Hi dear Patreon. Thank you very much for your support and patience with the process of developing this stylized painterly shader inspired by the Arcane style. Right now I'm at 80% completion for this project.
Truth be told, I watched this week's Arcane episodes, and they were jaw-dropping! I originally was developing my shader for future stylized CLOTH sculpts, and with t...

This month I'll be working on creating a stylized shader using Blender's capacity for compositing, shading, real time, freestyle, passes and other goodies of the trade. Don't miss out! Here's a quick proof of concept. The finalized shader will be published later in the month!

Hi, dear Patreon. This month I will be releasing a quick workflow to create a stylized shading in Blender similar to Arcane. All though you may find similar results around, this workflow will include Krita's new RGB brushes engine. Basically, you can feel the natural smudges and flow of the paint, and we'll use that to our advantage to create this stylized shader.
This along with other thing...
Hello, wonderful Patreon!
This week I had the opportunity to be added by Ellliot Animation, and he shares in this video how they approach 2D animation in Blender!
This retro-cartoon style has been present in many modern-animation series, and if you have the chance, please check out his video. It's very inspiring in the way they are developing tools for Blender (and speaking with the Blen...
Hello dear Patreon. Please do not think I abandoned our future character development "GHOST". On the contrary, I've been doing test speeds in Blender 3.1 and guess what? the speed is twice as fast to render with CYCLE settings. Which means it's even faster than what 2.79 used to offer us. All of that is great news.

Hello. As you may remember you guys voted to create the first rigged character for 2021 from the short Fixy storyline. He's a martial arts expert and he camouflages with his invisible suit. That's why he has the hoodie on top of the helmet. He's part of the Snow Falcon's team.
This is a base concept. The helmet, as well as the final character, will be delivered in the months aheads, fully ri...

Hello wonderful Patreon! I am glad you're keeping up with these posts about the style of Guilty Gear Strive. Today, there was a live stream from CG World where the creators showed awesome footage from the animation break down (drawn animation) and 3d animation. You can't miss it.

Hello, amazing Patreon! Today is the 18th, which (normally) sets my end date to deliver a .blend project completed. I chose to share the Goku .blend file because there have been requests for doing so, and also because I have never reviewed a completed DBZ model, even though it's stylized with the same method than Guilty Gear XRd (just a little bit more advanced).
Switching gears, If you...
There have been so many new Patreons requesting this file as part of the Stylized shader series. I did this Goku using custom light thresholds, instead of the normal 1, I went and used 3. The results speak for itself! And as always, turn on full render view, and you'll get a realtime playback (push the space bar for the animation to flow).

Hi. I am testing the possibilities to see if Blender can give a straight out pixel image with stylized shaders like in Marvel vs Capcom. This is just a quick WIP. The file will be available for you to explore (this is not a reward), but something that you can tweak settings to get different results on your own.
