Two new lessons have landed in chapter 10 of the Master 3D Environments in Blender course! This time, you will learn how to create, shade and animate a cool Aurora Borealis element for your Blender scenes!
The best thing is, it is all just simple geometry and nodes in the Shader Editor. Anyone who's already gone through chapter 5 and 6 of the course will surely find the workflow familiar.
Here are the NEW lessons of Chapter 10:
The first 7 lessons have just landed in chapter 10 of Master 3D Environments in Blender! That means 42 minutes of new tutorial content.
In it, we will be focusing on creating a polar landscape filled with tree particles. For the landscape we will use techniques and assets we already created in chapter 4 and 8. If you did not go through those lessons, don't worry, you can just download all the assets from chapter 10 project files appended to the lessons.
A very important part of the chapter is a workflow to convert your 3D trees into 2D particles on planes. That will significantly speed up rendering and allow for thousands and even millions of tree in your scenes.
Here are the NEW lessons of Chapter 10:
Next week, you can expect new lessons detailing how to create the colorful Aurora Borealis on the scene's sky...
Chapter 4 "Cute Creature Base Sculpting" of the Master 3D Sculpting in Blender course update is now complete.
We're continuing the Blender 2.9+ update for our Blender sculpting course. This time we added 6 new lessons to chapter 4, and we also added the download section of this chapter.
In this chapter you'll learn how to create the base sculpting of the cute creature, which is the first milestone in the creation process and will be continued in the next chapters.
We will continue adding more content soon, with the next chapter about retopology.
Here are the NEWlessons of chapter 4:

We're continuing the Blender 2.9+ update for our Blender sculpting course. This time we added 5 new lessons to the new chapter 4 "Cute Creature Base Sculpting", in which you will learn how to create the base mesh for the creature.

In our new YouTube video, Zach Reinhardt shares a full Blender creature sculpting workflow, including base mesh creation, sculpting techniques, auto-retopology, posing and more.
In this newinterview we talk with Jesse Amiel D. Gayanilo, the 1st place winner of the CG Boost Snow Creature Challenge from Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines.
He will give us some insights of his journey as CG Artist and a look behind the scenes of his winning artwork.
We added a new translucent water lesson and some terrain pieces to download and displace to the Master 3D Environments in Blender course.
One of the water types that is very popular in the world of CG landscapes, is that wonderful translucent water, with white sand peaking through, surrounding beautiful tropical islands.
Well, that's exactly what you'll learn to make in this new lesson: 11.13 - Translucent Water in Cycles
Apart from the island terrain piece, all students now get access to several terrain pieces to download and fill your landscape scenes with.
You will learn how to do that in chapter 8, where in the new lesson "8.8 - More Terrain Pieces" you will now find a gallery of other terrain textures and displacement. Use them freely in your projects. 🙂
We updated our Blender Hotkey Sheet PDF to reflect the changes in the new stable version of Blender 2.92. 🧾
You can sign up here for free to get it (email required), or just login to your CG Boost Academy account if you have signed up already, and download it.
