Yeah I'm plugging my brother's site again and for good reason, actually a couple of good reasons. 1 - He's my brother, 2 - He's got mad modeling skills and 3- He just re-launched his new site, and now it's loaded with even more kinds of awesome. Epic gallery, WIPS, Tutorials and more. So do him a solid and check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Yes I do tutorials for them, but that's not the only reason I'm listing it in here. Over the years, I've spent as much time as anyone scouring the web for good tutorials and they're not easy to find. Cgtuts has a great selection of tutorials for pretty much every software package out there, and most of them are authored by professional artists (myself not included) and they're free!

Geared at video game art, these forums are another great place to shoot the shit and get help and advice on your work. Another thing I like about this site is that it's a little more laid back then some of the others. Lot's of laughs can be found there.

Galleries, Tutorials, Contests, Forums and more.

Go here for all things Zbrushy.

THEAREA

For user's of Autodesk software, 3D Studio Max, Maya, Softimage, Mudbox etc...

Industry News, Galleries, Interviews, Forums, Competitions and Product Reviews. This community site has pretty much everything your greedy ass wants.

These Forums are geared toward video game art, hence the name...

Stay in the know, with in depth articles, news and behind the scenes info on the FX of your favorite movies with this kick ass online mag.

Galleries, Tutorials and forums...oh my! They also offer a free downloadable monthly magazine that's always loaded with tons of good shit.

Another pretty good place to find all kind of GC related stuff. This site has Articles, Interviews, Reviews, Making of's, Galleries, Tutorials, 3D Models and loads of other stuff.

The big name when it comes to training content. They offer training for a wide variety of software packages, all authored by industry professionals.

Another part of the Gnomon machine, this site offers cheap downloadable training videos and assets by industry pros.

Learn next gen game making techniques from professional game artist (and recently announced Autodesk Master) Riki Babington and co. with these dvds.

Really great training dvds. They offer detailed, step by step training for most software packages. In my opinion, they're a lot more user friendly and easy to follow, then say Gnomon dvds, especially for the noobs out there. Check out their new on demand subscription service and say goodbye to sleep, showers, your girlfriend, wife and or mistress and pretty much just life in general.

High end training materials mainly geared towards the compositing side of things. I'm pretty sure they were the first company to offer a video on demand service for online training, which was a great idea.

Started by industry veteran David Weinstein, this new comer looks to give Gnomon a run for it's money. They offer professional training materials as well as personal feedback from industry pros. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

This handy little script for 3ds Max 9 will add a whole side bar full of useful tools to 3ds Max's Unwrap UVW modifier. I've been using it for years and it's a real time saver. Highly recommended!

As the name suggests this sweet little script will let you scatter grass, rocks, hair and custom objects around in Max's viewports, using a brush based painting system.

Tons of useful scripts for 3D Studio Max users.

Lots of free Studio Max plugins for all versions.

Blur studios (Masters of the video game cinematic) have opened up their beta tools once again, go here to download a bunch of cool scripts for 3dsmax and XSI.
