We added a new section about creating a stormy ocean to the Master 3D Environments in Blender course.

The first part of this section uses the Ocean modifier to simulate the stormy waves. Then we employ Dynamic Paint to capture proximity data and allow spray particles to be emitted only from the highest portions of the waves.

The last lesson breaks down the rendering and compositing process.

These new lessons added almost 30 minutes of new content to chapter 11!

Here are the 3 new lessons of chapter 11:

• Stormy Ocean Waves
• Stormy Ocean Spray
• Stormy Ocean Compositing

In this new tutorial, you learn how to set up an autofocus camera and a lighting setup that automatically adjusts to the position of the camera, for extra 3D viewport fun.

In this Resources email, Zach Reinhardt shares another round of useful and inspiring CG and Blender related resources.

This time let's have a look at a super realistic face created in Blender, some new Blender tutorials and more.

We added the second full chapter of the "Epic Creature" sculpting exercise, with 11 new videos and a running time of ~1.5 hours, to our Master 3D Sculpting in Blender course.

In this new chapter, you will learn how to add the fine details to the creature. Here we will use the default sculpting tools, masking techniques but also brush textures to add high resolution details like scales and skin.

Additionally, you will learn how to create your own custom brush textures from 3D data and 2D photos.

Check out the chapter introduction video to learn more.

Here are the NEW lessons of chapter 9:

• 9.1 - Chapter Introduction
• 9.2 - Preparation
• 9.3 - Basic Head Details
• 9.4 - Basic Body Details
• 9.5 - Scales with Masks
• 9.6 - Scales with Alphas
• 9.7 - Skin Details - Part 1
• 9.8 - Skin Details - Part 2
• 9.9 - Tongue
• 9.10 - Custom Alphas from 3D Objects
• 9.11 - Custom Alphas from 2D Photos

We also UPDATED the Download Section of the course, where the new chapter is now included:

• Download the new chapter

Next we will work on the "Epic Creature Shading" chapter, where you will learn how to color the creature. We don't have a release date yet, but it will be at some point in 2022. Stay tuned!

Time to finish up the new Geometry Nodes chapter of the Master 3D Environments in Blender course! In the last few videos, you will learn some extra Geometry Node techniques, including creating a dynamic fence, using proximity data to scale nearby objects and more. Rendering and compositing lesson is of course a must!

With that, Chapter 17 is now complete, featuring 1 hour of new content!

Here are the 3 new lessons of chapter 17:

• 17.9 - Proximity Scattering
• 17.10 - Rendering and Compositing
• 17.11 - Bonus: Dynamic Fence

In this new tutorial, you will learn a full retopology workflow in Blender 3.0+, using only free tools and add-ons shipped with Blender by default.
