Best Little Site you didn't know about! - 3DAllusions

TheAllusionist · #1 (**permalink**) 03-25-2005, 04:08 AM

I wanted to start a thread where people posted great little sites that the average person didn't know about. We can then vote on the site we like best in an ongoing discussion.

Below I will link the site that I think of when pure talent in small packages arises. This site kind of gave me the inspiration to start this site. I thought what is cooler than a smaller community with unbelievable talent where quality outweighs quantity. So I started out by contacting some very talented artist and the site has slowly grown and has attracted some great people!

The site that brought this all to mind is Spiraloid and it deals with digital sculpting and character creation. It doesn't really relate to the subject matter we focus on here, in the past when I checked out the forums and the WIP's, I couldn't help but think that almost every member was a 'Master of Their Craft':

So share with us your candidate for 'Best Little Site you didn't know about'!

This site doesn't necessarily fall under small, but it does fit in with the topic of best. Terrific work at this site specializing in Matte paintings.

Here is anawesome websit that I go to for inspiration from time to time. http://www.themeny.com.

Check out the awesome demo reel. Great soundtrack and the best stuff I think I have ever seen. I have the demo reel saved to my desktop. He might be someone to contact for a possible interview session. What do you think?

Allusionist, that is a wonderful site that you posted. Simply amazing work.

That is a wicked site and they are very talented. It is very cool that they have a 'making of' for each piece. Very nice. You should enter it in the links page under the appropriate artist page.

I don't know how active this site is anymore, but it is a huge gallery of terrific CG artwork, mainly 3D stuff. The galleries are huge and a lot of the work is superb: http://www.3dshop.com/
