    DeNoise Podcast

    So one of my recent projects with CG Cookie was producing the DeNoise podcast. It was a few months of wrangling the team to help test a method of recording; figuring out best practices for audio and video capture, and eventually editing the content into a coherent product. Jonathan Lampel took over at the end, and did an amazing job of setting up the RSS feed, publishing it all to platforms such as Spotify and iTunes, and other podcast platforms.

    I’m really proud of this one! You should totally give it a listen. Here is a link to the CG Cookie DeNoise landing page, but searching “DeNoise Podcast” wherever you listen to Podcasts should get you there.

    I took part in the Creative Freedom Summit hosted by The Fedora Project recently. Thankyou to Mairin Duffy for the opportunity to talk, and for teaching me more about FOSS! If you wish to see some of the other great talks, they’re all available on their Peertube Channel

    In 2022, I completed a full start-to-finish course using Blender’s Grease Pencil to create a comic for CG Cookie. The results for the course as well as the finished comic exceeded my expectations. I put everything into the production to make sure all techniques, tips and methods were the most up-to-date, easy to follow and well researched as possible.

    It is currently available to CG Cookie members, as well as on Blendermarket as a stand-alone course.

  • Officially an Instructor at CG Cookie!

    Officially an Instructor at CG Cookie!

    So I’ve been a bit quiet on the Youtube and blogging front, but there’s a very good reason. After months of working with CG Cookie on a yet-to-be-released project, I’ve been brought on as an instructor. I will be producing a couple of courses to be released later this year, focusing on Grease Pencil, comic creation and storyboarding. It’s pretty exciting stuff!

    If you’d like to check out my new instructor page over on the official site, it’s here: https://cgcookie.com/p/instructor-paul-caggegi

    Pavla Karon wrote a really nice article as an introduction there too https://cgcookie.com/posts/welcoming-paul-caggegi-cg-cookie-s-new-blender-instructor
