[Resources] Mind Blowing Geometry Nodes Demo 🤯
Hey Reader,
Zach here with another round of useful and inspiring CG and Blender related resources.
Stunning Geometry Nodes Showcase
Blenderesse has put together a stunning reel showing some of his latest Blender Geometry Nodes research projects. This is a great summary on showing how versatile Geometry Nodes are.
Personally, I just dipped my toes into it, but seeing something like this makes me want to dive deeper into it asap.
Artist Interview with Tom Doizy
A new CG Boost challenge winner interview is online. This time we talk with Tom Doizy, the 1st place winner of the Monster in the Closet Challenge from La Réunion.
He will give us some insights of his journey as a CG Artist and a look behind the scenes of his winning artwork.
And btw. if you are wondering where the next challenge is, we are doing a challenge break for at least a month, since we are working on some improvements for the challenge.
Principles of Animation in Blender
Pierrick Picaut summarizes important principles of animation and vocabulary that you should know about, when diving into character animation in Blender or even other tools.
If you want to dive into character rigging and animation in Blender, Pierrick has some of the best courses (affiliate link) in this field.
LEGO Spider-Man vs Rhino Animation
I recently came across this stunning LEGO Spider-Man animation by Calvin Brown, created in Blender. The sound design might not be perfect, but the visuals and animations look like they are straight out of one of the LEGO animation movies.
That's it for this week, now enjoy your weekend and stay creative!

P.S. Martin has published more lessons to his newly added Geometry Nodes chapter for his Master 3D Environments in Blender course.

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...
