Hi dear Patreons. Last month (for some strange reason) the billing period started at the 26th of the month. To this day I don't know why Patreon did that. If you got any issues with Rewards last month and your billing period, please let me know.
So! Here's Ghislaine Jacket completed. Next stop: Sword and rig! Remember this will be one of the Rewards for April.
If you got any questi...

You've probably heard our motto over activemotionpictures channel in youtube, which is: "Blender is powerful and beyond industry compatible."
I guess other studios know this as well, and this video will help you feel confident that Blender has been gaining momentum for the last years (in this video we see Blender 2.79) and it's likely other animation studios are using Ble...

Hey everyone, as you have seen the Guilty Gear Xrd and GranBlue Fantasy Versus videos in my youtube channel, I have been applying the techniques shown from those 3d assets with different anime characters. This time is the turn for a WIP on the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
I will also rig this model as it is the first time I am rigging 6 limbs in Blender.
April is finally here, and this is...

Blender can create stylized Anime characters. In this video, I will show you the general process of how you can stylize hair, optimize uvs and create the shaders for the Warrior Wolf Girl.

Hi. I am very satisfied with the result of this model as March's reward.
We'll be adding her coat in April as well as her sword and rigging her in a battle pose.
Rewards will be sent in a few more hours.
Thank you for your patience!
There is also a video I will be uploading for Patreons about this complete process so you can follow along with your own models.

Hi, for some reason Patreon decided to do the charge for Patreons the 29th. I don't understand why is this.
Ghislaine model will be completed in a few more hours. There will be this shaded Model and then the NPR-shaded model as March reward.
On April, we will do a basic geometry node for her jacket's fur, the sword and do a basic rig to pose her "in action".
Please if you have any q...

Here's another capture of the modeling process of the hair. In a previous video I explained quickly, what parameters can be fined tuned to optimize stylized hair created from curves and I will be covering more on that topic once the complete model is finished.
I hope you like this progress capture. I am trying to go as fast as I can with this model so I can complete it as March's reward.<...

Hi. I finally started the hair. This I wanted to do for a long time since it's the most prominent characteristic trait she has.
I can't wait to use the stylized shaders on her!
Also: There are a lot of "normie chores" waiting for me in line starting Monday, which means I will be away from the machine almost until the end of the month. Even though I am putting a lot of hours o...

This was a live panel of the different departments in MAPPA regarding the CG creation of the titans, the character designer, colorists, production supervisor and compositor. I will be commenting of some of their techniques in the videos ahead. I want to share what I've seen them doing for the season finale as well as other easy-to-transfer to Blender, techniques.

Hi. There are a lot of people who have asked me for an update on the series (Part 1 was launched in 2019) and we have a lot of awesome new tools in Blender 2.9x. Indeed it's a necessity to upgrade part 1 to 2021, including some new methods in the GBFVS shader.

There will be a time when you're using different versions of your character's face that contain a mirror modifier, but you've already sculpted your shape key. Blender by default will say you cannot apply modifiers with shape keys, but with this addon, YOU CAN!
I use it in a daily basis. It's free. I totally recommend it.
