CG Cookie - Blender Tutorials

May 11th 2020

CG Cookie launched September 2008 as idea to create a digital artists place to go for news, tutorials and fellowship. After gaining experiences from previous sunset projects: x4artists and CG Underground, CG Cookie was the project that happened to be in the right place at the right time with the right people. 🍪

It's also where I met my co-founder, and now good friend Jonathan Williamson. Since then CG Cookie, Jonathan and I have spawned of several other projects as we both share the insatiable urge to create and solve problems.

Originally built as a Wordpress blog site, it's since seen more than six different massive iterations. Growing to a team of 14+ across three countries, 11 states and six timezones. (100% Remote) The latest iterations of CG Cookie said farewell to Wordpress with the help of Nick Haskins, CG Cookie employee, Mavenseed partner and good friend.

CG Cookie today, is a fully custo Ruby app. With a flourishing Bender community behind it. A crew of amazing people creating content and helping out members each and every day.
