5 bucks. You spend that at Starbucks on something you piss out a few hours later. Give that to Blender instead if you use it for anything. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvB4...

Getting closer to final lighting - pretty simple lighting, compositing nodes doing a lot of heavy lifting for the basic look. I am considering a few different passes for more paint work. #blender3d #animation #shortfilm #3dartist

Any artists out there getting any value out of this platform lately? I am considering another Kickstarter campaign sometime soon and want to know whether or not this place is a ghost town or not because everything feels that way lately.

Blender animated short with some rough sound design. Getting closer, and I know many people think of sound last, but I'm trying to push that forward in the workflow. #blender3D #animation #shortfilm
