[Resources] Beautiful Blender Short Film 🦎
Hey Reader,
Zach here, with another round of useful and inspiring CG and Blender related resources.
Fértil - Animated Short Film
What a lovely little short film, created by Felipe Del Rio, by using Blender and making use of Geometry Nodes, to simulate the rain and growing vegetation.
I love the calm feel of the short and the visuals are top notch.
Hum3D Car Render Challenge 2022
The 9th annual car render challenge hosted by Hum3D is live. All you need to do is to create a 3D car model, put it into a 3D environment and make a nice render of it. Then you get the chance to win some cool prizes.
The challenge ends December 8th, 2022.
I'm happy to be part of the judges again. Looking forward to seeing what you will create.
Generate seamless Textures in Blender with A.I. (Tutorial)
In this tutorial by askNK, you will learn how to use the free add-on "Dream Textures", to generate any seamless texture you can think of, directly in Blender. This can be a big time saver.
I hope these tools will also be able to generate other PBR maps from these images in the future.
HYDRA | Concept Motorcycle short film
Here is another visual stunning short made in Blender, by Andre Taylforth. It presents the concept motorcycle "HYDRA", which is design around begin powered by hydrogen.
The description said it was done in 1.5 weeks, which would be mind-blowing.
That's it for this week, now enjoy your weekend and stay creative!

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...
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 Martin’s challenge and his course prove - making awesome, grand scale landscapes in Blender is...
