# Introducing CGconnect: The home of the design and visualization community
Summary:
*This article provides an overview of the newly launched CGconnect, a hub for the design and visualization community to share knowledge, foster deeper collaboration, and help shape the future of visual design.*
CGarchitect has been the home to the visualization community for over two decades. An online platform for professionals and [students](https://blog.chaos.com/making-real-time-rendering-easier-than-ever-for-students-and-educators?hsLang=en), it was a place where careers began, the standard for recognition was established, and inspiration was found among peers.
Today, it gets even better. 🙌
The launch of CGconnect marks the beginning of a new chapter for the community. With a new and enhanced space, CGconnect reflects the ever-evolving industry and the commitment to supporting [artists](https://blog.chaos.com/brand-archviz?hsLang=en) and designers with tools that grow alongside them.
[](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6852391/740516dd-4407-4832-a7ed-eb61cf08274b)
## What is CGconnect?
CGconnect is the evolution of CGarchitect. It’s an expansion on not only the name but also its vision: building the ultimate hub to bridge talent, industry, and opportunity.
The CGconnect vision:
- **A Home for All**: We are welcoming *all* fronts of visualization, including architectural design. We know visualization is more than just a final marketing asset—it is a powerful tool that helps architects and designers refine their work.
- **Software Agnostic**: Whether you use V-Ray, Enscape, Unreal Engine, Blender, or any other tool, you are welcome. We are a community-first platform, and our sole interest is to nurture artists and studios, designers and architects worldwide.
- **Free for Everyone**: There are no hidden fees and no subscriptions. The membership and every feature on CGconnect are free. Always.
## What does CGconnect offer?
CGconnect offers support for every stage of your creative and professional journey, from creating a [portfolio](https://blog.chaos.com/architecture-portfolio-tips-for-using-3d-renderings?hsLang=en) to showcase your work to providing learning content to help you upskill. Here's what you can expect:
- **Your portfolio, upgraded**: We have enhanced the gallery and portfolio experience to make your work shine. *Rest assured: all your existing content from CGarchitect has been safely migrated and is waiting for you.*
- **Connect & communicate**: Our improved messaging system now allows you to communicate freely with other users, fostering real connections between real people.
- **Find what you need**: New, powerful search functionalities allow you to find specific content, companies, and artists with ease using advanced filters.
- Learn & grow: The new ‘Learn’ section features the best curated content from the internet, exclusive tutorials, and official [Chaos Academy](https://blog.chaos.com/introducing-chaos-academy?hsLang=en) courses.
- **Community heroes**: We are introducing a group of experienced artists and designers who will serve as mentors, providing exclusive content, webinars, and live shows to guide the next generation.
### Community activities
- 3D Awards: The [3D Awards](https://blog.chaos.com/21st-cgarchitect-3d-awards?hsLang=en) recognize top talent in architectural visualization, celebrating artistry and technical excellence. It will continue stronger than ever.
- **Community Challenges**: The spirit of community remains at the core, with a new competition series to keep your creative muscles active.
- Forum: The Forum is being merged with the [Chaos Forum](https://forums.chaos.com/) to create a single, central hub for industry knowledge. All existing content and discussions from the CGarchitect forum will remain visible and accessible on the forum.
