April Donation

This month is $100 to World Central Kitchen, they do great work, check them out.

It was another slow month so I'm not able to give as much as I want, I'm trying to give a percentage of what I earn to keep things sustainable.

Thank you all for your support

The Character Gauntlet

This video will be public tomorrow or the next day, once I get the thumbnail and description ready. I hope you like it! It was very different for me and I wasn't really able to do as much for it as I had hoped, but time is up and it's done now.

I don't have the files with me right now, I'm on a different computer, but if anyone wants the character models, let me know.

Making music for the Mii video

Idk if this is going to be a supporter exclusive forever but it is for now!

I plan on making a separate video about making the Mii voices.

Enjoy!

March Donation

This month is $100 to the NRDC , they do good work, check them out.

I'd like to donate a little more but this month was kind of slow for me since I didn't post a video in January or get any sponsor money.  I'm still trying to figure out how to keep this YouTube job sustainable and consistent.

I remade the Mii Maker in Blender

Sorry I know this is not very early since I'm posting it tomorrow and its pretty late in the day right now, but I am literally still working on it. It was a lot of work. I'm still finalizing the thumbnail.

I hope you all like it!

Mii Maker Blender product and challenge!

I remade the Nintendo Mii Maker in Blender!
Get it for free from Gumroad and join us on Discord for a challenge tomorrow!
I'll be recording the challenge to get footage for the next video, keep that in mind if you don't like being recorded.

Mii maker test (file included!)

So I'm still working on it, but I think its finished enough to let you all test it out. I'd love to see your results if you make something with the intention of maybe putting it in the next  video.

I'm planning on making this free on Gumroad when it's done, and the next video will be about the process, so look out for that.

Things I didnt post about 1 (supporter exclusive)

I look through my screenshots folder and show what I've been up to.
Enjoy!

Future videos, personal goals, and my work / life balance

So I took last month off from posting a video on the main channel, so I could have a little break. Meeting the deadlines for the sponsorships has been tough because I struggle to make videos that don’t require a ton of work, since I started doing character animation and putting music in each video. I like the results, but it takes a lot time. So I had some time to think about future videos, g...

Text or video?

Sometimes I wanna give updates to supporters about my future plans and what is going on in my life.

Would you prefer these to be text posts or videos?

If I make videos, they won't be very visually interesting, probably mostly a voice over with me showing my notes. Do people even read text posts?

February Donation

This month we have $100 going to World Central Kitchen, and $110 to Sunrise Movement 

I'm super grateful for all the support I get, thanks a bunch everyone.

My character animation secrets

This month was rough, but the video is done! Woohoo!

Sorry for not posting much here, I'll post more in January. I was busy with family stuff and I also helped edit a course for CGMatter this month, so I didn't have time for much else.

Next month I'm not doing a brand deal, so I'll be able to rest, experiment, and make more second channel videos.

I hope you all like the video!...

Donation for November and December

I'm going to try to start donating earlier in the month so I'm doing a double donation this time for 2 months.

Anyway, this time it's $50 to World Central Kitchen who provides food for communities in crisis, $100 to the Natural Resources Defense Council which is made up o...

Animating bizarre TikToks with Blender

I spend enough time on the couch watching TikTok, so I tried to make it more productive.

All the blend files are attached. Have fun! I hope you all like it.

This will be public tomorrow.

My video making process (exclusive)

I'm in the midst of editing this video

Planning the wacky motion video (behind the scenes)

This is the first patron exclusive test video. It's pretty shoddy but if anyone is interested in behind the scenes content, and seeing how I work, I can make more of them pretty quickly. Let me know what you think.

October donation

This month is $50 to World Central Kitchen, and $50 to Community Change Action.

I used to donate toward the end of the month and it has slowly shifted into the nex...

2D style materials in 3D animation

Well, this one is done. I hope you all like it.

I'm still working on the thumbnail and description so it might look a little weird if you check it out early.

There are plenty of things I think could have been better, but I have to get it done because of a sponsorship deadline.

Patreon and Discord changes

I need your help!

Over the next few months I'd like to rethink how my Patreon, Discord, and YouTube memberships are structured. If anyone wants to suggest a change let me know!

My Patreon, Discord, and YouTube memberships are all connected, but they feel too separated, and I don't give them enough time to make them enjoyable for my supporters. So I want to find some ways of making...

September Donation

This month is $50 to ACLU and $50 to NRDC 

Thanks for all your support, which is why I'm able to make these donations

Quick toon shader stuff (2nd channel)

I Spy Discord Challenge

If anyone wants to take part in the challenge, come on over to Discord.

Discord Server: https://discord.gg/dvmAZdwf5e

I just got eye surgery (it's good, don't worry about it), so I might be slow to respond to people depending on how I feel. I'm planning the next few main channel videos, and if I make any 2nd chann...

ASCII geometry nodes update

I just updated this for the last video, so I figured I'd share it here too!

All my videos are outdated

This one took a while! I'm actually still working on making thumbnails too. I put extra effort into the editing and animation this time, so I hope it does well.

I hope you all like it, thanks for being patient. It'll probably be public in a day or two, because I wanna updated the ASCII product on Gumroad first, since I mention it in the video.

I have the next few video ideas prepare...

August Donation
