CGFeeds

Over the past couple years my friend Victor Soto and I played around with the idea of creating a blog based on a mailinglist we created. Every week Victor would create a list of links to websites and posts on forums we came across related to the CG industry. I would then help organize them, create some thumbnails and we would send them out to coworkers at Sony. These were also shared with our friends at Sigil and some other studios.

A few months ago, Freshlab Creative offered to host a website that would take the place of our mailinglist, and also be more accessible to everyone. Our design goal was to keep it very simple and focus on the links. We wanted to make sure there were RSS feeds for each category. We also developed a Yahoo "Widget" that lets you preview the latest posts including the associated thumbnails, conveniently on your desktop. A few meetings and mockups later, CGFeeds went live.

Our intention is to have an outlet to share some inspiring art and news with anyone that is interested. If you get a chance, please check the website out. We hope you enjoy.

Thanks to Alberto Torres from Freshlab Creative for all the help with the code, and Brian Cowan for helping with the Yahoo Widget!
