      I think that's a misunderstanding of old scriptures. Recent empirical studies indicate a small increase in good karma if you don't delete the cube.

    thank you so much for this tutorial! You are great at explaining and I just love the artistic angle you bring to it and that you are willing to share your "secrets" is really kind of you. I know a lot of artists who think if they explain how they do things it will make them somehow less (worth less, less interesting, less magic,... I don't know how exactly to explain, I'm sure you've met the type though).
    Fun fact: I've been admiring your work on instagram for months and since I'm only now starting on 3D and I come from the Photoshop side of things it never crossed my mind before that this could actually be 3D - I always thought it was "just" a clever edit with stock images and Photoshop. I tried to find stock photos that would work to create something like this but just couldn't figure it out. Since it was never on my top priorities list or anything, it was much less dramatic than it might sound here, just something kinda nagging at me. Then when I started with blender around Christmas I started to view your images in that new light and realized you were using blender (first time actually looking through the tags... yeah, I know ^^). But it took me searching on youtube for "sand scene in blender" to find this tutorial -- imagine my surprise when it was you teaching and sharing your tricks :D Thank you again, so cool!
