Finally SUBSCRIBTION BILLING for new Patrons!

"Patrons are charged on the day they join your membership, and then monthly on that same date. For example, if a patron joins on the 10th, they’ll be charged on that day, and then monthly on the 10th. All patrons who joined before your switch to subscription billing continue to be charged on the 1st of each month."

Thats good news for new Patrons, because they won´t be charged twice in their first month when they join after the 1st.

Working on a Tutorial about the new Softbodies

Just wanted to give you a little preview of what you can expect this week:-)

Let´s build a Laser (in Redshift) Part 2: Mograph Setup

Recording a Tutorial about Lasers in Redshift right now

Hi Patrons,

I am working on this tutorial right now and wanted to show you some results already.

Volumentric Fog + Animated Lasers Tutortial in October

Hi Patrons,

I would love to share some new knowledge, that I learned for a recent job soon.

But this one... is made with Redshift. It just wasn´t possible to get a good effect with Octane in the current version and that´s why I needed to learn Redshift. 

And what can I say... Redshift is really awesome, when it comes to rendering Volumes/volumetric-Fog. I think for that usecase, it´s juse a way better option at the moment. But overal...

The easy Way to create Cardboards

Hi Patrons,

this is a little tutorial about the basic techniques that you need to create realistic cardboards.

(Of course the next step would be build a nice material and set up some beautiful lighting.)

Sharing some insights about "Cardboards"

Hi Patrons,

I talked about this topic some time ago, so I thought that I should record at least a little lesson about it now;-). Tutorial will be there in a second.

Hi Friends,

some really old projectfiles  aren´t available anymore sadly. They were about some X-Particles Techniques but I´m pretty sure most of them are a bit outdated.

And here is the free download code

I will share the complete projectfile with you in the next post. It comes with some simple textures that I created especially for this illustration.

It comes with quite a lot of modular assets to play with and I created some cool artworks with it already. I even got booked by clients for these marble run animations after creating this kit;-).
