Link of the Week!

This week's Link of the Week is an awesome resource for 3D people, but even 2D people can find some awesome uses for it!

This site is the king of all blueprints. It has pretty much every car, tank, ship, or other random object you could imagine. It is a wonderful resource if you need reference photos. 

Not all the references are free, but they still have a very large amount that are!

They even have some really random/awesome ones. Like.... this Jedi Starfighter!

Enjoy the awesome blueprintness!
Till next time!

Links of the Week!

Hey all, we're back again for another semester, and we'll start it off with another link of the week!

I'm a little surprised/ashamed we haven't posted this one yet, as it is an indispensable source of news and events in the animation world:

Animationmagazine.net



We've also got some demo reel playlists on youtube, for you to peruse at your leisure, featuring both 2D and 3D work:
