Instructor Details

Ruan Lotter

Ruan Lotter is a VFX & 3D Artist, Online Teacher, Music Producer and Author from Cape Town, South Africa. He has worked on many short films and TV commercials for brands such as Hasbro, Lipton, RB, Ryobi and HP doing mostly camera tracking, general 3D work and compositing.

It all started in 1994 when he discovered 3dsmax for DOS! Back then it was called "3D Studio" and that changed everything... A few years later, 3dsmax for Windows was released and the world of online tutorials was born. Ruan instantly started binge watching online tutorials on a website called "3D Buzz" and dove deep into the world of 3D. Over the years he used many different VFX related software such as Adobe After Effects, Maya, Cinema4d, Modo, PFTrack, Boujou and Nuke to name a few and he fell in love with the world of Visual Effects and YouTube became his university of choice.

At the beginning of 2020, after many years of using Maya, he found Blender which quickly became his go-to application for anything 3D or VFX related. In mid 2022 he published his first book "Taking Blender to the Next Level" which is available on Amazon.

He currently works as a VFX Artist & 3D Generalist at Accenture, doing mostly 3D and VFX work on TV and Web content for well known brands.

He also runs a YouTube channel called TunnelvizionTV where he teaches VFX and Motion Graphics using a variety of applications.

Brilliant! explanations. I'm a South African myself, living in England. nice to hear a familiar accent during the course :)

By John Howe on 2/5/2025

Covers the basics of reason very well. provides great shortcut tips and various methods of using the players / instruments. etc.

By Oded Kertes on 3/22/2024

Enjoyed this brief Reason 12 course. It was clear, simple, and efficient. I wish there would be more advanced courses to get a deeper knowledge into the program tools, instruments, and effects.

By Alex R on 8/21/2022

Great, easy to follow. Definitely helped me get a better understanding.

By Adrian Young on 12/19/2020

This is not a comprehensive course by any means but it doesn't pretend to be. It's suitable for people who have zero prior knowledge of music production. I'd been dabbling with Reason on and off for a while. I picked up a number of useful tips from this course. But probably the most useful thing that I'm taking away is the confidence to do things my way. I'd been worrying a lot in the past about doing things the 'right' way. Reason is a flexible tool. If what you make sounds good, then you are doing it the right way.

By Richard André Desjardins on 10/10/2020

C'est très bien expliqué. L'instructeur prononce très clairement alors le sous-titrage n'est pas nécessaire pour un francophone. Le cours couvre toute les connaissances de base pour utiliser Reason efficacement. Merci et félicitations ! Richard André Desjardins pour Studio Ryde
