"Animating using expressions can be a big timesaver, especially when it comes to mechanical objects such as a merry-go-round! In this tutorial, Stephen Ko walks us through a simple expressions-based project, creating a simple UI with sliders to control the different parts of his model. Let’s get started!"

"You may have noticed that Cgtuts+ has been posting more Premium content over the last few months, but what exactly is Premium, how does it differ from normal content and, more importantly, how do you get your hands on it?! Well today I’m going to give you a behind the scenes look at the Tuts+ Premium system, and I’m sure you’ll love what you see!"

"High quality books in different color variations (see previews). Now you can quickly add more details to any of your scenes."

"When designing an identity and brand materials for a client, good presentation is crucial! In the first part of this 2-day tutorial, Hussain Almossawi takes us through how to model the different items usually involved in the branding process, whilst in Day 2 he’ll cover Lighting, Applying Materials, Studio Settings, Rendering and Exporting, and finally the Post Production. So let’s get started!"

"This large scale hi-res grass texture has been created using 16 separate 12 megapixel photographs, which have been carefully edited and combined into a single perfectly tiling, 100% seamless image."

"As a professional designer for five years, I have learned a few things about the industry, but none are as important as the following: Understanding how to work within collaborative groups is absolutely essential to creating great work, and advancing your career. Group dynamics obviously depend on the type of place you work at. I have now tried both sides of the spectrum (in-house and agency) and while they are totally different, the concept of working within groups is still relevant. Today, I will be sharing a collaborative project that we have recently completed at my current place of employment, Huffy Bicycles."

"In this invaluable, in-depth series we’ll be taking a look at smoke and fire simulation techniques within Blender 2.5, and who better to take us through this process than the man behind the official documents himself, Gottfried Hofmann. In the 3rd part of the series we continue to prepare the hi-res setup, and we also look at tips on saving baking time and how to keep the simulation stable. Prepare to be amazed at just what Blender can do for free!"
