3D Environment Arts Track

Awesome teacher! I would take other classes taught by David without giving it second thought. Very knowledgeable and friendly, assignments are paced very well, lots of great info that is useful with real applications.

David Mooy speaks in a relaxed manner and doesn’t sound rushed, which is a big plus for students who are not native English speakers.

It is like learning from a real seasoned veteran of the industry. Mooy seemed passionately interested about what he does — and clearly knows his stuff — and you can obviously see that in the Q&As, where he answered a question it would generate more discussion and it was all so interesting to listen to and you learned so much.

David presented the material in a very easy to understand way and the course itself was definitely a good kickstart into learning the basics of Maya.

Mr David Mooy has the ideal teaching style for helping learners at the early stage of their journey, not only to develop skills quickly, but also to be enthused and excited about the learning journey ahead. He’s patient, positive, personable and knows his subjects inside out.

I just want to say how great David was as an instructor, his videos were full of info and yet he still managed to make them upbeat and interesting. His feedback was always encouraging and made me want to get better for the next week’s assignment.

Martin is fantastic and I’d love to take another course by him.

[Martin] is resourceful in technical and artistic in the level of seeing the big picture of the composition.

Minyu is a great teacher with so much knowledge and insight. I learned a lot and feel grateful to have taken his class.

Minyu did a great job teaching. He was very knowledgeable in the field. I also loved his passion for helping others and taking the time for each student, helping them with their journey through this class. It made learning so much more fun.

Minyu’s feedback was excellent and I am grateful for the techniques and knowledge he shared with us. Minyu offered simple solutions to many issues which had previously been a hindrance to some of my projects.

Michael is a very efficient and energetic instructor, which I love because the course material can become so much more dense. I feel like I got to learn a lot in a very short amount of time because of that.

He is extremely knowledgeable and very generous in how he shares what he knows with the class.

One of the greatest teachers I’ve ever had. Always had more to teach and show while doing so in a way that was quick to grasp. I did not expect my comfort in Zbrush to scale so fast in several weeks.

He did a great job of showing us all the possibilities that exist from different workflows to different artists and really set us on a path for success following the courses conclusion.

Michael’s encouraging approach made learning on this course a great joy as well as a great challenge. You can really feel welcomed into the world of 3D if you’re a newcomer.

Michael has been an amazing tutor. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this course to anyone and I’d also be very keen to enroll in a course with Michael again.

Mahreen was really helpful during the course, she gave me precise and clear feedback that really pushed my work forward. I liked that she had a different approach to things than Ben from the videos because it was helpful to see two points of view and it made things easier to understand.

Loved Mahreen as a teacher, very helpful feedback and encouraging.

She did a good job explaining things and giving advice on how to refine my work further.

Really happy to have Ben as an instructor! His videos and feedback are simple and clear, and I never felt that I was completely lost when taking the course. He also really went out of his way to answer all kinds of questions, especially in the Q&A. I took this course to learn the tools and mindset of Substance, and I believe I achieved this goal with this course.

Ben is very focused on the student—he gives long and outstanding homework feedback.

I really appreciated the frequency of feedback Ben was able to give. It really helped me improve rapidly week-to-week.

Ben was great, I really enjoyed his instruction and he really knows Substance Designer and Painter and can relate his knowledge well.

Ben was a fantastic tutor who really look the time to aid us as best he could. I’ve suggested the course to many peers / colleagues.

Ben did a great job of breaking it down in a clear and concise manner with no fluff—just the theories and professional practices to use and get great results. So thanks again for all the effort he put in and the speedy reviews and feedback.

Ben was absolutely fantastic to learn from. I felt pretty intimidated trying to learn game art from a pro but he was very open and nice. He made it easy to ask questions and gave thorough answers.

I appreciate Ben’s attention to detail during this course. His openness made it easy to ask questions, and his willingness to explain even small things made it feel like he cared about my personal growth.

Ben, is by far the most thorough instructor I have had at CGMA. All of my classes have been great but I feel like I have gained the most constructive learning from this course. Thank you endlessly!

The teacher was attentive and showed full capacity with the tools and pipeline. He was always happy and willing to share materials beyond the course.
