Hey Guys,

Blender Defender here with all News for February 2021. Before that, I want to say thanks to AskNK for featuring my addon in one of his videos. If you haven't seen it already, you can find it here. If you have trouble installing it, please check this troubleshooting page. I'm really sure it will fix your problem.

First, Blender 2.92 released! If you haven't already, you can download it here. Unfortunately, Blender didn't make a Feature Reel (1 Minute Trailer), as they made for Blender 2.90. So I challenged myself to make my own, and I'm very happy with the result (watch it here). Shoutout to all 81 SheepIt renderers and my SheepIt Team for rendering the Splash Screen File in that short amount of time absolutely free. (Want to get started with SheepIt, a free distributed render farm? Visit their page!)

Second, I uploaded a new video yesterday. It shares a Tip, on how you can create a double exposure like effect in Blenders Shader Editor:

You can watch it here. The addon mentioned in the video can be found here (83% Discount, Limited to 100 Downloads).

Third, I've set up a Pinterest-Board full of free Blender Resources:

You can find it here. My favorite of this month is the Road Signs Textures Pack by abdou bouam:

It contains 530+ individual .png-Files, and he rendered them all to a 2k resolution format. That's a lot of work for over 500 signs, so if Artstation asks you to leave a tip, that may be a sign that you should donate $3-10. But if you don't have anything to donate, you may also skip that. You can get the files here.

Fourth, I'm announcing, that from now on, in the next few months I'm going to upload a video every Saturday. The last Saturday of the month will be a Quick Tip, as usual, and the other months, I'm uploading Product/Teaser Videos for my mostly free Addons.

And that's it for this month, have a nice March and remember:

A river cuts its way through stone not because it is so strong but because it persistently pursues its destination.

Greetings,

Blender Defender
