🎬 5 Years in the Making - New Blender Short Film from SouthernShotty​
|
Zach here, Tomorrow, our friend SouthernShotty is premiering his new short film named "Watermelon Girl", created in Blender. I had the chance to watch the short-film upfront and can say it's quite delightful. I especially enjoyed the unique art style making everything look and feel as if it was handcrafted out of materials like wood, cardboard, strings etc. Fun fact(s): All the 200+ visuals of the short are created by only one person, on one computer, crafted in Blender. It took him 5 years to complete it. The short film premiers tomorrow, March 28th, at 3pm CET. Click the link below, there you can enable the reminder to get a notification, shortly before it premieres. ​Click here for the YouTube Premiere Link​ Here is how SouthernShotty summarizes the story: "The short tells the story of a girl born from a watermelon seed in a departed king's stomach. A stunning journey in the Watermelon Kingdom begins, with an art style inspired by hand-made arts and crafts. A quest to find a new home unfolds into a heartwarming tale, where Watermelon Girl discovers the true joy of giving and building community through helping those in need." Btw. SouthernShotty runs a little contest to find a hidden character in the short film, to win his Blender Market products (affiliate link) for free. Here is a short video explaining the contest. Excited to watch it again with you and everyone tomorrow. 🤩 ~Zach |

Hey Reader, Alan here, I help manage CG Boost. Today I want to share a second, more personal newsletter with you. Last week, I wrote about making art for the sake of art, and about not automatically following the more deconstructive trends in 3D. If you missed that one, you can read it by clicking here. This time, I want to talk about something many of my 3D artist friends (myself included) ran into when a creative hobby slowly started turning into something more serious. My career started as...
Hey Reader, Alan here, I help manage CG Boost. It's our Christmas/holiday break at CG Boost, I wanted to write you a thought piece. My goal with this email is to give you a bit of breathing room and maybe help you make a few wise choices on your creative artistic path. I want to start at the end by making two suggestions. Nothing too dramatic, but two clear ways, I invite you to be a bit of a rebel as a 3D artist. Rebellion Suggestion #1 Say no to hustle culture more often. When was the last...
