Congratulations to /u/DevourerOfWasps for wining January's contest with their notebook design. You can see last month's results here. Theme This month's theme will be musical instruments. Like Blender, they're tools for artistic expression. Perhaps you'll make something high-energy and eye-catching, like a pair of bouncing bongos, or a groovy guitar. But you could also make something more relaxed such as a music class's storage room, or a musician's workspace. Show your appreciation for a musician's principle tools in this month's contest. Making a Submission. Artworks submitted here must the following criteria: * The post should be made before the end of February 27th UTC * Countdown to submissions closing * The post should be an render, animation, or other artwork which was made primarily using Blender * The post should contain supporting images/text or a top-level comment with the following content: * One of the following methods of proving that the artwork was made using Blender: * A link to the .blend file for the project, ideally including external assets or links to where external assets were sourced from. * A set of three image which may be clay renders, viewport renders, wireframe renders, or simply screenshots of the project open in Blender. Some variety is encouraged. * A screen recording of you manipulating, navigating, or otherwise interacting with the scene. * An explanation of of all work that was done outside of Blender, outside the time frame of the contest, or by other artists.

A generous local user has offered up their RTX 3090. The card is fully functional and in good shape. The card is currently housed inside of a Razer Core X external GPU enclosure. With a Thunderbolt 3 port, this enclosure permits the card to be used as an external rendering device. This enclosure supports three DisplayPort connections and one HDMI connection. The enclosure is in good condition, with only minor scuffs. The 1st place winner will be awarded this RTX 3090 and the accompanying enclosure.
