We added the third full chapter of the "Epic Creature" sculpting exercise, with 21 new videos and a running time of ~3.5 hours, to our Master 3D Sculpting in Blender course.
In this new chapter, you will learn how to texture the creature. We will UV unwrap the model, bake different texture maps, texture paint the base color and add fine details to the skin in the shader editor.
Additionally, we will make use of UDIMs to increase the texture resolution and create semi-realistic eyes for the creature.
Here are the newlessons of chapter 10:
We also Updatedthe Download Section of the course, where the new chapter is now included:
Next we will work on the "Epic Creature Presentation" chapter, where you will learn how to add a simple rig to the creature, and create some nice renders. We don't have a release date yet, but it will be at some point in 2022. Stay tuned!

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:
