Frequently asked questions
Another question? Write to us at contact@cgfield.com.
What is CGfield?
CGfield is a software suite for 3D artists and animation and VFX studios. Its three apps prepare, organise and animate your assets in Houdini, Maya, 3ds Max and Blender, and the launcher installs and updates them.
Which applications are included?
Everything prepares models and materials. AssetBrowser organises your libraries of models, surfaces and HDRIs and places assets in Houdini, Maya, 3ds Max and Blender, where an HDRI lands as the lighting. Animated adds wind to vegetation.
Can I start for free?
Yes, with a free account and no bank card. The Discovery plan lets you use all three applications and includes one trial export, a single one for the whole account, shared by Everything, AssetBrowser and Animated. Requesting the same asset again does not count a second time. Paid plans offer unlimited exports. See the Pricing page for the offers.
On how many machines can I use it?
1 machine with Discovery or Pro, 5 with Studio. You can view and manage your machines from your account.
Do my assets go to a server?
Your models and textures are processed on your machine. CGfield uses online services for accounts, licences, quotas and updates; see the privacy policy for details.
See all questions
Which system does it run on?
The desktop apps run on 64-bit Windows. There is no macOS or Linux version yet. You can view the website presentations in a recent browser.
Which files can I drop in?
Everything accepts files, folders and ZIP archives, including FBX, OBJ, glTF/GLB, Alembic, USD and Blender. Keep textures with their models; some formats require the original software.
Which libraries are recognised?
Everything recognises folders from Quixel Megascans, Maxtree, KitBash3D, Globe Plants, SpeedTree, Textures.com, ambientCG and Poly Haven, Sketchfab models and your own folders. AssetBrowser also browses Poly Haven HDRIs and downloads them into your library. Material recognition depends on the files and textures provided.
What comes out at the end?
Depending on your settings: Houdini, Maya, 3ds Max or Blender scenes, USD components or exchange files. USD is optional; choose the outputs suited to your software.
Which render engines are handled?
Karma through MaterialX, Arnold, V-Ray and Cycles in Blender, depending on the selected output. The corresponding engine must be installed to render.
Do I need to stay online?
The licence can remain valid offline for up to 14 days after renewal. The free plan’s trial export needs a connection: it is checked on our servers.
Can I try it before installing anything?
Yes. The website demos let you explore the interfaces without installing the launcher. Conversions and exports shown there are simulated; install the Windows apps to process your own files.
