Here it is.
The attached files are the one from the video, and the animation.
This one is rigged a little better than the previous character, so it might be fin to play with.
This video will be public on Wed the 20th, and I'm planning for the next one to be public on
May 4th.
My current video schedule is to release a video every Wednesday except for the last of the month, to give...
The other day I did a livestream and once again, I'm only making the recording available to Patrons. Just so you know, I didn't finish the character in this one, but I'll model this character in the next public video.
Eventually, I will schedule some in advance, but I'm still getting used to it.
Enjoy!
I'm finally getting back to character modeling videos!
I plan on having the next 2 also be character modeling before getting back to geonodes and other topics.
So this one has 2 files with it, the one i made in the video and the thumbnail file.
The thumbnail file has the rigged character, but it's pretty messy. I made it quickly and just made it good enough to pose.
If you need your...
One of the benefits of me quitting my job is that I can make videos more quickly.
No promises, but if I can keep it up, I'll do early access videos more often.
I'll make this public on Wednesday around noon EDT.
Enjoy!

I worked on this felt / fleece material some more and added some controls to the geometry node modifier to make it easier to control.
It is pretty heavy in the viewport, so there is an option to change the viewport resolution for the particles.
I added a couple color tests too, but I'm still not sure how to get the particles to match the object color or UV.
Anyway, have fun!
This month has been pretty good when it comes to Gumroad sales and new Patrons (Thanks for that!), so I donated an extra $50 this month.
The first $50 went to the Natural Resources Defense Council as usual, and the other half went to World Centr...
I'm planning on doing some material studies, where I try to math certain materials as closely as I can. I figured I'd share some of them here for you all to use or check out.
This one is a work-in-progress so I might try to improve it and reupload at some point.
It's also pretty slow on my computer because of all the particles and made for cycles, so it's use it limited.
The fuzz...

In the next few days I'll be publicly announcing this, but here is the info a little early if any of you would like a head start. The winner will win an XP-PEN Deco L.

I got a request to share this file.
It's back from June of 2019 when I had only been using Blender for a few months, and I was just getting started with rigging and character animation.
This was made in version 2.79, but luckily it's all intact, except for the reference video which is linked below.
The original reference video is from a show called "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphi...
This one took me longer than expected!
I hope you all like these geometry nodes videos.
For those in the Fancy Feast tier, the product is up on Gumroad and you should be able to get it for free with the last coupon code i shared.
The next videos will be a character modeling conte...
I thought it would be a fun idea to do it this way to show some sort of hierarchy, but I've been considering making them all the same size.
Thoughts?
In case you missed it, I did my first test stream today.
I decided that I would make the recordings available to Patrons only for now.
Before I go live, I will notify people on Discord.
If it is a larger planned stream, I'll tell people at least a few days before, but for the time being, I am just doing casual streams like this.
Enjoy!
Donation
Another month, another donation to the Natural Resources Defense Council ( https://www.nrdc.org/ )
Right now I have a recurring $50 donation that goes through the 21st each month, and I plan to keep it for the time being. I'd like to donate to other places as well, maybe a Ukraine relief fund. If an...

New video!
https://youtu.be/O1zsoyIGq10
Here are the project files for those interested in playing around with them.
Also, I'm currently planning a character modeling contest that will take place on my Discord server. I'm talking to Xp-pen about supplying one of the DECO L tablets as a prize. It's in the pretty ear...

Here is the file I worked on in the video.
The full product version is up on Gumroad, so the Fancy Feast tier can use the discount code to get that for freeee.
Have fun!

I finally remade my barbed wire with geometry nodes!
Attached is the file from the video. For those in the Fancy Feast tier, you can get the Gumroad product for free with the new discount code that I posted recently.
Enjoy!
Here are the computer models I made for my cable generator video.
Do whatever you want with them!
I had some textures and paid products that I shouldn't share, so this file is mostly just the models.
Have fun!
Yes, I know it isn't Blender, but Spline is pretty neat too. I included the file so you all can check it out.
This is my first sponsored video of this size. Hopefully I can keep getting sponsorships that I like, so I can spend less time at work and more time on videos.
I have a barbed wire video already recorded, I just have to edit it, so that should be up soon, along with an updated pro...
Another Geo Nodes video.
I hope you all have fun with this one, it's something that could be explored much further.
https://youtu.be/NVKrucXJbC4
Tomorrow a new video will be out about making a cable generator with geometry nodes.
I ended up turning it into a product, so the project file is a little different.
It's a simplified version of the product that I put on Gumroad. So those in the "Fancy Feast" tier can download the full version for free with a coupon code.
I hope you all enjoy this and are doing well!
Also, The Janua...
I noticed a few new people joined recently. Welcome!
I have a few videos planned. The next one should be out in a few days, it's about making bundles of cables like in the post image. I'll release a light version here, and it will also be a product on Gumroad.
After that, I'm doing a geonodes video about scattering points. And if it works out, I'll do another video about making lightning....
Tomorrow a new video about making crystals is coming out.
Here are a few files to check out, feel free to use the node group to make your own crystals.
This is something I might revisit, I think it could be made much better and more robust. Possibly a new product?
I hope y'all are liking the geo nodes videos. I will eventually make more character creating content, but for now I'm diggi...
A new video will be coming out tomorrow so here is the project file and scene from the animation in the beginning of the video.
I'll most likely do a few more videos about geometry nodes, so I hope you all are interested.
Thanks!
I know it's not December anymore, but I forgot to mention the third donation of $50 went through on the 21st, to the NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council).
I'm really thankful for the support I get here that allows me to do this. Thanks so much!
I have fallen out of the weekly video schedule to learn and play with geometry nodes. I will still try to upload frequently and eventually get back on track, but until then. Here is one of the experiment files to play with.
There is a group that plays with face scaling.
Another that distributes points on a model and then connects all of them with a line....

New video tomorrow!
Here is the file that I used in the video, with all the textures packed in.
I've been pretty busy learning and experimenting with geometry nodes, so hopefully I'll have some videos about that soon.
https://youtu.be/bECFCNtCbJI
I got the project file for the next video!
I included all the other characters I made with MagicaVoxel, as well as the two rigged and animated characters in the video, and the exploding fish guy.
MagicaVoxel is a lot of fun.
Enjoy!
Thanks to all of you, I just made the second $50 donation to The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). It's been an exciting few months with the launch of this Patreon and the growth of the YouTube channel, and I'm really grateful for all the the support I've gotten from the community.

Here it be!
This is the file I used to make the little animation in the intro. It uses the same walk cycle that I made in the video.
I plan on doing more rigging and character animation videos as I learn and get better, but I'm always interested in suggestions.
Have fun!
Here is a quick work in progress shot of a walk cycle video I'm working on (It'll look better than this when it's done).
Let me know what other video topics you'd like to see.
Character animation is one of those areas where I'm still learning a lot, so the complexity of what I can teach is limited by how much I know. I'm always trying to get better though.
