Hey Reader,

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

​Fantastic Student Work​

​

This beautiful animation was created by Michal Zawadzki. He is one of our Cubic Worlds course students, and this is one of the most impressive course results I have seen so far. 😍

This is exactly why I created the course, to see what other people can imagine with the techniques and workflows I teach.

​
Impressive ​Human Portrait ​Course Trailer​

​

Kent Trammell just released a new course about creating realistic human portraits in Blender, he has worked on for the past two years. And the beautiful trailer alone already shows, how much time he put into this.

You can currently get the course with 25% discount here (affiliate link).

​
​VFX Workflow by Peter France​

​

In this new tutorial, Peter France gives an overview of his solid VFX workflow, that he uses to combine real footage with CG elements. He mainly uses Blender, but also some After Effects.

Black Friday Discount Madness

Ok, it is the time of the year again, where everyone is throwing huge discounts at you. This can be a bit overwhelming. To help you a bit to decide, here are some of my favorite Blender courses that are discounted right now.

And just if you're wondering, since we had a big sale in October, we won't do anything for Black Friday etc.
​

​All P2Design Courses 25% off​

​

In order to get the amazing Blender character rigging and animation courses from Pierrick for 25% off, use the discount code: BF2021
​

​Rigify Course 60% off​

​

If you don't want to rig your characters from scratch, Rigify is a great add-on for Blender, that automates a lot of the process. Todor is showing you how all that works in his Rigify course, which you now ca get 60% off for 24 hours, by using the discount code: cgboost60

​

​All Polygon Runway Courses 50% off​

​

If you like isometric 3D art, Roman from Polygon Runway has the best courses. His courses are a bit more expensive, but right now he offers 50% discount, when using the code: BLACK50

Also, on the Blender Market there is a lot discounted right now, so check it out.

Please note, some links above are affiliate links.

All these huge discounts seems compelling, but still evaluate what you really need right now, to progress in your individual 3D journey.

Look at the projects you're working on and see if a course or an add-on can help you to speed up your work. If it is just something random that don't support you right now, better don't purchase it.​
​

That's it for this week, now enjoy your weekend and stay creative!

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...

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...
