Good day fellow Audionauts
I am curious, if I ask what website would be equivalent to AudioZ but for graphic and video plugins ?
What is the website that comes to mind ? Any direct download sites, similar to Audioz ?
Thank you in advance for those that chime in.

 

Great question, I've often wondered the same. It's not hard to find sites offering such plugins but they're invariably dodgy.

 

Please, write only names, no links in the answers.

 

There is no site equivalent to AudioZ in any area of existence.

 

Gfxnews comes to mind, gfxnews is now part of audionews, but that´s torrent site and a private one. Never heard gfx direct link site, but I wouldn´t be surprised, if there was one

 

CGPeers is my go to but currently it's invite only.

 

Never could find anything like AZ. I'm not torrenting, so I got no idea how it looks in that sector.

I'm often finding stuff at "SCloud". You can find a lot of software there, they got decent graphics/multimedia directories. Many portable versions. When I'm grabbing stuff from there I always try to find some infos about the releaser. No problems so far, but did only install maybe 5 to 10 things from there.

"vfxmed" is more specific for 3D/Video/VideoFX and so on. Not a lot experience with that site. They have an open invite to their public discord server. So I guess it's a trusted resource, don't think any cheater would invite you to a public discord

"thehouseofportable" has many graphics/video portables, all the Adobe stuff and so on.

Those three are often the ones I'm looking at first when I'm searching for graphic/video softz.

 

Hopefully I'm doing it right...

CG Persia - has a friendly an helpful forum (and better download links), similar to this one.
GFX Domain

As mentioned CGPersia and CGPeers, also Audionews has offshoot GFXNews.

 

Found Photoshop on thehouseofportable, fast download links, scanned as safe with malwarebytes pro, works fine.

Now I can finally fix my ear.

 

Surely would like an invite

 

yuuup cgpersia .

grabbed Synthetik's Studio Artist from there years ago and eventually bought it.
theres a lot of interesting stuff that pops up there from steam and itch,io for game dev and beyond.

the elusive watercolor and ink drawing software i look for at cg pretty often .
black ink was a good find there

 

The break down.
