[Resources] The perfect face and endless chairs? π€¨πͺ
Hey Reader,
Zach here, with another round of useful and inspiring CG and Blender related resources.
β
βThe Perfect Face?β
Chris Jones created another enjoyable video (I love the sound effects of his videos π
), where he mixes different faces of different races together, to find a "natural average" face. Read more on his process here.
β
βGeometry Nodes: Procedural Chairβ
Godwin Jimoh created another great example on what is possible with the Geometry Nodes in Blender. It is a procedural chair, that you can adjust into probably more than a thousand variants of chairs, benches and beds, with just a few sliders. This is actually a product which you can get here.
β
βSpaceship Blender Tutorialβ
Here is a cool tutorial by Stefeliga Flavius, showing you how you can turn a simple shape, into a giant looking spaceship with just a few textures, camera and lighting work.
β
βBlender Fluent Materializer Add-on (20% off)β
Rudy Michau, just published another useful add-on, that allows you to create and bake materials using procedural workflows (so no UV maps needed π).
It allows you to easily apply effects like edge wear, dirt, chipped paint, mud, scratches, and more.

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 characterβs walking animation to look right? I know how hard it is without proper guidance. Itβs easy to get lost in all those tiny details that matter and not be able to see whatβs making it all go wrong. Iβve 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 Martinβs challenge and his course prove - making awesome, grand scale landscapes in Blender is...
