Welcome to the latest edition of Motion Magnet. It's been a bustling few weeks in the world of AI, and while there's been quite a stir around OpenAI and Sam Altman, I'm choosing to sidestep that melodrama — frankly, the politics and theatrics aren't my cup of tea.

However, what I'm thrilled to announce is the launch of my DOMESTIKA course. I'm delighted to finally share this exciting news with all of you.

So, this course is all about diving into 3D design, and it's really for anyone who's into this stuff, not just for folks using Cinema 4D or Redshift. It starts off with the basics, so you're not lost if you're just starting out. Over five units, you'll learn how to get ideas and inspiration for your own projects, which is super handy. We go through how to create awesome 3D images, and there's a lot of hands-on work so you can really get the hang of it. The cool part is, at the end, you get to do this project where you can show off your own style and everything you've learned. It's perfect if you're looking to get better at 3D design or just want to find your own creative style.
