[HN] Lumina Graduation 2026: Honoring the Very First Generation of 3D Artists from Lumina Academy

18/05/2026

On the evening of January 26, 2026, Lumina Academy Hanoi officially held the Graduation Ceremony for its 3D Cinematic & Game design programs, honoring students from classes K1 and K2. This historic milestone marks the debut of the very first generation to complete the academy’s intensive training roadmap, opening a new chapter for the high-quality 3D design talent pool.

A 2-Year Journey from the Very First Steps

In a formal yet warm atmosphere at the Lumina Academy Hanoi campus, the Lumina Graduation 2026 ceremony took place with the presence of the academy board, faculty, strategic partners, and a large gathering of parents and students.

Distinct from traditional graduation ceremonies, this event for K1 and K2 carries a profound symbolic meaning for the "pioneering generation." These graduates are the trailblazers who laid the foundation for the 3D artist community at Lumina, persevering through a rigorous 2-year specialized training roadmap.

Proving Capabilities Through Real-world Projects
The highlight of the ceremony was the graduation showcase area, featuring student Showreels. From their early days grappling with complex software interfaces, the graduates can now confidently present vivid 3D Cinematic sequences and high-spec Game environments that meet strict industry technical standards.

Professional Quality: The showcased projects demonstrated a clear maturity in both aesthetic mindset and technical execution skills, particularly in handling materials and lighting.
Spirit of Perseverance: To achieve those seamless, high-quality frames, each student endured hundreds of hours of feedback and refinement under the demanding guidance of their mentors.

Emotional Moments of Gratitude
During the ceremony, Lumina Academy representatives shared the proud and moving journey of the students. A documentary video capturing their challenging academic path—from pulling all-nighters to beat tight deadlines to the pure joy of seeing their debut products take shape—deeply touched many parents and graduates.

The academy also extended its heartfelt gratitude to the parents, who stood as solid backbones, putting their complete trust in their children's choice of this relatively new and innovative career path.

Opening a New Chapter for Young 3D Artists
The graduation certificate presentation for classes K1 and K2 is not the final destination, but the starting line for new creative horizons. Armed with a solid knowledge foundation and battle-tested practical skills honed at Lumina, this generation of students is expected to become key players driving the growth of the domestic and international 3D Cinematic & Game industries.

Lumina Graduation 2026 concluded with great success, leaving behind a beautiful resonance of a young generation of artists who dare to dream, dare to commit, and dare to assert themselves in the world of digital art
