How to Get Your Portfolio from the Defunct CGHub


It's hard to believe, but CGHub is gone. On April 13, Shakuro announced that CGHub.com is closed down.
No more CGHUB.

Sad day. Project CGHUB is officially closed.

The reason behind this extremely tough decision is personal and will remain private. It’s absolutely not connected with business or any kind of technical difficulties.
On behalf of development team I would like to apologize to CGHUB users and fans for abrupt project closure and delay with its announcement.
If you have any kind of questions please send them to cghub@shakuro.com . Can’t promise replies to everyone though.

CGHUB wasn’t ideal, but we loved it SO MUCH! :*(

Team Shakuro
So now what? The site was the premiere networking tool of countless artists and professionals. It will be heard to replace. Shakura is working on a new art community, but in the meanwhile you can get your artwork of the site with these simple steps.

1. Go to the Internet Wayback Machine archive.org/web

2. Put the URL in the Web section and push the button "Browse History."

3. Click on the most recent highlighted date and open the "snapshot."

4. Click on the "View All" and browse through the listing. Not all the images are archived unfortunately. You can use the timeline at the top to browse to different captures.

So do you have to download all the images one at a time? No. The key is a FireFox add-on called "DownThemAll!" After you install it you can right-click and download all the images on your page.

So that's it. Right now there's no way to recover the followers or contact lists. If we find another way to recover those then I'll share it.

Will you miss CGHub? What will you do to replace it?

  1. Its always hard when they shut these places down. They could have at least given people a chance to recover their work
