You may have noticed that Cgtuts+ has been posting more Premium content over the last few months, but what exactly is Premium, how does it differ from normal content and, more importantly, how do you get your hands on it?! Well today I’m going to give you a behind the scenes look at the Tuts+ Premium system, and I’m sure you’ll love what you see!
What is Premium?
Premium content takes our regular tutorials to the next level…
Whilst we always aim to publish exciting, professional content 5 days a week here on Cgtuts+, occasionally we find a tutorial or a texture pack that simply blows us away. Whether it’s from an author well established in their specific field, or from an extremely competent artist, Premium content takes our regular tutorials to the next level, providing full scene files, references and footage; not to mention hours and hours of video training! It’s something we’re all very proud of at Tuts+ and today I’m going to show you why.
The Premium Content
Cgtuts+ is relatively new to the Premium system, but our Premium content library is growing every week, with 4 amazing Premium tutorials or files being posted every month. And we have some awesome content lined up for our Premium members!
But if you sign up today, what exactly will you find? Well Cgtuts+ has already published some AMAZING Premium content for you to view or download immediately, such as :
Ben Tate’s In-Depth Mac-10 Submachine-Gun Tutorial for 3Ds Max
Follow professional CG artist and Cgtuts+ regular, Ben Tate, as he demonstrates his entire process of modeling, UV mapping and texturing an extremely high quality Mac-10 submachine gun.
Madhan_2005′s Bugatti Veyron Modeling tutorial for Maya
Over the course of this extremely detailed 2 day tutorial series, Madhan_2005 walks us through how he modeled the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 in Maya. Not only does he cover the basic workflows involved in creating a hyper-realistic car from scratch, but he also takes a look at some of the more common mistakes that artists are prone to make when modelling extremely high-end photo-realistic cars. A very popular tutorial here on Premium!
Alvaro Castaneda’s ‘The Skateshop’ tutorial for PFTrack, After Effects & Maya
An unmissable tutorial for anyone looking to get into VFX, this detailed 3-day Premium tutorial series shows us one possible set-extention/integration workflow, moving from PFTrack for tracking, to Maya for modelling, texturing and rendering, and then finally to Maya Composite to put together the final result!
But it’s not just Cgtuts+! In addition to the awesome tutorials available as part of Cgtuts+ Premium, when you sign up you also get access to all of the premium tutorials from the rest of the Tuts+ sites! In total, that’s currently a staggering 374 tutorials and 841 source files – and that figure is rising every day!
So how much does all of this cost? You can sign up to Premium today for only $9 a month!
That’s just $9 to get instant access to all of the tutorials we have available! $9! That’s 374 tutorials, 841 source files and exclusive content for about the price of a single movie ticket! Or if you’d prefer, you could choose to pay just $22 for 3 months (saving $5), or $78 for an entire year (a saving of $30!) And if for any reason you decided it’s not for you, you’ll get a full refund if you let us know in your first month. We cannot say fairer than that!
Signing up for Premium allows you to show your support for both Cgtuts+ and the Tuts+ network
Need one more reason to sign up?
In a word, support. Signing up for Premium, even if only for a month, allows you to show your support for both Cgtuts+ and the Tuts+ network, which in turn allows us to spend a little more on making sure we can provide you with better and better tutorials. I have big plans for both the free and paid tutorials on Cgtuts+, and essentially, the more Premium subscribers we get, the easier it becomes for us to ensure it happens! Now don’t worry, there will always be incredible free tutorials, but if you can sign up, we think you’ll really love it!
So, why not give it a go!
