Reply To: Growing Dissatisfaction with CGCookie

[Matthew Fricker]

I can’t speak for all the staff members, as I am only just back from a break from CG due to becoming a father to twins , but I know for a fact that @waylow , Wayne Dixon who is CG Cookies Animation tutor , makes a point of critiquing everyone’s animation exercise submissions in great detail and he also started the 2.8 roadblocks and obstacles thread which was specifically focused on helping the community transition to Blender 2.8 and I have seen over the past 6 years , plenty of staff critiques, both on the excercises and through live feeds .

I myself ,along with many others ,  grade  exercises as well , and most of us don’t have time to write much in the way of feedback either , so don’t get offended if you don’t always get feedback. In itself, a pass or a fail is better feedback than nothing. 

As for the rest of the staff at CGC who don’t always grade excercises  , I’m sure they are doing their best and are very busy making awesome tutorials and making everything happen behind the scenes so that we can all have great learning material and a great community to learn from. 

I’ve always loved CCG for its friendly, personal community based atmosphere which I think comes from the fact that it is a fairly small company,  so I would suggest you focus on those positives , and hopefully understand why the guys and girls that run CGC can’t always do everything. 

I have also found CGC to be much cheaper than other comparable learning hubs , and because of that I think its reasonable not to fret over some things that aren’t always as you expect. 

I am only speaking from personal experience, but I have been an ongoing , paying member of CGC since 2014 , and in that time I have come to love the company, the staff who make it happen , and the service they provide.  

Hang in there and see if you can see things from a different perspective 🙂
