If you didn't know that Project Dogwaffle has this 3D capability in 3D Designer (and other modules or filters), have a look at the River Canyon series of tutorials, a playlist with dozens of tutorials centered on using the 3D Designer for creating landscapes with a variety of mountains:

The Last Draw: Winter is Coming!


If it's not already here, that is.

Some of you have experienced very cold conditions already. Others are just starting to prepare for the first winter storms. It's a good time to get creative, to start painting, rendering and animating, with a dominant amount of white themes and cold blue.

Here are a few, old and new. We hope it inspires to stay close to your PC, near the warmth of the cooling fan.







see the animations:

And that's a wrap, for now. Thanks for waffling and howling!
