I was wonder how many of us have an account and portfolio with the CG Society as well as here?

I have recently singed up for one (ChrisMoss, is my logon), and took the great free portfolio. Its worth getting its easy to use and will take images up to and including 1600x1600 or a main image and thumbnails of 80x80.

So whoelse floats around the CG Society?

I've set up a portfolio but not posted anything on yet! Want to try and get my work up to standard before posting anything.

Yup, I have the full membership too. Its worth it as you get some good deals and discount there for books and software. I bought Zbrush from them, it was still cheaper than getting it from Pixologic themselves

I used to hate the place but it seems alot of the idiots have disbanded and moved to the another well known 3d site. You have some good people there moderating and giving advice, Steve Stahlberg, Kris 'Antropus' Costa, Jason Schleifer (not sure now) and also Leigh Van Der Byl (Top Female Texture artist)

You CAN do a free portfolio there, but you wont get the discounts etc, you'll still get your stuff seen

Yeah I understand. Its probably worth hanging around in the WiP section there too, the level of work is of a high standard.

i have a free portfolio but dont have alont on it (pbarnes)

however 1 thing is that every1's work over there is way above industry standard which is slightly off putting to me but is nice to see

Now at SMU doing BSc 3D Computer Animation so its hard to get on here

I wouldnt say its above industry standard, as standards are always high anyway, its just the standard of the artists there, most who work in the industry anyway.
