CG Mentorship Coaching

CG Mentorship is a personalized learning experience for 3D, VFX, and digital artists who want real progress — not just more tutorials.
It’s designed for those who are ready to take control of their growth, work directly with industry professionals, and build the skills and mindset needed to succeed in today’s CG industry.

Unlike traditional online courses, this program is built entirely around you — your goals, your current level, and your creative ambitions.
You’ll receive a custom roadmap, one-on-one feedback, and guidance from experienced mentors who work in real productions.

Whether you’re just starting your CG career or leveling up to senior and lead positions, this mentorship will give you the clarity, structure, and professional direction to make it happen.

Each student gets a custom learning path in the CG / VFX industry, designed around their specific goals (VFX, 3D, compositing, Unreal, 3d marketplaces, Fab, etc.).
It’s not a “course” — it’s a project-based mentorship program, where the student grows under direct mentor guidance while completing real production tasks.

Through the Internet, you can find a pile of lessons, courses, training, and articles, both free and paid. Free resources are highly popular and accessible to everyone. At the same time, they lack consistency, proper explanation, methodology, and do not follow one learning path. You can spend a great deal of time trying to achieve a result, whereas a person who has had proper training has already started working, utilizing the knowledge gained from both theory and practical experience.

By the end of this mentorship, you will have learned the fundamentals of the VFX industry by creating your own photorealistic portfolio from start to finish with easy follow-along videos.

Below are some video examples created by the author that you can use as a reference when learning.

The mentorship should have something for everyone, no matter the skill level. It is definitely well-suited to give newcomers a great base to build on while also having a little gem here and there for everyone who has done similar things for years already.
