Blender Conference 2015. October 22-25, Amsterdam

Hey fellow blenderheads, I’ll speak at Blender Conference 2015. My talk that is called “How to Create Awesome Lighting Using Blender”. I will share what I learned while working on my book about lighting.

Will you go?

Leave your comment below and let me know your plans.

3 Blender Tips

And here’s some useful tips that I shared on Facebook, Twitter and Medium.

Posters and other swag for the Creative Shrimp Store

When I first printed Zeppelins, it revealed some important things to me. The main thing is that colors appear a whole lot differently on print. I know that seams obvious, but still I’m a bit surprized by the richness of the blacks

And moreover, now I need to fix the format to fit into exact dimensions of A2 (and A3).

That said, I’m working on the enhanced edition of Zeppelins, and I’m sure you will be very excited when you see it in super high definition.

3 Useful Links

Here are 3 useful links for you.

Ronen Bekerman – if you are into architectural visualization, this website is just what you need to get ahead in archviz. Ronen is constantly posting top-notch making ofs, case studies and jaw-dropping architectural renders.

Archive 3d – huge archive with free architectural models. As simple as it sounds, no hidden shit. Though, most of the models are in 3DS and GSM formats, so you will need to convert them to OBJ (if you want to bring them into Blender).

In the end, it’s totally worth it.

Adaptive Samples – visit Greg Zaal’s blog to learn some very intricate Blender tricks, and to download free goodies like panoramic interior HDRi. Greg, thank you so much!

Still, the main question for today is, are you planning to go to Blender Conference?

The post What Have You Missed This Week? (Hint: 3 Useful Links, 3 Tips and my Blender Conference plans) appeared first on Creative Shrimp.

1. Visit Blender Conference 2015

Yep, I’ll talk at Blender Conference 2015 about Open Lighting Project.

Here are a few articles if you want to take a look once again.

Night Lighting Tutorial for Those Who Love Traveling at Night

4 Reasons Why All-Devouring Fog is Actually an Amazing Thing (And a Massive Creative Force)

3 Simple Steps to Creating Super Dramatic Lighting (By Colliding Different Emotions)

I’m yet to decide with a precise name of a talk. Maybe something like: “How to Create Awesome Lighting using Blender?”. 

2. Open a Store on Creative Shrimp

I plan to open the store with art prints (and framed prints too!), posters and other goodies here on Creative Shrimp.

I’m inspired by other artists who do it, such as Joey Camacho. I think that passive income is the way to go for me too.

Question of the Day: What products would you like to see in the store?

Join the discussion and let me hear your thoughts.
