What Our Alumni Are Saying

Sean Doyle

Lighting Artist at Reflector Entertainment

CGMA helped me set a baseline for lighting game environments and gave me the structure as well as the understanding I needed to push me forward in my career. My teachers were outstanding and the feedback/personal time you're able to have with the course instructor is a major boon. Not only was it a beneficial learning experience; it was a fun one too.

Hancy

Little Red Zombies - India

Mentorship from CGMA has set me on a professional path by their amazing mentors who teach industry standard workflows. Their guidance and feedback is golden. Special thanks to my mentor Adam Skutt.

Mary

Exceptional Minds VFX Studio

The advice and tips I got in how to build a great portfolio are invaluable. I completed my environmental design program in 2018 and am now an art director. The reason for my success is the portfolio and reel I was able to build up alongside learning skills and a work flow that are current.

Vitaly

Sperasoft

CGMA courses helped me to find my current job, and now I have the opportunity to work on AAA projects.

Ivan

Nordeus

My CGMA experience gave me the confidence I needed to tackle more complicated perspective-heavy challenges.

Omar

Instinct Games

One of the most valuable skills CGMA helped develop is my ability to self-critique, along with learning anatomy, which helped me better structure my models. In addition, the technical side of texturing in Substance Painter to produce art is invaluable.

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.

Matthew

Ubisoft Reflections

When I started creating 3D Art for environments, I never really knew where to start. CGMA helped me by giving me a foundation to build up from. CGMA allowed me to connect with other artists who share the same passion for 3D Art as me. I still keep in contact with the instructors and show them other personal projects that I?m currently working on.

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.

Student Showcase

From novice creatives looking to jumpstart their career to seasoned pros adding to their toolkit, our students produce thoughtful, mind-blowing work. We want the world to see it.
