Creative Development Week11:CGSociety

Who are they?

CGSociety are an organisation known globally and respected for their support of creative digital artists. CGSociety offer support to all digital artists by providing services to support the artists, ranging from creating and sharing work to discovering jobs available within your country and speciality area.

What services they provide?

CGSociety provide an online portfolio allowing for all digital artists to create their own online portfolio and have an online forum alongside to post questions and queries on others and own work. This gives other digital artists to give feedback as well as solutions to problems about your work. With feedback CGSociety also provides tutorials for you to develop your skills and workload to speed up certain processes and unlock new abilities. As well as tutorials, CGSociety have an online workshop which will help in your development and get straight to the point in key areas such as modelling, UV mapping and so on, with key areas in which are needed for certain job specifications and CGSociety also have listings of available jobs in certain digital areas.

How it's relevant to you?

The services that CGSociety provide are relevant to me as they allow me to build on my current skills, along with expanding my range of tools to aid in work flow. Also relevant to me is that CGSociety work on digital artists ranging from 3D modelling and concept artist providing me with a directed road to follow when focusing on either 3D modelling and concept art, which will enable feedback from both areas by other digital artists.

What are the benefits of aligning yourself with them joining/ paying for membership/subscribing to newsletters/ attending networking events?

The benefits of aligning myself with CGSociety is that there is a wide aspect of knowledge for free users with payed membership being given more benefits. The benefit of free knowledge from forums is there is already a large community of digital artists who are open to viewing and giving feedback on other peoples work. The tutorials and workshops aren't from amateur digital artists but well known and experienced artists who have worked with large companies.
