being on top of all questions and very attentive to the community.

The HQ has got me off the ground level of learning TD and into my current state of a software and visual developer that can earn a living using the skills I have learned. Elburz always takes the time to help out and has invested a lot into me. Thank you for everything! <3

I joined the HQ PRO to give myself an all around upgrade in understanding and skills as a TouchDesigner developer and artist. I devoured the training videos and took notes and I can honestly say it's been a huge step forward for me in this area. On top of that, being included in a network of other developers and artists and teachers made it possible to get answers and advice specific to my projects while also absorbing the learning from others doing the same. I have heaps of gratitude for Elburz Sorkhabi and Matthew Ragan for this project.

This hub of TouchDesigner experts sets the standard for community Q&A. Every single question I’ve asked has been met with thorough and useful answers, accelerating my comprehension of interactive media installations and TD development.

The Interactive HQ is an amazing resource. I use the Facebook group and the tutorials in the HQ the most. Elburz and Matthew are super responsive and help answer any question. The only reason I give it a 4 is the price. I'd like to say, I think you can totally get more than your moneys worth from this membership, however for me I don't work in Touchdesigner full time and have been having trouble using this resource enough to justify the monthly cost. Less of a reflection on the HQ itself and more of a comment on what level of user this would be worth it for.
