Hey hey!

We’re back with another monthly recap and some exciting news! ;)

—————————

PARTNERSHIPS

We want to provide as much value as possible to our students, even outside of our courses. That’s why we decided to partner up with a couple of amazing Blender add-on creators.

TOAnimate members now have a 30% discount to purchase the Animation Layers add-on, as well as 15% off of Blastframe’s Ultimate Animators Bundle. As animators, we find that these tools are a great addition to vanilla Blender and we use them all the time.

ANIMATION AND MENTORSHIP COURSES ARE LIVE!

After a lot of hard work, we were finally able to give access to our current students who purchased the Animation and Mentorship courses during the Kickstarter. We will start uploading lessons to them this month. For now, students can enjoy all of these newly released assets:

May Rig
Cockpit Set
Dummy Rig
Sword
Hoverboard
Martin Rig
Ball with Tail Rig

BLENDER BASICS OFFICIAL RELEASE (ANNOUNCEMENT)

And finally, the exciting news! We decided that instead of waiting till all the courses are done, we will publicly release the Blender Basics course on June 12, 2022!

Stay tuned, as we’ll be sending out another email once the course is out. Currently, the course contains over 40 video lessons, accompanying PDF handbooks, and it comes with the Max Rig, Gun, Bouncing Ball Rig, Camera rig and our Blender Hotkey Cheat Sheet!

WHAT’S NEXT?

May is going to be a busy month for us. We have just a few more details to fine-tune (and a few more videos to complete) before the Blender Basics release. Then we’ll be shifting our focus to the animation courses, polishing up the spaceship living quarters set and designing cool new assets for future release.
