This week on POLYCOSM we show how the shadow render pass option in Blender can be super useful for finding good light compositions in your scenes, and how this render pass can be used as a way to generate thumbnails for for example client work, illustration work or even environment concept art.
PS: We're in the process of moving homes at this moment, so we might not have a video for next week. Sorry about that!

WANT TO LEARN HOW TO BECOME A MASTER SCULPTOR IN BLENDER?
A few weeks prior to taking on the Xerocole project, I took a CG Boost course called "Mastering Sculpting in Blender", which taught me everything I needed to know in order to create this sculpt in Blender. Zach Reinhardt covers literally EVERYTHING you need to know about sculpting in Blender, and a bit more. If you're interested in levelling up quickly, I couldn't recommend a better course than this.
If you're interested, here's the affiliate link I was given (full transparency, I get 20% for every purchase of the course via the link, but once you've purchased it, you can become one too!): https://academy.cgboost.com/p/masteri...

POLYCOSM aims to bring you high quality tutorials looking into concept creation from a 2D AND 3D perspective; taking a concept from a rough sketch and turning it into a fully visualised 3D model.
The channel is run by Freelance artists Christina Myrvold and Omercan Cirit who both work in the entertainment industry on a full-time basis.
We want to show you how to come up with creative ideas, use reference efficiently and how to generate different concepts in the 2D stage that can be then interpreted by a 3D artist in a full, detailed production pipeline.
Lastly, we want to share technical tips and tricks, showcase different 2D and 3D workflows and just create awesome art together!
