Online Courses?

yoda

Hi all!


I'm looking for online courses, trying to improve my techniques and knowledge.
But I'm a little bit lost about schools and places that are really worth it.

I'm an environment artist, I would like to learn Unreal 4 or CryEngine and improve my Zbrush skills.

I was thinking to join this course http://www.futurepoly.com/3DModelingOnline.aspx

What do you think? you know better places?

My budget is 2000$

Thank you guys!

I have done 2 workshops that ran for the same amount of time that were great and cost half of what they are asking at the link you supplied. If you dont want to use dvd lessons then I recommend workshops. The workshops I have done were by prominent artists and were really high quality. Both had forum feedback for participants which is a big plus. If you shop around you should be able to find exactly what you need.

Kanga mind linking them here?

Sure
The one from Zack looks like it has been split up into parts as it was a while ago I did the workshop, but here is what he has now: http://www.zackpetroc.com/classes/
Also looks like he has a workshop on Gnomon as well so you could look there too.

The other workshop was from Jon Rush and it was pretty much everything from blocking in to end baking for game characters. This was also a while ago but here is a link to Jon's info and it looks like he is still doing training: http://www.cgsociety.org/training/instructor/jonathan-rush

Both Jon and Zack are brilliant teachers, I can't recommend them highly enough.

Digital Tutors is really good, they more or less cover every application(for vfx, games, films), method in a very instructional easy to follow fashion.

Cool! I think I'll wait.

Uartsy is really good. I'm currently doing a prop modelling course by Brett Briely and it is really fun.

I don't think tutorials can compare to taking an actual class with feedback. There is also motivational aspect that you can't get with just tutorials.

I'm also doing the Uartsy prop modelling course with Brett, its really great. I definitely recommend courses if you are building a portfolio as it will give structure, motivation and guidance to your work. I'm going to sign up to the Futurepoly online one too when it is next on, looks awesome.
