What Our Alumni Are Saying

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.

Fernando

Counterplay Games

CGMA basically kick-started my career. Before taking courses with them, I was lost in regards to what I should be focusing on to get into this industry. The piece I created for my first class with CGMA actually helped me to get my first freelance!

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.

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.

Jess

Method Studios

Through studying at CGMA I was not only eligible to enter The Rookies, but my skills had improved so much that I won a studio internship, kick-starting my career in the VFX industry. Even after my studies have ended, I've still been able to contact my lecturers to ask their opinions and advice in progressing in my career as an artist; their support has been invaluable.

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.

Stefano

Titmouse INC.

What made the difference to me was the opportunity to talk each week with top-level teachers and learn directly from their experiences. The weekly lectures allowed me to work and study at the same time to get the job I always wanted.

Hector

Fox International Channels (Fox IC), Baby TV

CGMA helps me to improve my facial rigging skills and inspire myself to work hard and achieve my goals like my instructor Wade Ryer.
