New article this week! We're going back to basics. The render engine is one of the most fundamental parts of any 3D pipeline, and also one of the least explained. So I explained it. Fair warning: Christopher Columbus did not make it out unscathed. 3dartist.substack.com/p/wtf-is-a-r...

Testing out @adobe.com Illustrator beta's new Turntable feature that allows you to rotate your illustration like it's 3D! I had to test it out with Gus the Pug and...WOW! 🤯🤯🤯 You can try it out today by downloading the Illustrator Beta and going to the Object → Turntable.

Tried out some of the stickiness settings in new #C4D @maxonvfx.bsky.social liquids to see if I could cook up some mitarashi dango! 🍡 I'll be hosting a workshop on how to get started using #Cinema4D Liquids tomorrow on an exclusive @schoolofmotion.bsky.social All Access livestream! See you there!

Your best ideas don’t come when you’re staring at your screen. They show up when you finally look away. A reminder: rest isn’t a luxury. It’s part of the work. Full piece on why stepping away matters: 3dartist.substack.com/p/do-less-to...

Lot of people were confused on how to still use Quixel Bridge with Cinema4D/Redshift, so I put together a step by step guide on how to properly have everything set up so that you can still use it even with your own custom assets as well. Shouts to @eyedesyn.com for the RS Tip 🤙🏿 youtu.be/WZXAjWWJ4n8

At the 2025 Academy Awards, Flow—made in Blender—beat Inside Out 2 and The Wild Robot for Best Animated Feature. A huge moment for open-source tools. But Flow’s victory isn’t just a technical win—it’s something bigger. Full breakdown here: 🔗 3dartist.substack.com/p/how-flow-b...

Blender didn’t win the Oscar—vision, efficiency, and storytelling did. Here’s why that matters.

Really enjoying #3Dsculpting in ⁦@nomadsculpt.com, they just added Inflate and Polish global effects recently! Also digging the post FX. Get that 32 bit video game look! Having fun modeling this lil tanuki/raccoon. Have you messed with Nomad Sculpt at all?

Still buzzing with inspiration from my trip to Japan last year. So many desserts, so little time! Here’s a taiyaki I sculpted in @nomadsculpt.com (I love their tube object tool, works a lot like a #C4D sweep object) and then imported into @maxonvfx.bsky.social and rendered in Redshift!

Just started messing around with @womp3d.bsky.social and I gotta say it’s one of the most fun 3D modeling experiences! Highly recommend for anyone who is intimidated by #3D to give this a spin! And they just added the ability to 3D print your creations so I’m excited to try that out next!
