Where are all our creative weirdos? ๐
The curious ones. The experimenters. The ones who love trying new tools, pushing ideas further, and finding new ways to make cool stuff.
In the latest Behind the Render, @nickvegas and @cgpov talk about the future of creativity, how AI might change the way we work, and why there's room for all kinds of artists to find their own path.
And of course, why there's nothing better than seeing those creative weirdos get paid to do what they love.

You can almost hear the fire crackling. That means the lighting is doing its job. ๐ฅ
Beautiful holiday scenes by Prajwal Kumar, created with Holiday Workshop and Holiday Materials.
๐ก Artist tip: Try mixing the warm glow of the fireplace with the cooler ambient light from the room. That contrast helps the fire feel warm and gives the scene a little more depth.
Explore new Holiday Materials + Holiday Workshop models. We'll be over here enjoying the fireplace.

Not gonna sugar coat it. Actually, yes we are.
@cgpov turned a @kitbash3d mech into a giant Sour Patch-inspired gummy using the new Gumdrop material from the Greyscalegorilla Holiday Materials Collection.
Hereโs how he did it in Cinema 4D:
1. Bring a model from Cargo into a Volume Builder.
2. Use a Volume Mesher to turn it back into a mesh, then smooth it out.
3. Remesh it into a clean quad mesh for better displacement.
4. Apply the Gumdrop material and set the UV Context Projection node to Triplanar. No UVs needed.
5. Finish with a Greyscalegorilla Psych Wall and HDRI.
Now try it on any model in your library. Mechs, vehicles, buildings. If you can model it, you can sugar coat it.

Roll the dice. See what happens.
Fanny Rollot turns a single die into an ever-changing stream of objects in this playful Cinema 4D animation. Sometimes the best way back into a creative routine is to make something just because it's fun.
๐ก Artist tip: Start with one simple object. Repetition, timing, and a little controlled chaos can take it a long way.
A little eye candy for your next holiday render.
This batch of Holiday Materials is all about the sweet details: gold chocolate foil, chocolate crunch, sprinkles, frosting, waffle cone, gingerbread, and gumdrops.
Perfect for adding a little extra flavor to your holiday renders.
Make something delicious. https://t.co/2m391aRQJv
