#artwork #tablet #3dart Testing the giant 14.25-inch Ugee UT3 (Trio Pad) drawing tablet from the perspective of both a 2D sketch artist and a 3D sculptor! At just £380, could this massive standalone tablet actually be a budget iPad Pro alternative, or is it just a cheap toy? In this honest, unsponsored Ugee UT3 review, we put its 10,000mAh battery, 250GB storage, and matte anti-glare screen to the test. We'll look at the drawing experience, pressure sensitivity, tilt control, and how it handles mobile 3D sculpting apps like Nomad Sculpt. ⚠️ ARTIST WARNING: While it's an incredible budget option for beginners and a powerhouse for 3D sculpting, there is one major flaw you need to know about before buying—pen wobble (jitter). If you have a fast, sketchy 2D art style, this might be a dealbreaker. Watch the full video to see side-by-side comparisons with the iPad Pro and find out if the Ugee UT3 is right for your workflow! 🎨 Links & Discounts: Grab the Ugee UT3 here: https://shopugeecom.sjv.io/c/7393473/3258275/41544 Use discount code [grabbitt10] for 10% off! #UgeeUT3 #DrawingTablet #BudgetArtTablet #3DArtist #iPadProAlternative #NomadSculpt #DigitalArt #ArtTabletReview

In this tutorial, we’re looking at an incredible, 100% free browser tool called Raycastly. If you’ve ever found the perfect reference photo online but couldn't use it because of a bad angle or distorted perspective, this workflow is a game-changer. We will walk through how to easily rip, unwarp, and flatten images directly in your browser to create perfectly packed texture atlases for your 3D models and game development projects. Whether you are building low-poly environments in Blender, optimizing mobile game assets, or just want a faster workflow than Shoebox or Photoshop, this free tool is a must-have for your toolkit. 🔗 Link to Raycastly (GitHub): https://github.com/raycastly/texture-ripper MY COURSES: My Complete Blender Creator single course only $28 https://www.gamedev.tv/courses/complete-blender-creator?ref=ywqzmjc My Mega Pathway Course - build your own asset packs $60: https://www.gamedev.tv/bundles/blender-pathway?ref=ywqzmjc SOCIALS: Substack for Articles & Written Tutorials: https://grantabbitt.substack.com/ Gumroad For Free Beginners Booklet: https://grantabbitt.gumroad.com/ My Website: http://www.gabbitt.co.uk Discord: https://discord.gg/uwF2fcm Buy Me a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/M4M21GGIWE OTHER USEFUL YOUTUBE TUTORIALS: Learn the basics of Blender 5: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn3ukorJv4vv9_e-htADGsPX9TMaQpHV8 Get good at Blender series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn3ukorJv4vvv3ZpWJYvV5Tmvo7ISO-NN Learn Sculpting playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn3ukorJv4vvJM7tvjet4PP-LVjJx13oB

#blender3d #gamedev #3danimation In this Blender tutorial, we look at a fast and incredibly efficient workflow to turn a single real-world photo into a low-poly, game-ready 3D asset. Texturing doesn't need to take hours or require complex node setups. By preparing a single image (fixing perspective and flattening it out in Photoshop, GIMP, or Krita), we can bring it straight into Blender to trace, model, and project the texture directly onto our geometry. This technique is fantastic for indie game developers who need highly performant, low-poly assets that still retain a beautiful, realistic look. Whether you're building backgrounds, environment props, or building assets for a game engine, this single-image texturing method will save you a massive amount of time.

#blender3d #animation #3danimation Is Cascadeur truly the future of character animation, or is it just another "game-changing" buzzword? In this video, I work with Max from the Cascadeur team for a live animation challenge to see if the software actually lives up to its massive reputation. I wanted to see if we could animate fast and effectively in a real-world scenario. The results were surprising: we managed a walk cycle in seconds with just a click of a button and some quick tidy-up, and tackled several character animations in under an hour. We looked at: -Auto-Physics & AI Tools: Can you really animate at the click of a button? -Workflow Efficiency: How to iterate and perfect complex poses in just 1 or 2 minutes. -Hype vs. Reality: My honest thoughts on whether this replaces traditional keyframing. -Live Challenge: A raw look at the software under pressure—no polished edits, just real results.

#blender3d #gamedev #3danimation Blender recently addressed the controversy surrounding a major donation from AI company Anthropic. I talk through why the community reacted with concern over data scraping and artist rights, and how Francesco Siddi responded by officially recategorizing the funds. I'll talk about the details of the statement, exploring the shift from a "Development Fund" partnership to a "one-time donation" to ensure Blender's roadmap remains free from corporate AI influence. Topics covered: The community backlash to the Anthropic donation. Concerns regarding AI models scraping artist work. The difference between a "Development Fund" member and a one-time donor. Blender’s commitment to independence and transparency.

#blender3d #gamedev #3danimation Looking for a high-resolution drawing experience without the "pro" price tag? In this video, I review the Gaomon PD1900, a 19-inch 4K UHD display tablet that retails for just $650. Gaomon is known for being a budget-friendly brand, but can this 4K screen actually compete with mid-range favorites like XP-Pen and Huion? In this review, we cover: 4K Resolution & Screen Quality: Is the UHD sharpness noticeable? Build & Portability: How the adjustable stand feels and why the cable setup might limit where you work. Drawing Experience: Testing the pen pressure and responsiveness in Photoshop and Blender. The "Krita" Issue: A warning for Krita users—I ran into some compatibility hurdles you need to know about. The Verdict: Is it better to save $100+ with Gaomon or stick to the bigger brands?

#blender3d #gamedev #3danimation Mastering Transform Pivot Points is excellent for speeding up your workflow in Blender 5. In this beginner-friendly tutorial, we look at every pivot point option so you can start modeling with precision. I portant for rotating multiple objects at once or positioning complex character joints. We look at everything from the default Median Point to the powerful, often-neglected 3D Cursor hack that makes positioning lights and limbs a breeze. In this video, you will learn: How to quickly access the Pivot Point menu (and the Period key shortcut). The difference between Median Point and Bounding Box Center. How to use Individual Origins to rotate multiple objects independently. The "Active Element" trick for precise control. Pro Workflow Hack: Using the 3D Cursor for advanced rotation, light placement, and character joints (shoulders/elbows).
