Hold the bar
CG Lounge curates for production-ready VFX. One tap per item says whether it meets the bar — not a review, not public, just a private signal that sorts the feed.
What The Cut is for
CG Lounge is a curated premium VFX marketplace. The Cut lets the community collectively hold that standard — one tap at a time, no reviews, no public score.
The question
Pass, Solid, or Premium. One tap per item judges whether the work meets CG Lounge's bar for production-ready VFX.
Private quality signal
No per-item score ever appears publicly, no message to the creator. Your calls quietly sort what rises and what sinks in browsing.
A side badge for calibrated taste
Scout at 25 calls · Tastemaker at 100 · Curator at 300. Earned by making calls that align with the community — layered next to your existing rank.
The Cut is not a review system. It's a quality filter — your calls never appear on individual items, never reach creators, never appear on your profile.
