You asked for it. Over 1,200 students told us: “Great course, but can you re-record the booleans section? Can you show more non-destructive workflows?”
So go grab the update. Open Blender. And model something that would have made you proud a year ago.

If you want to be the first to know: sign up for the Creative Shrimp newsletter below. We don’t do “update for the sake of update.” We do updates because the software got better, the workflows got smarter, and you deserve the best version of what you paid for.
CGMasters / Creative Shrimp P.S. Still using Blender 2.79? We won’t judge. But the 2.8 update is waiting for you when you’re ready. 😉 [BUTTON: GET THE UPDATE (Free for existing owners)] [BUTTON: BUY THE COURSE ($49 – includes all updates forever)]
We’re not re‑recording the whole course for every point release. But we are committed to keeping the updated. What Students Are Saying (So Far) We gave early access to 50 existing students. Here’s what they told us: “The new boolean section alone is worth the rewatch. I used to avoid booleans entirely. Now I use them daily.” — Marc T., product designer “The non‑destructive panel system is genius. I built a spaceship hull in 20 minutes that would have taken me 3 hours before.” — Elena R., freelance 3D artist “Finally, someone explains weighted normals without making my brain melt.” — David K., hobbyist How to Get the Update If you’re a new customer: You’ll get the updated version automatically. No extra steps. Open Blender
So today, we’re officially rolling out the — a complete refresh of the course’s core chapters, assets, and workflows. If you already own the course: Log into your CGMasters account and re-download the new files. This update is 100% free . Why an Update Now? Two reasons.

The (edge flow, bevel logic, boolean strategy) are engine‑agnostic. They’ll work in 3.x, 4.0, and beyond. “Not another ‘we updated the UI’ post
Using Blender’s (Solidify, Bevel, Weighted Normal) plus vertex groups , we built a reusable panel system. Add panel lines, vents, or armor plates without ever committing to geometry.
Later this year, we’re releasing a workshop. Think greebles, nano‑panels, and procedural wear‑and‑tear.
The shown in the videos are 2.8‑based, but we’ve added a downloadable PDF cheat sheet mapping all shortcuts to Blender 3.6 LTS and 4.0.
But hold on. This one’s different.
