Blender Market

The Blender Market was created to empower indie artists & developers using the software we all love. We are all Blenderheads who eat, sleep and bleed Blender and our goal is to give our community a trusted platform for making a living with Blender. Launched by CG Cookie in 2014, the Blender Market is a place where Blender artists are able to elevate their passion for Blender into a career. Our vision was to create a sustainable and stable environment for developers & artists, allowing them to get paid for doing what they love creating custom tools, and incentivizing them to deliver assets and add-ons that are invaluable to the community.

CG Cookie

We create brilliant training for animation artists and game developers. With streaming videos made by a team of VFX and game addicts, we teach 3D based on open-source software Blender, and game development based on Unity. Our goal is to teach digital art the right way: focusing on WHY rather than just showing HOW.

With tutors who are not anonymous droids but real humans who respond to emails and say hi via live stream, and an incredibly supportive global community of 1000s of artists working towards their dreams, CG Cookie is the most fun alternative to a traditional art school (minus the tuition loans).
