Hello!
I made a free addon to improve some of my most used, time-consuming hotkeys! In this YouTube video I show you the process behind some of that.
I call this addon the Quick-Trigger Pie Menu (or QT-Pie 🥧 for short), and you can download it for free on my GitHub page: https://github.com/polyfjord/QT-Pie...

I've finally finished my new tutorial! I feel like I've been working on this on and off forever now, and now it's finally out!
In this video we're using the amazing Volume Scatter shader in Cycles to create some really detailed animated volumetric projectors!

In my preparations for my recent compositing tutorial I experimented with some different 3D tracked scenes for the final renders. So in this post I've put together a pack of 4K shots that have been 3D tracked and prepared for compositing in Blender!

Hey guys!
In this tutorial we'll be doing a fun, quick and dirty VFX compositing workflow! This effect is a borderline hack, and it's all about creating an infinite background plane, and then projecting our video texture onto that from the camera's POV. Then we'll do some clever tricks to get reflections working, because all refractions, contact shadows and even subtle caustics happens automatically!

Hello!
I've finally found a way to use only free and open source software to create a fully automated 3D tracking workflow! So in this video, you will learn how to download everything you need to get it up and running.
I think this is an extremely powerful and fun workflow, and I can't wait to see what you will create with this!!
Thanks for watching!

Hello!
Hope you're having a nice summer! ☀️
I just posted a new tutorial where we'll be creating an audio visualizer in Blender 4.5 using a 100% free workflow! We'll be using a free Blender extension I made, plus a powerful Geometry Nodes setup!
Link to the tutorial here: https://youtu.be/j5ycOqXH9m0

Hello!
In today's livestream we created this procedural grid transistion effect!
You can find the project files in the attachments of this post. The final result was rendered in half HD resolution, so I've also added a version that was upscaled with 2x Enhanced Superscale in DaVinci Resolve Studio 20.
Thanks for watching!

I've finally made a Blender tutorial again, and it feels very good! In this project, we'll be using Geometry Nodes to create a procedural emissive trail that follows an empty object. We'll be animating this empty object in real-time using the input from out mouse cursor 2D location. A fun and powerful technique that has many use cases!

Spoiler: This is shaping up to become one of the most exciting projects I've worked on in my life.
So far I have developed six unique audio visualizers for the course. I have also made two web apps (similar to my MIDI to SVG tool), and I'm working on a Blender add-on that I'm extremely excited about.

Hey guys! A year ago I made a video where I spent 100 hours on making a spaceship in Blender!
And I just realized I have completely forgotten to upload these project files to my Patreon! (It's only been on Gumroad until now).
So to celebrate the (almost) 1 year anniversary of this project I thought I'd convert the project file to Blender 4.2 and share it here as well.
