✅ Sketchfab toon shader

Hello, awesome Patreon. If you're new to this channel, please know that I upload rewards in THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH (between the 18th and the 26th). 

On to our subject. 

For almost 5 years, I've been keeping a close eye to Sketchfab, since it's a dedicated 3D viewer platform as a direct competitor of Marmoset viewer (Artstation's preferred 3D viewing model). Marmo...

Attack on Titan S04 P2 - Key visual

Hello, awesome Patreon. I came across this interesting video where each piece of the "memories" from Eren are separated with a different color (Object ID matte in Blender, and it's alternative better option: Cryptomatte object IDs). All though this video is (I think) made with Photoshop, it goes to show how you can use matte ids, to separate individual selections. Matte id selections are key wh...

✅ From 2D to 3D (Ghost character development)

In this short video, you can see why the Guilty Gear creators decided to have different channels in the same texture and combine the Lineart, Shadow and solid color. This is something we can apply to our 3D models.

Blue Eyes File?

Hi! I've been asked a lot about the release of the BEWD .blend file to release it as a reward. Originally it was a client work comission, but today a bug about Rigify armatures being broken was reported, which qualifies the BEWD rig file to be released as a CASE STUDY.

That means you can only use it to practice your animations or use it in your portfolio as animated character. Credits...

Netflix official Training

Without having any clue at all, I started to share some of the thing you'd need to prepare in order for your animated series to be "considered" on Netflix as a streaming platform of content back in JANUARY.

Well, we're into February, and it happens so that Netflix OFFICIALLY has posted this formal training for creatives like you! (click on the link above the tit...

Anime submition to Netflix

Hello, awesome Patreon. This is a quick post to remind you this month you got two awesome files to explore with the ✅ symbol post in the title. Thank you very much if you bid for this month's rewards.

Switching gears, I had previously posted about the opportunities that you can find in streaming media (such as Amazon Prime or Netflix) and I feel there is a huge gap for people in 3D to p...

LENS - Short videos

I just found out that the Patreon application can post "LENS" or what we consider "short video format" (similar to YT shorts and Tiktoks), well, if you're interested to know about the hardware device I use to manipulate Grease Pencil tools, let me know in the COMMUNITY section of my page.

Cheers!

I've been posting how the Asset Library is a game changer for the Blender community since July 2020. Check the link, check the video, and immerse into the full potential of the Asset Library.

Cheers!

New (Rigged model) Strelezia (Darling in the Franxx)

Hello, amazing Patreon.

I am finishing a model I wanted to post as this month's reward: Strelezia.
This model does not have UV unwrapping, only materials.
The intention of this model is to have GREASE PENCIL strokes rigged to the model, so you can see how you can further stylize your 2D toon shaded models in Blender 3.

This is just a quick capture so...

Freestyle in Blender 3.1

Hi, this is just a quick test for the facial's normals and the Freestyle pass in Blender 3.1. Sol's shader for Strive was composed on the fly, this is not the final shader, but if you're interested in the file, let me know. It also contains the idle animation. 

As always, this is for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY, so you can explore the file and parameters.
I think I will start a DNF ...

It's 2022 - Where is your audience watching Animation?

Hello, marvelous Patreon!

After 4 weeks of being sick with an awful virus, I'm back on track, thanks God.
So there are a couple of things to be addressed officially now that we are on 2022:

1. Patreon's 1st goal has been reached!
Back in December I mentioned that once we pass the 1st goal with this channel, I will be including technical tips about how to p...

Blender 3.1 and the Pose Library

Hi, amazing Patreon!
This is a quick video to start off the year with the pose library included since Blender 3. I am using Blender 3.1 because of some features on grease pencil and faster speed to render volumes. Nevertheless, I hope you like this demo.

Cheers!

Painterly Shader - missing Texture

Hi. If you got the Stylized Painterly Shader, please check out the green section "CONNECT TEXTURE HERE". Delete the image connected there (empty image), and use the RgbMix node encircled on the orange circle to set the slider to 1 (to favor all the procedural textures). Blender packed an "empty" image, and now it's recognized as a missing image.

This was explained in the long 4...

✅Cowgirl breaking down the texture setup

Hi, amazing Patreon!
Today I wanted to break down the process of the texture setup I did for this anime cowgirl
model. I created this model with a simplified approach to the ILM map, where you basically create all the textures and then join them in a specific order.
Check this video to implement these ideas into your own stylized models. If you have any questions, please let me know i...

The important LINE ART map (and vertex color)

Hi! Here's a WIP preview of a character I've been working on, as well as some tips to do awesome 2D textures.

I wanted to address the importance of using a separate line art from your color map. The line art map is just a black and white texture. In the Guilty Gear XXrd shaders this map is embedded in the alpha channel of the characters.

In Guilty Gear Str...
