CGCUP
Presents a series of workshops on creating cg assets AND ARTWORKS for games and movies.

Each workshop is an interactive show with a host and a guest artist. Here, you will witness the creation of a complete artwork: from the idea to the final result.
We have prepared 22 workshops with artists from around the world for you to observe their pipelines in detail and grasp their ideas and thoughts.

At the core of each workshop lies complete improvisation. In each workshop, the guest artist will familiarize themselves with the brief, and then together with a host, they will discuss approaches to creating the artwork, demonstrating the whole process from idea to end result.

Up until February 24th, 2022, CGCUP was aimed at creating content that would encourage and motivate artists to keep improving. And to never give up, even in the face of an uphill struggle, instead meeting creative challenges head-on and always following their dreams.
OUR PLATFORM
WAS CREATED IN UKRAINE
CGCUP is part of the biggest CG school in Ukraine — ArtCraft Education, which has instructed more than 20,000 graduates! However, the full-scale invasion of russia into our country has limited our capabilities on the way towards the dream.
