Blender Car Rigging & Animation Course ($)

CG Cookie just released a new course, where you learn how to rig and animate a monster truck in Blender.

If you want to rig and animate other cars, this knowledge can be applied to any vehicle.

Keep in mind, that this is not a modeling course, so you will start with a ready-made monster truck model, and focus on rigging and animating it.

After not taking place for two years, the Blender Conference is finally back. It will happen again in Amsterdam, from October 27th till 29th.

This is the largest gathering of Blender artists, developers and contributors, this time in an even bigger venue, the Felix Meritis.

There you can enjoy Blender presentations, or chat with all the nice Blender people.

I already ordered my ticket, so hope to see some of you there. 😃

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