Live, instructor-led online classes for artists and designers who want to master 3D, art, and VFX skills — taught by people actually working in the industry.
CG Guides was built on a simple idea: the fastest way to learn a creative or technical craft is directly from the people doing it at the highest level. We connect students with working industry professionals through live online classes — no pre-recorded videos, no generic tutorials. Every class runs as a real-time, face-to-face session over Zoom or a Google Meet live stream, so you get live feedback and a genuine path into the industry.
100% live classes — every session streams over Zoom or a Google Meet live stream. No recordings to work through alone — you're learning alongside your instructor in real time. And if you'd like a copy for yourself, you can record the session.
Concept and illustration work that lays the visual groundwork for everything downstream.
Production-ready 3D — from hard-surface props to organic characters and garments.
Bringing scenes to life with simulation, motion graphics, and finishing.
Each category breaks down into focused specializations you can take on their own or as part of a full path:
Environment design, mood, and world-building.
Game-ready props optimized for real-time engines.
Hard-surface modeling with animation-ready topology.
Organic sculpting for creatures and characters.
Digital garment design and cloth simulation.
3D visualization for architectural and product spaces.
Motion graphics and visual effects.
Finishing shots with grading and composite work.
Live over Zoom or Google Meet — every class is a real-time stream with a working professional, never a recording.
Specializations across 3 core disciplines — Art & Illustration, 3D & Game Art, and Motion & VFX.
Personalized feedback and live Q&A — get real critique on your work, not just a checklist.
Industry-standard toolset — Blender, Substance Painter, CLO 3D, DaVinci Resolve, and more.
