Happy 2025 Blenderheads!
May as well start the year off with a banger. There's been a growing resentment between large software companies and their customers and Adobe has copped a lot of the (usually deserved) flak.

🏦 How to dump a company (It's not me, it's you) 💔
One of my favourite animators, James Lee, recently dumped Adobe and took up a bunch of alternative software to create his animations with. Despite the rage dump, this is ultimately a love letter to the animation industry and a call for greater commitment to innovation and art:

💥VFX for 0.01% 💲
When I shared one of Erik's videos a couple of months ago I said this was a dude to watch and time is proving me right (he said smugly).
Erik's latest remake of an epic Star Wars shot is a fantastic watch and a demonstration of just what can be achieved with bugger all budget but a ton of skill. Although I have to say I think the most impressive part of the entire video is his standing backflip:

😄Signs you're doing just fine 🤑
This video feels a little out of place compared to the stuff I usually share. But it's the start of a new year and a time most people set goals for themselves. And as someone who has run my own business most of my working life, finances are a topic I love talking openly about - even if it's generally a taboo subject.
Hopefully though, this video will make you feel a little more comfortable about where you are financially. And spoiler - it's not just about finances 😉

All the best for 2025 everyone. And happy Blending.
Cheers,
Jamie Dunbar.

A beautifully animated shot, but it's the behind the scenes stuff that'll really make your jaw drop. The shear amount of layered details is what make makes this shot next level:

G'day Blenderheads! This is Jamie and I make 3D animation stuff.
My favourite part of 3D is creating characters, which is the focus of this channel. But that's not to say we won't make things explode from time to time.
With 15+ years in the 3D game, I'm here to share the tips, tricks and help you make cool stuff too.
If you'd like to support the channel, buy me a coffee!
