    3. @royjacobsMay 2021· in “Dynamo Dream – sci-fi short rendered in Blender”

      This short was written and directed by Ian Hubert, who is an amazing 3d artist. I'm not affiliated in any way, but I'm just blown away by the sheer talent on display here. If you're interested, a few years ago he did a very interesting presentation[] that goes into a bit more detail on his way of working. [] this video

    4. @gitgudDec 2019· in “Ask HN: Best Talks of 2019?”

      A [1] video essay about modern art by Jacob Geller. For me, it completely reversed my opinion on modern art and it's worth. This [2] talk about building worlds in Blender by Ian Hubert. [1] [LINK] [2] this video

      Absolutely, which is an enormous well deserved complement! He makes it seem so easy, but he's got a ridiculous amount of skill. He's on his way to giving mind blowing presentations at Blendercon too. this video
