🎬 5 Years in the Making - New Blender Short Film from SouthernShotty​
|
Zach here, Tomorrow, our friend SouthernShotty is premiering his new short film named "Watermelon Girl", created in Blender. I had the chance to watch the short-film upfront and can say it's quite delightful. I especially enjoyed the unique art style making everything look and feel as if it was handcrafted out of materials like wood, cardboard, strings etc. Fun fact(s): All the 200+ visuals of the short are created by only one person, on one computer, crafted in Blender. It took him 5 years to complete it. The short film premiers tomorrow, March 28th, at 3pm CET.

A stunning journey in the Watermelon Kingdom begins, with an art style inspired by hand-made arts and crafts. A quest to find a new home unfolds into a heartwarming tale, where Watermelon Girl discovers the true joy of giving and building community through helping those in need." Btw. SouthernShotty runs a little contest to find a hidden character in the short film, to win his Blender Market products (affiliate link) for free. Here is a short video explaining the contest. Excited to watch it again with you and everyone tomorrow. 🤩 ~Zach |

Hey Reader, Zach here, Have you ever struggled with getting your 3D character’s walking animation to look right? I know how hard it is without proper guidance. It’s easy to get lost in all those tiny details that matter and not be able to see what’s making it all go wrong. I’ve got something for you that can help you understand the walk cycle animation inside out. My friend Brian Kouhi (a professional animator and founder of ToAnimate) shared a full 1-hour-long lesson on making a walk cycle...
Hey Reader, Zach here, If you are struggling to find the motivation to learn 3D, or if you have abandoned projects and courses half way, you are most definitely not alone. In fact, I believe it is the most common struggle all artists go through. This also happened to Tetiana Markov, one of our passionate CG Boost students and challenge participants. We were very excited to interview her, to share her story of how she overcame all kinds of self-doubt and got her work featured on Blender Nation...
