Pirates were right. Archive what you got. Its cooked. Instructors are out thousands of dollars.
the instructors are snake oil salesmen that sold out to scam hopeful permabegs
another day another court case
Meanwhile coloso hosts AI/prompting courses, but you can't directly search for it lmao
>>7745046context please
>>7745009did they give a reason for the shutdown?
The CGMA legal notice about this is here:https://www.cgmasteracademy.com/legal_notice.htmlHere's an article with slightly more context:https://80.lv/articles/exclusive-cgma-might-be-on-the-verge-of-shutting-down-instructors-warnMy guess is that Domestika wanted to merge the subsidiary company into Domestika Inc to cut costs (but keep running the CGMA site). Either the board of CGMA company are playing games because the don't like the decision (which would explain the complete lack of context in the notice) or the Domestika people are cowboys who didn't bother to tell them that the legal entity they operate under, no longer exists. The Domestika VP who signed the dissolution seems to be one of the founders (and previous CEO) of CGMA.
>>7745048I ended up buying a coloso course a while ago and like a month later I got a full refund and they revoked access to the course. I didn't request any refunds. It was very odd. Even my bank couldn't tell me what happened. Its assumed their payment hold system never actually actioned the transfer of funds from the hold to their account but did action from my account to the hold. That being said I learned a lot more from the couple CGMA courses I took. Coloso is dogshit. I've heard the current CGMA courses are absolutely garbage though.
>>7745083coloso is easily the worst piece of shit platform out there right now>spyware drm>fake discounts>shit quality>ai courses>ai translations
>>7745291there is no drm, the discounts stuff is as old as dating back to the clickbank era, nothing new, plus they email you better discounts with their VIP program.3. You can’t tell the quality because you haven’t completed a single course, you’re a no draw. 4 and 5 shut up about the AI shit, it doesn’t effect you
>>7745301no drm* on global + what do you think the pirate resellers are using, real translators? They're using AI to translate the non-global courses. While I agree it's not an excuse for the company themselves to just use AI and not hire a translator, they're not the only marketplace that practices generating captions for videos this way. Their competitors does the same thing.
>>7745304And what you SHOULD be pissed off at is their sleazy return policy. Watching an intro video should not count towards their decision on giving you your money back. They should have a comments section in their video playback area so that other students can bounce off each other as well as the course maker. But the way it's set up is not classroom like. Nobody should have to be forced to join a discord where you're lost in a sea of different people taking different courses from you. And feedback falling on deaf ears.
i never liked renting out model coloso had. I brought one course and started pirating the rest once i found out
nice try coloso staff, your site is shit and you force install spyware
you don’t draw
shilloso
>>7745347nobody wants to spy on a no draw
lol look at the shiloso flailing
if only you could look at a non-empty canvas
>>7745009Shame, they really were the best to do it if you where interested in commerical art.
>>7745009It’s because you retards fell for torrents FUD. We could have full archive as torrents. Now only few courses are archived, the rest are lost media.
>>7745376more like they were the only online option for the longest time. theres much better options now
>>7745383>theres much better options noweh, most fudge coming up with good homework/assignments to complement the videos.
>>7745384im talking about online schools like brainstorm and cda
>>7745387Which one is best for anime girls?
>>7745301>4 and 5 shut up about the AI shit, it doesn’t effect youIt does you massive fucking retard. If people are going to be putting even more money and time into AI you better kiss you chance at having an art job good bye,.
>>7745472learn chinese
>>7745518all thats missing is a baidu account, i dont know how you get one
>>7745515>ifvast majority are lazy
>>7745515ai artists that try to apply with their portfolio get blacklisted immediately
https://www.cgmasteracademy.com/courses/143-creating-stylized-game-assets.htmllong shot, but Im looking for this
>>7745564what have you finished thus far
>>7745009Pity, CGMA is one of the few good online art schools, up there with Watts Atelier, NMA, Schoolism, CDA and Brainstorm.
I remember but a few years ago CGMA was all the rage with classes filling up quickly and people actually finding industry positions not being too uncommon as long as they're able to build a real portfolio. A lot can change in 5 years huh?
>>7745009What are the best courses that have been leaked? I only know Peter Han's Dynamic Sketching 1 & 2. And they are kinda meh. Perhaps meant for more experienced artists, not that hand-holdy. And he looks like a dick.
>>7747140dynamic sketching one is for upper-level-/beg/s i guess
>>7747169pyc(ircles) and b(oxes)
>>7747135The problem was when a lot of the good instructors left and people who quite frankly didn't teach as well were left with the class. You'd often see shit like >Taught by X>Lectures by ZAnd the two would have totally different approaches to art. Schoolism is better but I'm not a fan of the course structure. Like Nathan fowkes is really good but his approach is so confident and his work is almost abstract so it comes off as difficult to learn from.
>>7747567Who are the good instructors, anon?
