Dear Followers,
A creative break of almost a month, combined with a tour through three countries – that’s how Karin and I spent this years May.
I visited my “old homeland” in the Westerwald region of Germany, we traveled along the Rhine, then we went to Graz in Austria to visit family and dear friends.
We experienced buzzing city life and the green Styrian countryside.
To top it all off, we treated ourselves to a week’s beach vacation in Bibione (Italy) before the holiday season started.
It was an exhausting but also very joyful and inspiring time, which we spent together with Bailey and Mickey in various locations and Airbnbs.
Now I’m back in office and I also have some new stuff coming shortly:
First of all the DevLog#3, but also some tutorial capturing is planed for the near future.
I will release these tutorials mainly on Patreon:

Enjoy!
Helge, Karin, Bailey, and Mickey
Hi folks,
At the moment I’m reworking the DaVinci Resolve & Fusion tutorials collection on my pixeltrain Patreon. So you now can watch all my tutorials there without YouTube’s advertising bombardment.
https://www.patreon.com/collection/533543
The introductory tutorials for BlackmagicDesign Fusion and Fusion in BlackmagicDesign DaVinci Resolve are now relinked and therefore available to all Patreons.
This software package is simply fantastic for anyone who wants to edit videos, composite animations and renderings, and create HUDs. I hope you enjoy it.
Let me know if you’d like to delve deeper into BlackmagicDesign Fusion.
Then we can plan more for the future.
Cheers,
Helge
Today I’ve uploaded another chunk of tutorials from chapter 8 of my „pixeltrain Blender Fundamentals” publication to Patreon.
Have fun!
I’ve released a new Blender tutorial on YouTube. In this tutorial we will talk about the work with instanced collections in production, why they are so important but also which problems will come up if you don’t organize them correctly. We talk about some strategies to find the source collection of the instances in one scene, but also when they are linked from the outside. Then we look into a great free add-on / extension with the name „Edit Instanced Collection“, which helps you to modify the content of a collection easily.
You find the add-on here:
https://github.com/SuperFLEB/BlenderEditCollectionAddon
These topics are covered in this tutorial:
00:00 Helge Introduction
00:38 Introduction of instanced collections in production
01:20 Explanation of instanced collections
03:08 How to instance them
04:05 Object Data & Object Data Properties

07:57 Installation of add-on „Edit instanced Collection“

I’ve released a new “Blender for Production” tutorial. Today I talk about ways to bookmark the Blender 3D view, generate cameras from the current view and how to animate camera switches easily.
Have fun!

P.S. You can also get this and many more Blender tutorials on my Patreon page:

Just added a new lesson to my “Blender Fundamentals” publication about the changes in the Blender 4.2+ Auto Smooth / Normals workflow.
I also made this lesson free for everyone on my free Patreon here:
Have fun!
P.S. Keep in mind, it’s a lesson from a beginners publication 😉
I’m not sure if you all have seen it, but I started to upload all the tutorial videos of my “Blender Fundamentals” publication to my Patreon for the $5 tier. At the end it will be around 25 hours of content 😉
I plan for the future, that following publications about Blender and Godot will be published as a buyable product and as Patreon videos at the same time. The reason is, that I believe, that Patreons should have all my publication stuff for free as a “Thank you 
” for their support.
https://www.patreon.com/pixeltrain3d/posts
I also published more technical articles and news about Blender and Godot in the last weeks with the goal that you find my free Patreon also a good resource of industry news. And, most important, ad-free. I will invest even more time in that in the future.
Thank you all for your support, have a great day.
Helge
P.S. These tutorials can be found in the Collections Tab under “Blender Fast Forward”. Still many to upload in the next weeks

Just published a short Blender tutorial on YouTube. It’s about the changes and improvements of the keyframing workflow in Blender 4.1 .

As many of you probably know, in addition to my normal job as trainer for 3D, VFX and games, I also publish many free video tutorials and articles on industry-relevant topics.
Since I’m lucky enough that some nice folks support me on Patreon, you’ll find everything collected there again in my profile. And, unlike on YouTube, you can enjoy my videos there without any advertising noise and distractions 😉

Today I’ve created “Collections” for a better overview. I hope this will bring even more order to the many past posts. There is still a lot to do… 😓
