Buggy Vehicle rendered in Blender by Petri Saari and Tony Kihlberg. You won't find this kind of materiality and physicality in AI generated imagery.

Our first bundle is live. Two of our Blender lighting courses. Cycles and EEVEE. Taken by 6k+ Blender artists (bonkers!). All up to date - for Blender 5.x 👇

As a follow up to the coming superhive updates, we've now managed to get some clarifications from the @superhivemarket team.

In short, this won't affect us here at @ShrimpCreative, we'll carry on doing what we do, no extra payments down the line required! 😀

[AidyBurrows @AidyBurrows3D]

There's a bit of concern surrounding the superhive proposed changes.

Here's where @gleb_alexandrov & I are at with it at the mo'.

Firstly it's still in flux, we received the following from superhive earlier after we voiced some concerns (I can elaborate on that in a moment)

[Gleb Alexandrov @gleb_alexandrov]

Cinematic Lighting is special for me. It was our first *big* lighting course. It was a pleasure to revisit it after these years.

[Gleb Alexandrov @gleb_alexandrov]

Hey everyone, new tutorial! How to Light 3D Portraits in Blender. Full article and a video. 4 levels of difficulty: from one light to full cinematic rig. Many lighting theory nuggets to be found #b3d

THICK 3d bees in DP 1.3 particle gen #b3d

[Gleb Alexandrov @gleb_alexandrov]

Having hard time setting up particles in Blender? Try Dust Particles+ 1.3. If you're worried about nodes and stuff: you don't need to know *anything* about #geonodes - it just works.

@_cgman_ @HugoCGuerra Yay! we're here.

3d Birbs in Dust Particles v1.3 #b3d

[Gleb Alexandrov @gleb_alexandrov]

Now it's v1.3 and at least five times faster. Feels good to enhance these things due to newer, more optimal algorithms and tools.

[Gleb Alexandrov @gleb_alexandrov]

Flocks, by the means of motion-aligned 3d particles following the contours of 3d noise-based motion.
#b3d

[Gleb Alexandrov @gleb_alexandrov]

Everyone, big news! We completely rewrote the core rendering logic of Dust Particles+, switching to points with virtual UV mapping instead of 2d sprites. Expect *massive* performance gains for both the Free and Pro versions (5-10x!).
Thanks to @specoolar for expertise!

I’m using Blender

[Gleb Alexandrov @gleb_alexandrov]

Remember that monastery dungeon corridor in the original Cinematic Lighting? The only chapter dedicated to EEVEE?

In Remaster, we re-recorded it from scratch and now it's more realistic than ever, due to all these new shiny EEVEE features.

#b3d

[Gleb Alexandrov @gleb_alexandrov]

Everyone, we have finally merged a quantum particles accelerator 😭 (aka new sprite rendering logic) into Dust Particles+. V1.3 now uses a *much* more optimal Blender point primitives with virtual UV mapping instead of camera-oriented planes.

[Adrian Regalado | Looking for work @AdrianRegaladoN]

I wanted to push the 3d base on this one using just EEVEE. @gleb_alexandrov EEVEE course was very helpful for this
