“Blender setting for optimal work Lastly, we created our inspiration board and now let's tune Blender to optimally shape letters. At the time of recording this lesson I use version 2.93.6. Before we start designing our letter, I want to show you some settings that optimize the workflow. First, we set the Render Settings to Cycles. This render engine achieves better and more realistic results and i mainly work with it. Next we switch from CPU to GPU Compute, that is, we use the graphics card to render.

A course by Alper Dostal
Alper Dostal is a 3D artist and designer from Vienna, Austria. After graduating with a degree in graphic and communication design in 2011, he quickly found work in this field. Over time, he developed an increasing interest in 3D, to the point where it has become an integral part of his work as a full-time graphic designer. He's created visual concepts, artwork, designs, and 3D typography for brands like Teka, General Electric, and Samsung.
3D design enables him to explore the physically impossible, such as melting wood or rubbery concrete. He often looks to the creations of others for inspiration, such as Dieter Rams's minimalistic designs and Salvador Dalí's surreal paintings. His Hot Art Exhibition, a series of visualizations depicting melting works of art, has been displayed in Bergamo and at the Art Basel fair in Miami, as well as featured in a variety of art and design magazines.
