CGCookie - CORE | Fundamentals of Texturing in Blender
Texturing adds essential details and realism to 3D models, making them look more lifelike and interesting. With just shaders and plain materials, your models might feel flat or incomplete.The process of texturing involves applying images or procedural textures to 3D models to add detailed surface qualities like color and patterns. This process enhances the visual appeal of models by simulating intricate details and materials without adding extra geometry. Without effective texturing, achieving visually compelling and realistic results is challenging, as textures play a crucial role in bringing depth and character to your 3D projects. In this course, you'll dive into the essentials of texturing, from using shader nodes and unwrapping your models to painting and creating textures. You’ll learn to add realism with PBR techniques and get hands-on with procedural and hand-painted textures. By the end, you’ll master the complete texturing workflow and apply your skills to a final project, bringing your 3D models to life with incredible detail and creativity.

CGCookie - CORE | Fundamentals of Rigging in Blender
Rigging is the art of building the deformation structure and controls to articulate your 3d models. Rigging can be really complicated, so it's best to start at the start and go step by step. If your goal is to just learn enough to make that character you move - this is the course for you. If your goal is to learn to build super complicated rigs - this course is for you. Building a solid understanding of the fundamentals will help you achieve both of those goals.

CGCookie - CORE | Fundamentals of Digital Sculpting in Blender
You may be familiar with Mesh Modeling as the primary method of forming 3D shapes with Blender. But did you know Blender also offers 3D sculpting? Where mesh modeling can be a bit more like carpentry, sculpting offers a more artistically intuitive shape-forming approach - like being a kid again, building with digital clay! We designed this course for beginner sculptors. If you've never picked up a digital sculpting brush, you're in the right place! As the 3rd iteration of this course, the curriculum benefits from a decade of student results, feedback and suggestions. Beginners can trust this curriculum to guide them towards an intermediate level of understanding and beyond.

Peter Coulson Photography - Bec Livefast Mag Shoot
Peter Coulson Photography - Bec Livefast Mag Shoot
While we were in Paris we did a shoot to submit for the awesome Livefast Magazine as they have been asking for more content from Peter. The space in the apartment was limited but the bedroom had a beautiful window light and looked classic Parisian, and we kept the styling super simple with just a sheet as every year in Paris we do a ‘sheet shoot’. This tutorial is a BTS of our shoot followed by a retouch.

We have recieved lots of requests to film some more outdoor shoots, and are so excited to bring you this natural light tutorial now that Melbourne is out of lockdown and the weather is heating up! Natural light is Peter’s favourite, and a lot of the time he finds stunning light in the ugliest locations – like car parks, as he is able to get a direction of light from all the different railings and concrete blocks.

Peter Coulson Photography - Beach Shoot At Night
We receive lots of requests so show how Peter shoots with flash at night time, and luckily we are in the middle of summer in Australia so it is finally warm enough to do a night time shoot. Peter’s approach to shooting with flash at night is fairly simple, and once he has his settings, that is it for the rest of the night.

Proko - The Anatomy Survival Guide
Proko - The Anatomy Survival Guide
https://www.proko.com/course/the-anatomy-survival-guide
This course is what I've learned about anatomy from over a decade of being an artist, all boiled down to a "survival" guide for drawing human anatomy. It's a straightforward way to get you started with the basics. If you sign up, you'll dive into each part of the body in bits that are easy to handle. We're talking about the head, torso, arms, and legs, and yes, that includes both male and female forms. I put these lessons together to highlight how key it is to know the bones and muscles underneath to nail dynamic and realistic human figures. And don't get me started on gesture drawing—it's a big deal here because it's all about getting the feel of human movement down. Each part of this course is aimed at giving artists the tools to add those anatomical details to their work, no matter if you're into illustration, concept art, or 3D modeling. This stuff will help you get a solid grip on human anatomy for all kinds of artistic projects.

Proko - Drawing For Experienced Beginners
https://www.proko.com/course/drawing-for-experienced-beginners
Drawing is everything. Whether you are an illustrator, painter, animator, character designer, vis dev artist, comic book artist, or anything in between, your success hinges on your ability to draw. In this class, I will help you establish strong, indispensable fundamentals to help you quickly make progress with the most important aspect of your art. If you are a pure beginner, or someone with a little bit of experience, this is the course for you.
Each chapter is a lesson that was essential to my own learning - allowing me to draw everything from characters, to environments and backgrounds. It will be like a road map, highlighting each important stop on my own route to becoming a professional artist. I will be teaching through the lens of how I learned the concepts when I was a beginner artist, with insights into how I still use them today.
The concepts and fundamentals will be shown both in a theoretical way using lectures and deconstruction of artworks, and then immediately applied to real-world uses, as I draw through many demonstrations. The demonstrations also act as homework assignments, as they are specifically targeted to drill the principles and fundamentals presented.

Mono Nodes - REVERSE ENGINEERED GRADES
Mono Nodes - REVERSE ENGINEERED GRADES
https://mononodes.com/course-reverse-engineering-the-grade/

Welcome to my course, where I will guide you through reverse engineering a grade from scratch using behind-the-scenes images. These images are captured with still cameras, while the films were shot on various cinema cameras, each with its own color science. The goal of this course isn’t to perfectly match a single frame. Instead, we will focus on analyzing the scopes and building a simple node tree to achieve a look similar to the original film.

We will explore the popular “orange and teal” techniques, and I will share my perspective on the most effective and visually pleasing ways to create a complementary color scheme. This includes developing a basic node tree that allows us to replicate the looks of different movies using a minimalist approach.The objective is not just to imitate, but to examine scopes, deepen your understanding of color harmony, and adopt a straightforward, efficient method. This approach will enable you to work quickly and consistently.
