Hi Friends,
Tomorrow is tutorial-day ;-).

This month it´s sadly just a little bit less content then usual, but I still try to give you some good value for your membership!
So tomorrow, I think it´s all about some project-managing techniques and professional folder-struct...

Hi Friends,
as I mentioned in the other post of today: I played around for too long with these shapes, that´s why the tutorial will be delayed until Monday 13th.

Hi Friends,
I totally forgot to share this projectfile. Just in case you want to see my settings for the cloth sim.
Materials/Lighting is not included, but I have tutorials for that here on my patreon, where I show you the lighting and materials.

Hi Friends,
in this lesson, I will share a really cool technique to get crazy detailed reflections/refractions in your glass materials and just... achieve a very beautiful and versatile look, that you can use in all sorts of projects.
I used this glass technique in multiple client projects and I´m always amazed, how easy it is to achieve amazing looking results.
( Important note: Adjust the "Specular Depth" in the octane settings,...

Hi Friends,
just a small preview for the first tutorial of March. Let´s freestyle a little bit to build abstract sculptures like these ones.

Lately I did hunderts of "shape explorations" for one of my clients, so I thought its a good idea to share some of these techniques with you.
You will learn how to make your client happy with how fast you can produce lots of variations in a short amount of time.
See you in March!

Markus

Hi -Patrons,
as an addition to the other "Chanel" cloth tutorial, I will also talk about these two examples in march.
(I shared a similar cloth simulation with you already, but in this lesson, I will focus more on shaders, lighting and artdirection).

Hi Patrons,
I kind of got a bit obsessed about these beautiful inflated cloth structures with amazing silk/satin shaders on top of it. Add some tasteful light into the mix and you get something really cool.
In one of the upcoming lessons in march, I will show teach you something about everything: sahders, lighting, cloth simulations, artdirection.
I´m curious! Which one is your favorite?

Let´s make these logos beautiful with some nice Octane shaders. The techniques are easily transferable to Redhsift shaders.

Hi Friends,
I managed to optimize the video quality of my tutorials;-), maybe you noticed that before... the bitrate and resolution was always a bit blurry. Well, I think these days are finally over. Now I record all my tutorials in 60fps and a 2560*1440 2K resolution, so everything should be nice and sharp.
PS: This is a short lesson about different simple Redshift Cloth Shaders.

Hi Friends,
just to let you know: The slight raise for the Tiers doesn´t affect existing Patrons.
So if you are already one of my patrons, nothing changes. (according to patreon).
Thank you very much for your support.
NOTE: An existing patron told me in the comments, that he was also affected by the raised tier pricing. That was not intended... Please write me a personal message, if you have the same issue...:-/
