Hi everyone,
I hope you're well!
I've been asked a lot recently about my journey as a 3D artist, advice I would give, freelancing tips etc. So I was thinking about doing a Q&A this month (alongside the other content I have planned), and I wanted to gauge if that is something you'd...

In this video, we look at modelling and texturing this vase in Cinema 4D and Redshift!
We will create a completely procedural model and material, diving into modelling techniques, and for the material, maxon noises, vertex maps and other material parameters.
Excited to share this one ...

In this months video, we will look at modelling and texturing this vase, with a bit of a 'freestyle' approach to texturing, so that you can see my thought process behind texturing, as well as how I overcome hurdles along the way.
Hope to see you there!

In this video, we will be looking at the new particles system and how we can use it to create this dripping wax effect.
This was really fun to dive into and I hope you will think the same.
I'd love to hear below what everyone thinks of the new particle system. There's still so much to...

In the final part of this tutorial series, we finish off the label and lid texturing for our wine bottle, and then create a scene to show it off in all its glory.
We will go over more texturing, lighting, some redshift post-fx, and of course, rendering!
I hope you have all really enjo...

In Part 2 of this Bottle workflow, we dive into RizomUV to look at UV Unwrapping our bottle in order for us to add details later on in the process.
Make sure to watch all the way through as I added an extra part near the end to help you achieve even cleaner UVs.
Hope you enjoy!
