Hey Reader,
Zach here, with another round of useful and inspiring CG and Blender related resources.
β
βFantastic Student Workβ
This beautiful animation was created by Michal Zawadzki. He is one of our Cubic Worlds course students, and this is one of the most impressive course results I have seen so far. π
This is exactly why I created the course, to see what other people can imagine with the techniques and workflows I teach.

βImpressive βHuman Portrait βCourse Trailerβ
Kent Trammell just released a new course about creating realistic human portraits in Blender, he has worked on for the past two years. And the beautiful trailer alone already shows, how much time he put into this.
You can currently get the course with 25% discount here (affiliate link).

βVFX Workflow by Peter Franceβ
In this new tutorial, Peter France gives an overview of his solid VFX workflow, that he uses to combine real footage with CG elements. He mainly uses Blender, but also some After Effects.

Black Friday Discount Madness
Ok, it is the time of the year again, where everyone is throwing huge discounts at you. This can be a bit overwhelming. To help you a bit to decide, here are some of my favorite Blender courses that are discounted right now.
And just if you're wondering, since we had a big sale in October, we won't do anything for Black Friday etc.
β
βAll P2Design Courses 25% offβ
In order to get the amazing Blender character rigging and animation courses from Pierrick for 25% off, use the discount code: BF2021
β
βRigify Course 60% offβ
If you don't want to rig your characters from scratch, Rigify is a great add-on for Blender, that automates a lot of the process. Todor is showing you how all that works in his Rigify course, which you now ca get 60% off for 24 hours, by using the discount code: cgboost60
β
βAll Polygon Runway Courses 50% offβ
If you like isometric 3D art, Roman from Polygon Runway has the best courses. His courses are a bit more expensive, but right now he offers 50% discount, when using the code: BLACK50
Also, on the Blender Market there is a lot discounted right now, so check it out.
Please note, some links above are affiliate links.
All these huge discounts seems compelling, but still evaluate what you really need right now, to progress in your individual 3D journey.
Look at the projects you're working on and see if a course or an add-on can help you to speed up your work. If it is just something random that don't support you right now, better don't purchase it.β

That's it for this week, now enjoy your weekend and stay creative!
