The mentorship with Cristian was an incredibly formative experience.

During the course, I had the chance to learn tips, tricks, and knowledge about the most important software used in the field. More than anything else, Cristian managed to convey a solid workflow and a positive mental approach to the work as a 3D artist. I was particularly struck by Cristian's ability to make you understand themes and topics primarily on a conceptual level, to then allow you to use the software and technique with awareness and mastery.

Beyond the necessary technical and practical acquisition, the course helped me tremendously in gaining autonomy and developing problem-solving skills.

Working with Cristian has been one of the most important steps in my growth as an FX artist.

Over the mentorship, his guidance helped me refine my workflows, optimize my setups for fast iteration and present clean, structured dailies that align with real production standards.
The thing that stood out the most for me was the clarity and depth of his feedback. He doesn’t just tell you what to change, he explains why it matters and how a supervisor or a client would see it. This helped me strengthen both my artistic decision-making and my ability to adapt quickly to notes. You notice his experience right away: he identifies issues fast and communicates solutions in a way that is direct, constructive and easy to apply.
Even though the mentorship runs in a small group, the attention feels very personal. Thanks to the constant communication on Discord, we shared versions between calls, asked questions during the week and got quick replies, and even had extra one-on-one support when needed. Having that mix of individual feedback and the push of seeing other artists improve at the same time was really motivating.
More than producing a single strong shot, this mentorship changed the way I approach FX as a whole, from technical choices and iteration strategies to communication, presentation and professionalism.

Cristian sets a demanding but fair standard, expects the best of you, and gives you the tools and clarity to reach it.

When I began the Intro to CG & VFX mentorship with Cristian, ⁣I had no prior experience in 3D, but a strong foundation in 2D art and a passion for learning.

Cristian’s patient guidance took me from the fundamentals of 3D modelling to an advanced understanding of production pipelines and workflows.

His teaching style made complex concepts accessible, and he always went above and beyond to ensure I fully understood each step.
This mentorship was invaluable, not only for the technical skills I gained, but also for the confidence and creative exploration it fostered.

Cristian created an environment that was both challenging and supportive, pushing me to grow as an artist while respecting my unique background in 2D.
His dedication to my progress was evident in every session, and thanks to his expertise, I’m now capable of tackling complex 3D projects that I once thought were out of reach.
A pivotal aspect of this journey was learning to integrate my 2D skills with 3D tools, transforming my workflow and significantly elevating the quality of my work.

Cristian’s mentorship has been a cornerstone of my transition into the world of 3D, and I am incredibly grateful for his guidance and encouragement throughout the Intro to CG & VFX program.

I attended the CG Foundations mentorship with Cristian back in 2018.

At the time, I had just finished a basic 3D course, and having the opportunity to interact with such a qualified professional and learn the secrets and techniques used in real productions was incredibly valuable and educational.

Although the course with Cristian was brief, it allowed me to discover new productive approaches and develop a professional mindset, things that are unfortunately not taught in most “standard” school programs.

Extremely recommended!!!

I had the opportunity to join Cristian’s 30 day mentorship program with the goal of developing a complete portfolio piece. Coming from a background that already included university level 3D studies and two years of professional experience, I wasn’t looking for a basic introduction but for real industry direction from someone who actually works at a high level.

Cristian delivered exactly that. He was incredibly open in answering questions about the VFX industry, offering honest critiques, artistic guidance, and practical feedback grounded in real production standards. What made the experience truly valuable was his hands-on approach: he didn’t just point out what to improve, he literally went into my files to show me how to approach the work more effectively.
Throughout the mentorship he consistently emphasized how top tier studios operate: structured workflows, clear production phases, iterative development, and the ability to present progress to a client professionally. He taught me not only how to achieve a strong final result, but also how to work in a way that makes backtracking, revisions, and optimizations natural parts of the process.

This mentorship refined the way I think about my projects and gave me a clearer understanding of what “studio level” work really requires.
I’m genuinely grateful for Cristian’s guidance, his availability, and the depth of insight he provided during the entire journey.

The mentorship I did with Cristian was very useful to me.

Despite the fact that I'm a Motion Designer, studying with him helped me to better understand many aspects and fundamentals of CG that i was not aware of.
He also showed me some "lifesaving" hacks that helped me improve tremendously my working efficiency and therefore I now have more time to produce better results for my clients.

I also gained greater awareness of my skills and resources, but also of the ones available "out there" that I did not know before and I will definitely pursue.

Highly recommended!!!

I had the privilege of participating in Cristian’s mentorship.
As a self-taught 3D modeller, it’s always difficult to step outside your own bubble. You spend so much time studying and trying to improve, but you rarely receive real external feedback.

Cristian was essential in this process, helping me notice things I simply couldn’t see on my own.
Thanks to his experience, he offers not only an artistic perspective on how to approach your work, but, above all, a professional one.
With his patience, friendliness, and expertise, Cristian gives you the right tools to evaluate your work critically and understand how to achieve results using the fastest and most efficient industry-standard workflow.

I highly recommend this mentorship to anyone who wants to step out of their comfort zone, confront their weaknesses, and truly improve.

With an incredible amount of knowledge and experience under his belt, I was lucky enough to have Cristian as my mentor.

He didn’t just teach me the core foundations of CG and VFX, he guided me through modelling, texturing, and lookdev, from the fundamentals all the way to advanced techniques in Maya.

Cristian made the entire learning path clear, structured, and incredibly efficient. Thanks to his method and feedback, I now feel confident approaching any asset from start to finish, without hesitation.

Everything I’ve achieved so far in my journey as 3D Artist is thanks to his guidance.
