Best Black Friday and winter 2021 discounts for CG artists
Main image: Adobe Stock
As 2021’s Black Friday, Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday sales begin, we’ve rounded up the best deals for CG artists. Whether you work in VFX, animation, motion graphics or arch viz, there’s something for you.
We’ve included hardware if it’s CG-related – like monitors and workstations – along with resources like 3D models, characters and plants, and textures, HDRIs and photographic cutouts.
To keep the list manageable, we aren’t covering training or online rendering.
Where possible, we’ve listed deals direct from the developers, but at the foot of the story, you can find a few via resellers, including deals on PFTrack and RealFlow for US readers.
This year’s deals include Adobe software, Affinity Photo and Designer, Clarisse iFX, Corel Painter, EmberGen, iClone, NVIDIA Studio laptops, and the Substance 3D Collection.
Deals added on 24 November include: Clip Studio Paint, Maxwell and RealFlow; Dell, HP and Lenovo graphics workstations; Huion, Wacom and XP-Pen pen displays and graphics tablets.
Deals added on 26 November include: 3DCoat, 3ds Max, Corona Renderer, Maya, OctaneRender, Phoenix, RealityCapture, RE:Vision Effects plugins, RizomUV, Substance 3D software perpetual licences, V-Ray, Wrap.
Updated 29 November: We’ve updated our list with over 100 deals for Cyber Monday 2021 and beyond.
Updated 22 December: We’ve updated again with deals for Christmas 2021 and the New Year, including Marmoset Toolbag, Marvelous Designer, PlantFactory, Vue and ZBrush. To jump to them, click here.
