What Our Alumni Are Saying

Vladimir

Plarium

I have gotten so much useful information during my CGMA classes which has helped me to improve my skills and achieve better results in my career.

Kalpana

Anibrain & Anibrain Interactive

I really enjoyed the course with Igor Staritsin as an instructor. My day-to-day work has benefited the most from the attention to detail & constructive feedback. I would recommend these courses to artists as they get to understand the VFX production pipeline followed worldwide.

Martin

Cassagi

CGMA helped me with how to work with references, in a way that I can not find anywhere else. Also, for the designing process, I learn from my instructors many new approaches, which are really beneficial.

Jesse

Guru Studio

CGMA benefited my career by giving me the confidence and skills to create a portfolio that I could use to apply to studios around the world. It inspired me to continue learning and push myself forward to achieve my goals.

Edwardian

Boss Fight Entertainment

The price cannot be beat. In comparison to other online classes, CGMA is the best out there. And I made lots of great connections with not only my instructors but with other artists in different levels of learning from beginners to industry professionals.

Roy

Bron Animation

Taking "Character Design for Production" and "Character Design for Animation" gave me a huge leg up in the animation industry. I was already animating for film and needed the extra push to be able to lend my skills in other areas of feature production I was passionate about, namely character design and development.

Jared

Turtle Rock Studios

CGMA allow me the opportunity to meet industry professionals and learn industry-standard techniques. It also helped me push my craft and portfolio to industry quality.

Victoria

Rare

CGMA courses helped me stick to a structured schedule, motivating me to push myself further. I was also able to talk to industry professionals running the courses, which gave me an insight as to what the industry was like.

Sonja

Massive Entertainment / Ubisoft

CGMA offers amazing classes that are fun and informative, even for seasoned artists. Clinton's UE4 Modular Environment class taught me everything I needed to know to be able to branch out from film and also work in VR and now AAA games.

Isabelle

Disney Television Animation

I took Storyboarding for Animation, and not only did I gain a greater knowledge of cinematic storytelling, I feel like I gained a better understanding of what professionals and studios look out for in a storyboard artist.
