Hi Creatives,
be sure to check also this short 8 minutes lesson, where I talk about the Cubes Contest here on Patreon. I hope some of you will take part in it;-).

Hi Patrons,
this is Part 1 of my new tutorials about Cubes. I just show you my workflow when it comes to selecting lights and materials. It´s a 43 minutes Beginners lesson. Next time we will build something a bit more complex:-).
NMaybe I could have made this lesson a bit shorter, I´m sorry for that. I was just in th emiddle of designing and tested different light setups...

Hi Creatives,
if you are interested to learn cool stuff for a full year for free, then this is the right contest for you.
The rules are simple:
- Use the attached free projectfile with the cool little cube sculpture.
- Keep it simple. It´s about finding interesting camera angles, compostions, colors and light setups (just delete my lights/cameras/materials and start from scratch). Of course you can use differ...

And here is the proof how much fun it is to just move around in such a scene (projectfile just posted) and search for good angles. This way, you can produce a massive amount of cool renders out of one scene and amaze your client (that´s what I did).
Hi Patrons,
let me provide you with a very special asset: It comes straight out of Houdini, because I have no idea how to produce these cube patterns ( based on on octree principle) in Cinema 4D.
I will give you this cool cube sculpture and then you can go crazy with it. Of course I will go with you through it + some basic techniques in the upcoming tutorial part 1.
We will use this file to study some design principles, a couple of materials and just have an...

Hi Patrons,
I am sorry for the little delay, but I needed to build a little bit more for this scene to make it really cool. As you can see... this first scene turned out a bit wild, but when you move the camera around, you will find beautiful shots everywhere.
So... let´s start "CUBES" Training tomorrow and I will share a lot of my thoughts about this topic with you.

Hi Patrons,
in October I will share a lot of crazy cube techniques;-). I am so excited to make tutorials again after an intense month of client work. See you soon!

Hi Patrons,
Just one more week of client work and then I will be back with full power on patreon.
See you soon!
Hi Friends,
thanks for your awesome support! I just wanted to reach out, because some of you forgot to share their paypal adress with me. I need this, to send you your additional discount:-).
Remember... when you subscribe for an anual subscription you get 16% directly and then afterwards additional 17% percent discount directly from me.
So everyone who decides (or have already decided) for an anual subscription since I started thi...

Hi Patrons,
First: Thanks for being with me! It´s such a pleasure to share stuff with you and maybe you recognized, that this month I am a bit shorter on patreon-content so far. I´m really sorry but I´m working on a really awesome client project this month but I promise that you will benefit from my knew knowledge soon:-).
My boss also allowed me to share some cool projectfiles directly out of production soon. Which is... just great! I´m sure you will love the...

Hi Patrons,
One more projectfile for the weekend. I studied a course on learnsquared which is called "design for production" in my research about "high-tech cubes" and I learned some useful techniques along the way.
Of course I gave it my own twist and went a bit crazy with the colors and lighting. Feel free to study my projectfile. Again, it´s simple stuff and when you go through it step by step you will see that it´s really no rocketscience.
I will be back with ...

Hi Patrons,
this setup is super simple but it´s just so useful when you want to create some additional grids around your cube artworks. Just move the field until you have something cool, that you want to add as an extra layer of detail around your cube setup.
Simple, but... very soon you will have something that looks super complex. It´s all about the tasteful application of quite easy techniques but in the end, it will look just awesome.
Best,...

Hi Patrons,
I´m working on a super cool client project right now and it´s all "cubes" related. I think, I´m allowed to say that.
Sadly I had to move my workstation over to my client, so my plan to record a new tutorial at the weekend will not work out;-). But just to bridge the time until the next tutorial, I want to provide you with some of my projectfiles regarding this topic.
I have a lot of output and test files at the moment and I think I just want t...

Hi Patrons,
thank you so much for your amazing support in August! That was one intense month and I get closer and closer towards my milestone of 300 patrons/month. Thank you for that.
This month I got booked for a very (very) cool project and I´m already learning amazing new techniques and workflows which I will share with you, as soon as I have time to record these lessons.
I hope I will be able to sit down on the weekend and share some stuff with you.
It´s al...

Hi Patrons,
I just took the time to go through 376 posts (!) here on 3dbonfire and put them into categories that make sense.
So... if you just want to see my tutorials, click on tutorials.
And by the way... I just recognized, I reached a milestone with 100 tutorials here on my patreon. That´s quite a good start, right? Anyway, I´m ready for the next 100 of course :-).
By the way, I started 3dbonfire 16 ...

This is my scenefile.
Note: The cloth is static because the whole alembic animation was just too big to share it. Also the Materials are not included, but for that just check the recent tutorials here on patreon. I will also go through my Material setup in the "extended" version of the Tutorial, which will be there soon.

Hi Patrons,
I just uploaded a new Tutorial and I have the feeling that you could love this one. It´s a short version for YouTube and I will upload a more detailed version soon just for my Patrons.
I wil also share my scenefiles in a separate post, so you can easily follow along.

Hi Patrons,
I was just playing with 3D garbage bags and I thought... maybe I could tell you how to do it. Aaron Covrett did a little talk about this topic once but I could go with you through the whole process. Just an idea.

Hi Patrons,
it´s already some time since my last discount promotion, thats why I´m gonna make you an offer you can´t refuse (of course you can but I always wanted to use this movie quote):
If you decide for an anual KNIGHTS or ENTHUSIAST Membership, you will get a 33% Discount which equals 4 free months here on 3DBONFIRE.
I know, this is a big step but if you wanna grow as a 3D Artist sometimes you have to invest and later it will pay back ...

I just wanted to let you know... content is obviously growing day by day and patreon just comes with a "blog-structure". To make it easier to quickly filter content I need to fix the search engine. Just be sure, that at the moment it´s not working as it should and I have to go through the whole content and assign clever search words to them.
Obviously not the most exciting task but I promise to fix this soon....
