Graphics Reference
In-Depth Information
CG Channel |
www.cgchannel.com/
This glossy site is dedicated to all forms of computer graphics. Besides provid-
ing news and interviews, it boasts a large and vital community that revolves around
its forums. The Cool Links forum allows registered users to post links to their own
sites or to others of interest, and then open them to critique and discussion. In addi-
tion, you'll find the CG Art portfolio area and a recruitment section with job listings.
CG Society |
www.cgsociety.org
The Society of Digital Artists runs this site, which is a hotbed of industry news,
articles, workshops, forums, and galleries. The forum is very light on the flaming and
heavy on useful feedback because they are moderated.
Gallery of 3D.com |
www.galleryof3d.com
Less glossy than some of the other sites devoted to the 3D community, this
site is exactly what its name implies. It displays member animations and 3D render-
ings. Anyone can become a member and post their work, but the site also profiles
some members and places a few in the Cream Gallery. Among the forums is one
(3Dartwork > Critique) dedicated to peer critiques.
InsideCG.com |
www.insidecg.com
The computer graphics community is full of enthusiasts, which may be why
there are so many good sites and forums for them. Industry focused, this site has a
large community following, in part because of a good jobs listing.
Flay.com |
flay.com
Flay has been around for, in Internet terms, a long time—since 1996. Similar
in format to other forum-based CG sites, Flay offers a particularly strong Jobs section
with the most recent (and most likely to still be unfilled), at the top.
Fine arts
Absolutearts.com and World Wide Arts Resources |
www.absolutearts.com
and wwar.com
This is a marketplace and portfolio site for fine artists. It offers a mailing list
of dealers and galleries for artists trying to get a show or representation, and it has a
large gallery and portfolio database. The basic portfolio of eight images is free. They
also offer a 40-image portfolio and a premier, juried version—a mind-boggling 3,000
images—for a yearly fee.
