Exhibitions

Exhibition Title : SIGGRAPH Asia 2011

Introduction :  This is our first time attending at SIGGRAPH event. We managed to have a great representation of Persian CG Art and the talent and potential that lies in the community. The main sections of our exposure was about Individual Artworks, Interviews, Demo Reels and Trailers, Wall of Inspiration and many more. Fortunately we got an amazing feedback, do not hesitate to check a brief reportage of this event here.

Mission :  We defined our main mission to make the world "Trust" in Persian artists, which means if anytime, anywhere they heard of a Persian Digital Artist, they think of something of a quality. More our less we achieved what we were looking for as well as earning some powerful and useful links for our future events and plans.

Consequence :  As our very first appearance in such a big event beside the big companies, we did our best to promote the Art and Talent of our members. It is for sure that for the next event (SIGGRAPH 2012 Singapore) we will have a more potent representation.

Exhibition Title : Gamescom 2010

Introduction :  This is our first official appearance in an international Game Festival. The main objective of this activity for our community was to introduce the capability of Persian artists, and the great potential that the world is confronting, maybe without having enough awareness.

Mission :  CGart galleries and especially the Game Hero / Villain and the 3D Modeling for Game challenges made an amazing opportunity for Persian Game Industry to be able to perform ideas of 'outsourcing'. As a result, this appearance was mostly dedicated to Persian Artists who are active in Character Design, Modeling, Environment Modeling, Concept Art and other related topics, for they can attend in international projects and not only help the national industry, but also amplify the international advancement with their art.

Consequence :  The feedback we got from this event, made us plan a new service on CGjobs.ir website called "International Service" which soon will be launched and artists and employers can be connected, the way like national clients and artists are easily connected through this website at the moment.
