The CG Challenges, run on CG Society (CGNetworks/CGTalk) forums, are testament to the desire of digital artists to better their skills and prove their mettle to peers. To capture the efforts of the CG Community in a medium that will survive beyond their Web beginnings, Ballistic Publishing presents Grand Space Opera, the second in the series of CG Challenge books that document the online Challenges with a mix of techniques and galleries of images.

The online CGChallenges are the single most focussed community-building activity that Ballistic Publishing and The CG Society (CGNetworks/CGTalk) undertakes. The proceeds from the CGChallenge book sales go directly back into funding the running of further challenges. The Challenge books provide an invaluable teaching resource and a stunning visual record of the best work.
