Hey Reader,
Zach here, with another round of useful and inspiring CG and Blender related resources.
Blender used in Indian blockbuster “RRR”
\nIn this article, Pete Draper, CEO and Co-Founder of Makuta Visual Effects, shares some insights on how they used Blender during the production of the epic Indian blockbuster “RRR”.
Blender Car Rigging & Animation Course ($)
\nCG Cookie just released a new course, where you learn how to rig and animate a monster truck in Blender.
\nIf you want to rig and animate other cars, this knowledge can be applied to any vehicle.
\nKeep 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.
\nLearn more about the course here (affiliate link)
Creating Crowds in Blender (Breakdown)
\nBlender Bob gives some fun and useful insights on how CG crowds can be created for VFX shots in Blender.
After not taking place for two years, the Blender Conference is finally back. It will happen again in Amsterdam, from October 27th till 29th.
\nThis is the largest gathering of Blender artists, developers and contributors, this time in an even bigger venue, the Felix Meritis.
\nThere you can enjoy Blender presentations, or chat with all the nice Blender people.
\nI 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!
\n~Zach
