I did a few 3D scans of squashes and pumpkins and put them up on Turbosquid.
Here are some Squashes and Pumpkins that I grabbed myself from the field with my little family, scanned them with love, retopologized and cleaned UVs in zbrush and uploaded them for sale on Turbosquid.
Click each image to buy them on Turbosquid if you want to use them in your projects or just study them..
CG podcasts everywhere!
If you are a CG maniac and have a few hours of sparetime (yeah sounds like a perfect antithesis) there are more and more podcast to listen to everyday, here are some:

3ds Max 2016 vs 3ds Max 2017 vs Houdini 15.5.565 vs Blender 2.78 rc2 Start Up Time
I am comparing start up times for max 2016 -17, Houdini and Blender.
Why those 4 apps? Because I am a 3ds Max user since more than 20 years and now I am seriously learning Houdini and Blender. And I was so impressed by Blender Startup time that I had to make this video.
3ds Max is surely an app I will still be using all my life cause there's always a trick or two that the old cowboy has in his hat that allows him to act faster or easier (but not its startup time for sure).
But frankly Houdini really feels like a more modern app, I would even say like the most top-notch cutting edge 3D app you can ever imagine.
Blender on its side (apart the fact it is loading so fast and has many technology max doesn't even has!) is most of all the result of the most innovative way of developing a 3D app: free and open source. We can share it, change it, use it, break it, fix it,Trash it, change it, mail - upgrade it... like the Daft Punk song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtdWHFwmd2o
