I think it depends on your definition of Pro.
Pro as in business professional who lives off of his art or pro as in high tier skill and knowledge artist?
For me personally, I am currently making gigantic steps in 3D and concept art compared to my knowledge and skill that I had prior to my CGC signup.
Ever since I signed up on CGC and took the courses, I have started understanding my trade more and more. When before, most of what I did was experimental as in “I’ll just play around with this until it looks good to me”, it is now at “I know what will most likely give me the result I am looking for and if not, I can think of some other things that might work out too.”
And if it doesn’t, I can search for a course on here or ask the community.
Once I finish my current project, I can try to see if I can find any files of my first steps in 3DCG and upload them, you will see the substantial amount of improvement immediately, I promise.
I don’t want to sound like a slimey bootlicker (I have no reason to, either), but getting the citizenship on CGC was by far one of the best decisions I have made, regarding the improvement of my skills.
