Hello and Welcome to GFXZone - the ultimate demo scene graphics site!



3D Addict - founder:

The GFXZone (GFXZ) was born during late 1996 as a small section of a personal home page. The idea was to create a small demo scene graphics gallery, to show off some of the best scene art on the web. With time, GFXZone grew bigger and expanded from being a small gallery, to be the biggest demo scene graphics site on the net. What once consisted of few hundred kilobytes of pics, is now over 500Mb in size, providing not only galleries, but interviews with famous graphicians, gfx articles, scene related news and gfx archives. Our intentions are to continue on expanding and improving for as long as we enjoy it.

NdK - Main editor:

Early 1998 I first became involved with the GFXZone and Summer 2000 I accepted the job of main editor. For me personally the GFXZone is my way of contributing to the demoscene, or in other words, it is my way of giving something back to all of you! My goal is to make the GFXZone the most complete and highest quality webresource available on demoscene graphics. This will be a lot of work and I would not be able to do it without the rest of the team. If you want to help, please send me a mail soon. Stay tuned folks!

  how to join the GFXZone staff


We always welcome new staff members who are willing to contribute to GFXZ with their talents. We are currently looking for the following:
  • Journalist. Your main task will be to write articles and do interviews (on irc, via email or live) with famous and not so famous scene personalities (mostly graphicians).
  • Maintainer. We have various areas that need constant maintenance on the GFXZone. The people database, the links page, the poll, the forum or other areas can become your responsibility.
  • Graphics collector. Collect the graphics that can be shown on the GFXZone. This involves browsing ftp sites and contacting graphicians for their graphics.
Or maybe you have another idea to help us? Please contact us if you are interested in helping!


  Extra

In December 2001 3D Addict created a high quality GFXZone-themed wallpaper. The resolution is 1280x960 and the image shows a big demo-esque object set in a digital environment. As you might expect from the GFXZone, a couple of classic demoscene graphics have been used as well. The image also shows our URL and slogan. Download it here (1540KB).
