​Arcane: Bridging the Rift (Documentary)​

The animated TV show "Arcane" on Netflix is visually and animation-wise one of the most impressive shows I have seen in recent years.

If you are curious how it was made, there is a new behind the scenes documentary series online, that gives us a deeper look on how this show was pulled off.

Above you can check out the trailer, and currently there are three parts available on YouTube. You can check the first episode here.

Your task is to reimagine your favorite splash screen of Blender and upload it as a real-time scene to Sketchfab.

This is a great chance to meet all the nice Blender people in Amsterdam.
