As we wrap up the community fundraising phase of the OVERGROWN campaign, it's time to talk about the next steps for the feature film project and upcoming Blender Studio activities in general.

With OVERGROWN as a feature film concept for the future of open filmmaking, we set an ambitious target of reaching 7,000 Blender Studio supporters. We reached 88% of this goal, and we thank everyone who answered our call.

So, with the goal not quite met, is it time to give up and shelve the film? Not exactly. The support we've gathered is still a substantial force, one that allows us to pitch the project to external buyers. While Blender Studio's producers and PR team prepare OVERGROWN for the final round that will decide its fate, our artists have already moved on to their next projects.

What's next for Blender Studio?

- Cowboi, the 18th Open Movie, currently in development
- A secret expansion project
- Lots of brand-new master classes: bite-sized courses covering a wide variety of topics

We have plenty to share in the coming months, so stay tuned and bring a friend. The best thing about the Blender Studio production knowledge library is that it never stops growing.

Blender Studio invites everyone to OVERGROWN Open Doors!

For one week, all things OVERGROWN are free. The content gallery is now open to anyone curious about how this project is coming together. 

To reach the next stage of the OVERGROWN project, we need more support: our target of 7,000 supporters hasn't been met yet. So before the teaser drops, we want to give you a taste of what it's like to be an OVERGROWN supporter. Here's what's on the menu: 

- Production Logs covering several months of the project's development
- Masterclass on painterly shadows
- Content Gallery

Painterly stylization in 3D comes with plenty of challenges, and one of the toughest of them is consistency. For us, that challenge has repeatedly centered on cast shadows. Perfect, precisely rendered shadows that project a detailed silhouette onto a backdrop can go a long way toward ruining an otherwise beautifully painterly vibe.

After trying different workarounds for Wing It and Project Gold, we finally landed on a shadows treatment for Overgrown that blends seamlessly into a painterly environment.
