You can almost hear the fire crackling. That means the lighting is doing its job. 🔥 Beautiful holiday scenes by Prajwal Kumar, created with Holiday Workshop and Holiday Materials. 💡 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. #greyscalegorilla #holiday #3dart #3dmodels #3dmaterials

AI has us feeling a lot of things. Sometimes all in the same week. @cgpov talks about the back-and-forth of feeling excited about what's possible one day, and worried about what it all means for artists the next. In the latest episode of Behind the Render, @nickvegas and Chad talk about the concerns, opportunities, and big questions surrounding AI in the 3D industry, plus some of the ways they're already experimenting with it.

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. Here’s 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. 💡 Artist tip: Start with one simple object. Repetition, timing, and a little controlled chaos can take it a long way.

This render is on fire 🔥 In the latest Behind the Render, Nick and Chad walk through the new tools, including Redshift Light Manager for managing your scene lights and Snoot for controlling exactly where your light falls.
