Hey Reader,
Zach here with another round of useful and inspiring CG and Blender related resources.

βAutofocus in Blender (Tutorial)β
Last week, I published a fun Blender tutorial, where we set up an autofocus camera and a lighting setup that automatically adjusts to the position of the camera. All that directly in the 3D viewport.
This gives you good reason to spend even more time staring at your half finished 3D models. π

βArcane Style in Blender (Tutorial)β
Here is a great 2-part tutorial series by Lightning Boy Studio, where they cover how to create a similar style as in the Arcane TV show.
In the first part they cover how to create hair, and in the second part, how to use camera projections, to get this distinct texture look.
β
βCinematic Lighting in Blenderβ
In the new tutorial by Polyfjord, you learn how he is lighting up most of his cinematic renders, that make his videos so special.
β
βCinematic Car Animation in Blenderβ
And another "cinematic" tutorial. Here, JeanYan Online, goes over the full workflow of creating a cinematic car animation in Blender.
This tutorial has also a second part, which you can watch here.

That's it for this week, I will be off for one week now, to enjoy some free time with my family. Of course, the CG Boost team is still here to answer your questions.

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...
Hey Reader, Zach here, For the past 6 years, our tutor Martin Klekner has been hard at work, exploring all the possible ways to create epic 3D environments in Blender. As a personal challenge, he tried it without the use of any paid add-ons, the results of all his research he accumulated in his Master 3D Environments in Blender course. 3D scenes you learn to create in the environment course. As Martinβs challenge and his course prove - making awesome, grand scale landscapes in Blender is...
Hey Reader, Zach here, You might know the fear of a blank 3D scene. Finding yourself just staring at the Default Cube in Blender and not knowing how to get to an amazing cinematic animation that you imagined. Youβre not alone. Our instructor Cov Phillips has just released a very scary (it's a horror animation) video about dealing with such obstacles on his YouTube channel. In this video, he shares his creative process and vital tips on structuring and finishing a large project, by breaking it...
