CG Spectrum Opiniões 

Absolutely amazing 3D modeling course that taught me so much and really kickstarted what I hope will be a great journey into the business, whichever I may end up in from hereon! Great mentors, good tutors, amazing community and a ton of online activities to participate in.

Hi, I'm Max and I just finished this week the Foundations of Concept Art & Digital Illustration Course. I have been studying from Chile, a country with a poor perspective of art. I spent a couple of years studying illustration on my own, because what I wanted to study was non-existent in my country. When I realized that my own knowledge could not progress any further, I dedicated myself to look for some place where I could be taught, even outside the country and that's when I found CG Spectrum.

My experience was fun and exciting, there were months where I was busy with work but my mentor was always willing to help and guide me. The subjects are easy to digest and the assignments along with their challenges are really engaging. I didn't interact with the community as much as I wanted to, but I felt how welcoming they were and I really liked that. It really met my expectations and even exceeded them at some points, I would recommend this place and would love at some point to meet the place in person.

i've been in the industry of 2D/3D animation since more than a decade, Cg spectrum in a 3 months term let me know a full range of great stuff on real time production, beyond my imagination. i'm really happy to discover that temple of knowledge, mentors, TAs are passionate and love solving problems. it was a great experience, i will definetly continue learning with such amazing people. From Africa with love

When I wanted to take my dream of Game Development professionally being from rural Kentucky it is often seen as unobtainable.

CG Spectrum offers the skills necessary to practically any student that lives anywhere with an internet connection. The curriculum provided teaches on a professional level in a clear and concise manner, the mentors are knowledgeable and willing to work to help a student grow.

Overall I would without a doubt recommend CG Spectrum as a first choice for an online Game Development/Digital Art school.

I couldn’t have asked for a better school/institution or community than CGS! I’ve just finished the Foundations course for HoudiniFX and I honestly can’t wait for the advanced when my funds allow it. I only have the best things to say about CG spectrum. From their study material to their amazing lectures and on going support! Thank you guys so much!

I just completed the Foundations of 2D Animation course with CG Spectrum. It has been a fabulous introduction to the history, techniques, skills and principles of this amazing art form. I feel I have come a long way in the 36-week course and it has been amazing also getting to see the progress of everyone else in my class. The format is great, the tuition materials are top-notch and the mentors are very supportive and knowledgeable. Highest possible rating from me :) thanks so much CG Spectrum!!

I took the Foundations Of Concept Art & Illustration course as well as the Advanced Concept Art course here, and the program, mentorship, and Slack community have been absolutely incredible. Humza Khan was my mentor and the vast amount of knowledge & resources he shared, plus ways to improve process, I'll always keep in mind and apply it to my work. Logging in to class each week has been an absolute joy; these courses were a lot of fun, and a great challenge!

Programming for me always was hard to understand but with CG Spectrum I'm getting more confident in it. Small classes with great professors, the pace, everything works perfectly! I would highly recommend taking a programming course with CG Spectrum!

mentors are prepared and have a good knowledge about what they teach which makes the process less stressing in case its difficult for you to understand certain topics during the term you are studying,

I can honestly say that even by having experience on the field, I've gained a mind-blowing volume of understanding, even when considering the most basic of aspects behind Game Design and Development! Concepts I thought I knew now look so different under a new light. Lessons are challenging, assignments and classes engaging. A must for any professional looking to up their game a notch or 73.

Awesome class to get me started in Virtual Production / Real Time and Unreal Engine

The overall foundations course is pretty straightforward, and flexible for anyone joining. Our instructor as well was incredibly experienced and accommodating to our education. Honestly a wonderful program and worth every moment!

