🚀 [Update] New Free Trailer Breakdown + Special Cinematic Bundle Release
|
Zach here, The other day, in a CG Boost team meeting, we were discussing how platforms are oversaturated with content and images, which can make it feel like, what’s the point of making more content? Then Masha who has been on our team since the very beginning of CG Boost said: The reason I create art is to give life to my imagination. I like the process of thinking about an idea and fully bringing it to life. That encouraged me. Like a breath of fresh air, it was a great reminder that simply imagining and creating is a beautifully integral part of our human experience, even if the world now feels “saturated” with art. I’d argue that a good chunk of it isn’t of real value, which is all the more opportunity to make something that is actual art and enriching for peoples lives. Today, I have two new updates for you about cinematic storytelling and compositing in Blender. ​Introducing the CG Boost Cinematic Bundle​There are two, often overlooked skills in 3D, that can boost your creativity and work by ~80%. It's that bit of magic that we immediately notice is missing, but find it hard to put our mouses on. They are:

The best thing, this video is free to watch for everyone. In the breakdown video, Martin covers:
