What people are saying
About CG Pro
Tamara Abas - Unreal Generalist
"My name is Tamara. After I finished college, I really found myself on a plateau, and I really wanted to learn more about the process of virtual production and more importantly, improving my current skillset in Unreal Engine. And that's when I actually signed up for the Unreal Engine for Filmmakers class. What I really loved about this class is you're taught by industry professionals. They have the experience and knowledge, and they're able to provide you with everything you need to know. Step-by-step to be able to create a short film and unreal. I really found myself growing so much through this experience."
Randy Link - Animation Supervisor
"My name is Randy link. I am a visual effects artist and animator and working for the industry I think the last 30ish years. I just recently took the CG pro course from Jackie and Edd. And I wanted to just give it my wholehearted recommendation. They have a really bountiful amount of knowledge between them and the guest speakers. So it was really enjoyable. It was [also] great to be around the others who are making exciting things. So I can't say enough about it!"
Steve Wilcox - Virtual Production Supervisor
"The CG Pro course, it was a really good experience. I feel that the course is for anyone just starting out with Unreal Engine or up to people like myself, kind of in Unreal for a little while. There had been a project I've been planning on doing for like eight months and it finally kind of gave me the motivation to knock it out. Definitely say it's well worth the money that I invested into it."
