Cg master academy (Cgma)
Website: www.cgmasteracademy.com Courses offered (online only): 3d Character Arts students: 500 (average) per term If online is your preferred method of study, CGMA is a great place to start. A leading provider of online digital art education, CGMA will start you on the right track to becoming a 3D industry professional.
The 3D Character Arts programme guides students through the process of what it takes to be a well rounded character artist. You’ll get to grips with the importance of being effective with your tools, fluent in human anatomy, understand what makes a compelling character, and discover how to finalise and polish work to industry standards. At the end of the course, you’ll apply everything you’ve learnt to producing your own demo reel to help land that first (or next) job.
Currently on the last block of the programme, is student Gabriel Chiang. “Specific content, affordability and quality of instructors (proven by their portfolio) that are currently working in industry is what sets CGMA apart,” he says. “There’s a great relationship between the instructors and students, with some tutors going even further and helping you outside of class. CGMA is great if you think you need to improve or refine some skills – it’s a really good choice if you want to continue your education.”
