What Our Alumni Are Saying

Nikola

Nordeus

CGMA helped me broaden my skill set, which is very important to me as a 3D generalist. I was able to get insights from industry-recognized world-class artists, and make like-minded friends and future colleagues.

Pawel

Artifex Mundi

CGMA increased my marketability as an artist by improving my perception of light and shadow, and helping me analyze the works of the old masters.

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.

Alina

Harebrained Schemes

The blend of self-study and instructor feedback is one of the most effective education methods for this field. Thanks to CGMA, I was able to go from zero industry knowledge to 3 game art job offers in under a year.

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.

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.

Carlos

Electronic Arts - Dice

CGMA is an excellent and affordable option for aspiring artists and professionals who want to build upon their skills. I took advantage of many classes during my Master studies at the University of Hertfordshire in order to develop my Master Thesis.
