The New Home of the Design and Visualization Community
Evolving from the CGarchitect community, CGconnect is a new creative hub for architects and visualization professionals. The platform empowers members to build meaningful connections, sharpen skills, and showcase their work.
Building on more than two decades of architectural visualization leadership, CGconnect carries forward a legacy that helped define the AEC industry. Designed as the ultimate creative hub, it bridges talent, industry, and opportunity to empower the next generation of architects and visualizational professionals.
Software-agnostic and free to join, the newly launched platform supports artists, designers, and architects around the world. It enables members to improve visualization workflows, develop world-class portfolios, and grow professional connections across disciplines and regions.
“CGconnect is a place for creatives to explore ideas, inspire one another, and grow together,” said Nikos Nikolopoulos, Founder & Creative Director at Creative Lighting. “With so much happening around the world, having valuable information in one place is essential. By combining our knowledge and expertise, great things can happen.”
New Features Designed to Facilitate Collaboration and Learning
CGconnect was built to support every stage of the creative and professional journey, making it easier for members to collaborate, learn, and advance their careers.
New community challenges keep ideas flowing, while the legendary 3D Awards continue to celebrate excellence in visualizations. Industry discussions are now centralized, merging the CGarchitect Forum with the Chaos Forum to create a single hub for industry knowledge.
The platform also introduces a new Learn section featuring curated content and high-quality professional resources, including exclusive tutorials and Chaos Academy courses. Advanced search and filtering tools allow users to quickly find relevant content, companies, and artists, while an enhanced gallery provides a refined, intuitive way to showcase portfolios and creative projects.
“CGconnect is a fantastic addition to the industry, fostering a community-first environment that supports artists, studios, and designers worldwide, regardless of the tools they use,” says Mengyi Fan, Director of Visualization at SHoP Architects. “It’s more important than ever to be with other people facing the same challenges as you and to discover solutions together.”
Nikolopoulous and Fan are among a group of experienced artists and designers designated as Community Heroes on CGconnect. They serve as mentors, and provide exclusive content, webinars, and live shows to help guide the next generation of design professionals.
