Excellent instructor. It was great to have someone like Anthony sharing his knowledge with us.

Anthony Vaccaro was great and really seemed to care about my work during the feedback videos. He showed great interest and knowledge during the Q&A’s as well, and answered every questions asked during so, as well as answered every question posted via forum throughout each week.

Kyle

I loved the overall feedback and this course, it was clear and honest. And gave me a different way of creating creating an environment. He could easily see where I need to improve my assets and explained it very well.

Jay

Anthony is really knowledgeable and great at explaining technical things in a way artists can understand.

Jacqueline

I already had intermediate skills for designing the environment, but Anthony took everything to the whole new advanced level of world building and helped me a lot to learn different steps of the environment design and how to prepare the assets and landscape to get the result that I want. His experience is priceless and I am so happy that I invested in this class and I feel more confident to pick whatever idea or concept that I want and turn it into the portfolio piece that I want.
