I'm absolutely thrilled with the Diploma in CGI and Visual Effects Production course at Stanmore School of Business! The comprehensive curriculum and excellent teaching staff helped me achieve my learning goals, which were to gain practical knowledge in CGI and visual effects. The course materials were of high quality, relevant, and up-to-date, covering topics such as 3D modeling, texturing, and lighting. I was particularly impressed with the project-based assignments, which allowed me to apply theoretical concepts to real-world scenarios. For instance, I worked on a project where I had to create a 3D model of a building and apply visual effects to it, which really helped me understand the practical applications of CGI. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with the course and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in pursuing a career in CGI and visual effects.

The course content was pretty cool, and I learned a lot about CGI and visual effects. I liked how the instructors provided feedback on our assignments, which helped me improve my skills. One thing that really stood out to me was the section on visual effects, where we learned about different software and techniques used in the industry. It was really interesting to see how it all works. The course materials were also pretty good, with lots of examples and case studies. My only suggestion would be to add more interactive elements, like quizzes or games, to make the course more engaging. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in CGI and visual effects.
