CGDive Academy FAQ

What is CGDive Academy?

CGDive is a tutorial website and a YouTube channel focused on (but not limited to) Rigging and Animation in Blender.

The CGDive Academy aims to bring all of CGDive’s content in one place and present it in the best possible way to facilitate focused learning.

Some courses are marked as "FREE". What does that mean?

“FREE” courses are free! 🙂

You can access them free of charge. They are a nice way to test the CGDive Academy Platform without spending any money. 

Also note that almost all “★Exclusive” and “♥️Premium” courses contain Free chapters. (usually, the first 2 or 3 videos are accessible for free)

Some courses are marked as "★Exclusive". What does that mean?

“★ Exclusive” courses are Advanced CGDive courses that are only available for purchase or through a subscription to CGDive Academy. 

You will not find these tutorials for free on YouTube or other platforms.

Some courses are marked as "♥️ YouTube Premium". What does that mean?

“♥️Premium” courses mainly contain videos that are available for free on YouTube.

However, watching them on CGDive Academy has important benefits:

  • no ads, no distractions
  • related downloads are readily available
  • bonus content such as progress files
  • premium support if you get stuck in a video. I can no longer reply to all YouTube comments but I have an obligation to reply on Academy! 
What do I get when I subscribe to CGDive Academy?

With a subscription to CGDive Academy, you get:

  • Full access to ALL “★Exclusive” and “♥️Premium” courses and content for the duration of your subscription
  • Rent-to-Own Credits which you can use to buy permanent access to courses even if you decide to end your subscription.
What are Rent-to-Own Credits?

Rent-to-Own Credits ensure that the money you spend on a subscription keeps its value. 

For each Subscription period, you get a certain amount of credits. The exact amount is displayed on the Subscription page.

You can use your Credits to buy permanent access to courses even if you decide to end your subscription.

IMPORTANT

  • The value of Credits is equal to US Dollars. E.g. 5 Credits = $5 (USD). 
  • Credits do not expire while you are subscribed. They roll over and add up with each period, as long as you stay subscribed to CGDive Academy.
  • Credits do expire 3 months after you end your subscription. Therefore, it is recommended that you use any remaining credits if you decide to unsubscribe.
  • Credits can be used to get a partial discount. E.g. if you have 6 credits and want to purchase something that costs $10, you can use 6 credits + $4.
  • the Rent-to-Own system is not automated on the platform. Therefore, you will have to contact me and I will set things up for you!
