March 2023 Archive: Your Quick Guide to CG Dhamaka's Best Content
If you’ve been scrolling through CG Dhamaka lately, you’ve probably noticed a surge of new tutorials, software hacks, and design trends popping up in March. This page pulls together everything we rolled out during that month, so you can jump straight to the stuff that matters to you.
Top Tutorials That Got Everyone Talking
We kicked off the month with a step‑by‑step guide on creating realistic water shaders in Blender. Readers loved the short video clips, the downloadable .blend file, and the tips on lighting that saved them hours of tweaking. A few days later, we tackled a quick workflow for character rigging in Maya, breaking down the process into five easy steps. The key takeaway? You don’t need a massive rigging library; a few smart bone placements do the trick for indie projects.
Another fan‑favorite was our After Effects shortcut cheat sheet. We listed 20 keyboard combos that cut down rendering time by up to 30 %. Those shortcuts have been spotted in student reels and freelance gigs across the country.
Design Trends Shaping Indian CG Scene
March also saw a deep dive into the rising popularity of low‑poly art for mobile games. We highlighted how the style not only looks fresh but also runs smoother on budget devices—a big win for Indian developers targeting a wide audience.
In addition, we explored the resurgence of hand‑drawn textures in 3D environments. By blending scanned sketches with procedural noise, artists can achieve a unique, organic feel that stands out on social feeds.
Lastly, we posted a market round‑up covering the latest GPU releases and what they mean for local studios. The verdict? Mid‑range cards like the RTX 3060 still offer solid performance for most CG pipelines, while the new RTX 4070 is a game‑changer for real‑time ray tracing experiments.
All these pieces share a common thread: practical, hands‑on advice that you can apply right away. Whether you’re a student, freelancer, or part of a studio, the March archive gives you tools that translate into finished projects without the fluff.
