🚀 [Resources] Spooky Blender Short + Smoke VFX Tutorial + More 3D News
|
We’re back with new inspiration and resources from the 3D world. Today we have something just right for the season: a fun spooky Blender animation! Next we’ll share a smoke sim tutorial by Jim Morren, an EEVEE lighting tutorial from Gleb Alexandrov, and an Autumn Sale by Blender Secrets. But before we jump in, let us remind you that it is: The Last Day of Our Birthday Sale!If you’re thinking of joining one of our courses or course bundles, now is the last chance to make use of our Birthday Sale discount. We only do such a big sale once a year. To get a 20% discount on the courses or a 10% discount on any bundle, just use the coupon code HBD26 at checkout. Cut From the Dead - Funny Spooky AnimationThis animation has lain buried underground for over a year, until we discovered it at this year’s Suzanne Awards competition. It tells a spooky but very funny story about friendship. It starts just like any ghost/vampire tale, but it ends with a nice surprise (which we won’t spoil for you). Find out by watching it yourself. 🎃👻 Boo! Creating Smoke VFX in Blender VS EmberGenIn this next breakdown episode of our Blender Launch Pad 2 Trailer, Jim shares his smoke simulation workflow in Blender and EmberGen (which he used in the end to speed up the workflow). Good-looking smoke simulations can be quite complex, but Jim shows you the most important factors you need to handle. Whether you intend to stick with pure Blender or dive into supplementary software like EmberGen, Jim’s video is a great jumpstart (not to mention it’s just fun to watch). Interior Lighting in EEVEE with Gleb AlexandrovThe season may be dark as a dungeon, but luckily here comes Gleb Alexandrov to save the day by letting some sunshine in! He shared his EEVEE cinematic lighting secrets in this 20+ minute tutorial, a part of his great Cinematic Lighting Course (affiliate link). Blender Secrets Autumn SaleLastly, Jan from Blender Secrets is also running an Autumn Sale of his e-book, courses, and bundles. You can get some of them at really big discounts (up to 55%).
