Today we kicked off a huge week at Envato (it’s our 3rd birthday soon, don’t you know?) with the launch of Phototuts+, our 8th site in the Tuts+ Network. There we’ll be covering everything from beginner to advanced photography tips and techniques, post-processing, lighting and how to use your equipment with expertise. If you’ve ever wished you could take nicer photos, or to bump your nice photos into professional-level territory, Phototuts+ was created to help you!

Today we’re pleased to introduce the newest member of the Tuts+ family: Cgtuts+. There we’ll be publishing tutorials and video training on software like Autodesk Maya and 3Ds Max, Maxon Cinema 4D, Blender, Zbrush and Mudbox. If you’ve ever wanted to freely learn how to create 3D animations, art or elements for games, now is the time to start!

We’ve launched with a massive 194 minute video training series on how to create art for current gen games. The tutorial was created by the site’s editor, Kaleb Aylsworth, who is currently working as an Environmental 3D Artist on BioShock 2 multiplayer – so he’s got plenty of knowledge and smarts to share!

Go on, open a new tab, check it out, leave a comment, then keep reading to learn more about our plans for the site.
