Tippett Studio and Rising Sun Pictures gave life to some endearing CG stars for Charlotte’s Web. CGSociety talked to a few of the key artists about the methods they used, the troubles they faced, and the fun they had.
Have a peek into the world of Gez Fry. With a good dose of passion and talent, this Japan-based artist has managed to build an impressive list of clients, such as Nintendo, Namco, and Marvel. Read about what inspires him, while looking at a selection of his incredible images.
CGJobs already has over 150 positions on offer. If you haven't updated your CGPortfolio in a while now is a very good time! Welcome to Brickhouse VFX who are looking for a A 3D artist to work for MGM on the Science Fiction Television Show Stargate Atlantis.
CGSociety's latest Mini-Challenge pays homage to the king of motion picture special effects, Ray Harryhausen. As a kid, I remember being enthralled by his animated menagerie of monsters, dinosaurs and a sword-wielding skeletons. Now you can recreate Harryhausen's movie magic in the Hardcore Modelling Challenge #7: Ray Harryhausen Tribute.
Be a part of EXPOSÉ 5. Every year Ballistic Publishing produces this showcase of the year’s best digital art. With each book new digital stars emerge and are catapulted into the limelight. EXPOSÉ Master, Bobby Chiu, said it like this:
“In my list of things that turbo-boosted my career, winning a Master Award EXPOSÉ 3 is certainly at the top. EXPOSÉ 3 sold all over the world, helping to give me some international recognition. I’ve never had to look for work since; work has always found me. My dreams of being an independent artist started with EXPOSÉ 3. Now that I run my own studio and am in the position to bring other artists on board I always make sure that I get EXPOSÉ every year to scout out new talent.”

Ballistic Publishing’s free shipping offer is ending soon. We are offering free standard delivery for any Ballistic title purchased from the Ballistic publishing site.
Here is what a happy customer said about Exotique & Exotique 2:
“Just wanted to write and say thank you very much. I received my first two Ballistic art books today (Exotique & Exotique 2) after having only placed the order a week previously... You obviously take great pride in your publishing and indeed each book lives up to your claims of producing the very best art books. I am so pleased with them both that I have already placed a further order this evening for another three books spurred on by the fact that you are currently offering free shipping (quite an incentive considering the distance between us). Well done and thanks once again for an all round great service!”

As long as I can remember, I've been drawing. My parents lovingly indulged my maniacal thirst for pencils, crayons and markers with which I penned my epic doodles. view portfolio > |

"ZBrush has initiated a renaissance in Sculpture," says Geoff Campbell,
ILM Senior Digital Model Supervisor.
"It's the first and only sculpting software that gives the artist total
freedom to work creatively without the constraints of conventional modeling packages. It also eliminates the need to work with physically based maquettes because
it is, in effect, better than clay, more intuitive to use, and far more productive."
ZBrush 2 is available for both Windows and Macintosh. more > |
