New tutorial live! Ghost w/ cloth sim (file below)

Hey everyone thanks for being here and sorry it's been so long. Getting back on the saddle with some exciting new stuff. Here's a fun lighthearted one to kick off the season!

The finalized file (as seen on IG/beginning of tutorial) is what is below. It features some more "finesse" and is the result of an extra hour or so of work after I stopped recording to get things nice and polished. You may have to re-bake.

Shapeshifting Tutorial Questions

Hey Patrons -- thanks for being you. You are awesome.

I am putting together the "shapeshifting cookware" tutorial now and I am curious about what you're curious about!

What do you want to see covered in this? I was planning on just talking about the shape key effect mostly, but could also touch on the smoke effect a little and maybe some texturing and sound effects?

I would say the most "magical" part of this is really just the shape keys and how to work wi...

GRASS CAR TUTORIAL FILE

Here's the file from the intro (slightly improved over what we had at the very end of tutorial) which includes updated wavy grass, camera motion, and textured car. Swap that texture out with your own name and go show people how good you are at Blender.

Shapeshifting Cookware animation file

Hey folks sorry it's been so long since I put out a video but thank you all so much for your dedication. As a special treat I'm going to release this file to you. If you haven't seen it yet, check my IG! I will do a breakdown on youtube soon along with some other new videos I have in mind.

There is a smoke simulation in it that would need to be baked on your own machine (long bake time!!!!) but the most interesting thing here I think is the use of shape keys. I hope you enjoy it!

Escalator tutorial file

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is having a nice holiday season and is excited for the new year! I am working on some new tutorial ideas now.

Thank you for your patience!

Okay so I feel so bad about how long it has been since the last tutorial but the new one is almost done. We'll be creating a phone ad in EEVEE. Here is the phone model we will create, sharing the file early with you guys. Full file will have lighting, animation, etc.

Play around with it and let me know what you think! I am still working on the animation section so please feel free to leave any suggestions and they might make it in!

What should my next tutorial be?

Hey Patrons! Thanks a bunch for joining up. I've always got a big list of tutorial ideas but can never seem to pick what I should work on next. I figure maybe you all should have a say in it!

Psiloncraft (who is the only champ sitting in the $5 tier!) recommended doing a lower thirds animation idea (like my little subscribe and IG tags that pop up, or like you'd see introducing something in a documentary/interview.) I really like that idea.

If I did that one -- what wo...
