Release Notes Version 1.1

Hi guys,

I've added 3 more videos into the Blender Lighting section, I give a demo on setting up a sunset and moonlight option. In the third video I cover using HDRIs for lighting, I go over a darker/spooky scene and sunrise option.

Also the guys at COOLORUS.com have kindly provided a 20% discount code for their colour picker for anyone that picks up the tutorial.

Thanks!

This is one of the best tutorials I've ever done. Gavin teaches at a great pace, and covers SO. MANY. PIECES. of blender that you really need to know. This was the first thing I ever made in Blender, and it was such a great introduction. Thanks so much for making this, Gavin!

Honestly, this is a fantastic tutorial to get more comfortable/understanding with Blender! Finishing this tutorial changed my perspective on how to approach artwork from now on. I always use Blender now to speed the process faster! Also, the brushes in this set are my favorite ones ever! Thanks, Gavin!!

One of the greatest tutorials I ever had. He explains the whole process and shows step by step from the initial references to the final piece. If you want to know how to use 3D and paint a unique winter wonderland artwork – this tutorial is for you. Also, Gavin explains his decisions so you can learn from his thought processes. Highly recommended to everyone! Greetings, Noah Carev