The mentorship was patient, kind, and helpful. The resources they give you are massively useful in beginning your journey into game design. The connections, the lessons, and the hands-on experience help immensely. All that within the timeframe that we are given is students is phenomenal. Would recommend to anyone who asked. (or, even if they didn't)

I knew very little about 3D modeling before beginning the Intro to 3D Modeling course. Before starting it, I had just expected I'd learn how to model objects. After about a week of the course I realized I was learning 3D modeling, UV mapping, and texturing. I didn't even know that there were major distinctions between each of these skills, and I didn't even know what UV mapping was.
I'll admit there were times I felt I was struggling just to keep my head above water. However the purpose of the course wasn't to make me the best 3D modeler, it was to expose me to the process and major software common to the industry. It laid the foundations for me to develop an intuition for each step of the process so that I can figure out most of what I need. Moreover, it brushed up on good development etiquette; already I'm seeing how useful it is to organize your files and projects when working on a team.
As of this writing, I'm working an internship and while I was originally signed on as a texture artist, I've been assigned projects to help with UV mapping and editing models. I've received numerous compliments about my professionalism and organization skills that have helped me be an asset to the team. The day before I started the intro 3D modeling course at CG Spectrum, I wouldn't have known the first thing I was looking at regarding any of the work I've done. Now, I feel more professional than I thought I would be after a 3 month course.
Cheers.

CG Spectrum has hands down the best mentorship I have found. My mentor made learning new and unknown processes in creating animation accessible approachable.

CG Spectrum has to be one of the most positive experiences I have had in any learning environment. The mentors are highly knowledgeable, and the staff is very responsive to any questions I have had.

Everything about CG spectrum for me has been Five Stars. I look forward to working with them in the future.

Just finished the 3 month Intro to 3D Modeling Course at CG Spectrum. I am very impressed by how far I've come from knowing little to nothing about 3D modeling, to creating a fully completed piece and understanding the basics behind modeling and texturing (in just 3 months). It took a few weeks to really get a grasp on what I was doing with learning the software, and understanding all the mechanics, but almost all of my questions were answered and no matter how simple my problems were, someone was always available to help out on the Slak channel. The video courses made me enjoy the work I was doing. Shoutout to Bryan Bentley for his amazing modules!

Some concerns I had with the experience: I was in a group class setting (4 students, one mentor) and the class-time was very short. The students go through 13-15 video lessons that take about 20 hours a week to complete and we only meet for one hour a week to discuss? Even if classtime was extended by a half hour, I feel like we would get at least a little more time to talk about the work or have questions answered face to face and not waiting for a response from the Slack channel. The small amount of class time really made me contemplate if I wanted to sign up and pay for the next terms. I'm also not sure if this was my specific class but I felt like I was the only student that completed my work at the end of each week. Its understandable that every student goes at their own pace and that we all overcome different struggles with our work throughout the week, but I was never really able to connect with my classmates with working through the videos because one would be behind by 2 weeks and the other would be behind by one week and I would be caught up. I just wish there were better deadlines for weekly submissions, so that we could all meet in class on the same, if not similar page. I guess weather you're signing up for individual one-on-one sessions or group sessions, you get out what effort you put into the course and the work.

Despite all of these concerns, you really are getting a lot out of this course. You have a large online community through Slack who always respond and help you. Your mentor records each session and posts it so you can continuously refer back to them. I think that the videos are well organized and for the most part, easy to follow. My mentor gave good feedback and like I said, I learned so much in just 3 months! These courses are pretty expensive but I think if you have the time, motivation, and commitment, and you really put effort into it, you'll get a lot out of it.

I finished the Concept Art and Illustration course a month ago and have found the experience at CG Spectrum to be great. The recourses available, slack channels, open sessions and one-on-one time with my mentor have truly helped me progress my art in ways I never thought possible. I've thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the vibrant community!

I put 5 stars because I've had an amazing mentor, Eric Wilkerson, great explanations, corrections and knowledge transfer, he got tons of experience and patience.

So the reason why I'm giving a one star review is because it turns out that they don't accept refunds for the 2nd term. So the reason why I decided to drop out of the course is because I started to work more hours and if you missed too much you get kicked out (I decided to drop out on the 1st day of the 2nd term).

So before you decide to go with this online program make sure you have plenty of time and your willing to go through the whole program before you lose $4,000.

Just finished the world building class for Realtime 3D & Virtual Production. This was and is still one of the best decisions I've made. Learning with CGSpectrum has put me in touch with amazing mentors and students who all share a passion for the arts. Thanks to Simon Warwick and William Foucher who are both technical geniuses and excellent teachers! I will be forever grateful.
