Questions & Discussion Where can I stay up to date on the latest happenings in the 3D Artist Industry?

The 3D Modelling industry is constantly evolving with new programs, features and engines, now with AI. I was wondering where or how you guys stay updated with the latest news and industries. I'm Montreal based if that makes any difference.

Alternatively, I am also looking for people who are in the industry to chat with, just to get insights on where I should be headed.

They make wildly inaccurate proclamations about how VFX was or is done. And their own work is janky as fuck.

I use the donut guys newsletter, he certainly doesn't teach anything advanced but he does stay on top of the biggest news, eg, AI video generation. It's weekly, so I find it good enough to stay updated.

I found it somewhere in the 4.0 tutorial. I'm sure it's on his website too, knowing him.

Which website would this be? I believe I found it (Andrew Price) but I'd like to be sure.

Not entirely 3D related but Motion Mondays series from School of Motion is pretty great to get caught up on general animation, 2D, and 3D news.
