Decided to revamp my Toon Shader in Blender to support Specularity. By enabling this, this allows those little dots you see in some anime to appear on the model. You should be able to see a little of it on the skin of the model. I'm also testing a new toon shader for the clothing to allow more warmer colors. However, that verison is only on the purple parts of the dress.
2019-07-05 12:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostLike I said in June's post, I finished the Zoro And Perona Goes To Build A Bear Workshop, however, I really did not like how Zoro's model look when I applied lighting to him. So I asked my friend, Guimian, if he could edit the face to make it look better. If you look at the picture down below, you can see the modified one (left) when compared to the regular one (right). I plan on finally lighting the animation this month since the collab is due in early August.

Notes: I didn't do the lipsyncing for this scene yet and the final video will not have motion blur.
2019-07-01 19:47:47 +0000 UTC View PostFor one of the upcoming perks, I will be doing private livestreams for $5+ people. I'll either stream myself working on an animation, write a script, or edit an upcoming video. I plan on testing the feature June 11th at 6PM EST. I'll post a reminder again 3 days before the livestream. Hope to see everyone there

Did a small test of how the reward will look on the Patreon page. I originally wanted to have each shades be downloadable for each Patreon, but I don't know how to set it up so each Patreon can have the apporiate shades. For now, it'll be a cosmetic on the Patreon page.

Originally for the new Patron reward tiers, I was thinking about getting an artist to draw them. However, I realized that I CAN CREATE THEM IN BLENDER!
Not only can I create and render an image of Broze,Silver,Gold, and Platnium shades, but as a bonus, THEY COULD BE GIVEN TO EACH NEW PATRON!
I need to research how to make sure the right Patron gets the right glasses...
2019-06-26 20:04:39 +0000 UTC View PostAfter talking with a few people, I realized that it's time that I update my Patreon account. These changes won't go into effect until late July, but I wanted to let you guys know. Here are some of the big changes I'm thinking about doing.
1) Tier Name Changes: Looking at the names for the tiers, I feel like they aren't special enough. So I'm going to give them a more formal name. To see the new name of these tiers, check out the list at the end of this post.
I’m not sure if I mentioned this in my past posts, but I feel like I should share this with everyone. The goal I’m striving for by the end of the year is an almost complete switch to doing Blender animations. I wanted to make this post explaining why I plan on switch from SFM after using the tool for almost five years.
SFM has been a great starting tool, and I still recommend those who want to get into animating to use the program. However, there are A LOT of issues with SFM t...
2019-06-04 11:41:57 +0000 UTC View PostJust to get the formalities out of the way, I finished Kevy’s “Jump Shirou” Patron commission a few days ago. You can watch the video at the following link.
The main animation for “Zoro And Perona Goes To A Build A Bear Workshop” is done. Originally, I wanted to see if it’s possible to do the animation with a toon-shaded look, but I realized the amount of compositing to get it done w...

Completed Projects
The only completed project I finished in April is the Phoenix Wright Patreon Commission. You can find it here!
Ongoing Projects
I’m still working on my entry for the One Piece Newgrounds collab I’m participating in. I finished the beach scene of the animation and moving into the Build A Bear Workshop section of the animation. I also trying something different animate a huge chunk of the animation using FK limbs for the arms....
Since I need to wrap up the script for the next Nekopara animation, I thought it would be cool if I stream the process and possibily get some creative input from you guys for it. Before I do, I would like to know how many people can watch the stream on Tuesday at 6PM EST? If we have 5 confirmed people to attend the livestream, then I'll hold it. Thanks guys!

To my surprise, I finished three animations since the last post. The first is a short Neptunia animation, second is the My Hero Academia parody, and the last is the Dragonball Broly animation.
I’m proud to say that I finished the very first Blender animation on the channel. It took way longer than I anticipated, but I hope that the next time it takes to make Blender animations will be shorter. I will say that I plan on going back to fixing a few ...

I usually post this on the Discord server, but I want to see what happens when I do the same thing here. In the Broly animation, there's an opening shot of Broly's Locker Room entrance. However, it feels barren. Feel free to suggest any funny posters that matches with "Broly's the Champ" feeling to the shot in the comment section or in the Discord server!
2019-04-04 13:59:14 +0000 UTC View PostHey, guys! So I'm trying to think of new features to add to the Patreon and one of them is private livestreams for animations. These would include possibly private SFM tutoring streams. Would appeciate it if you guys could vote down below! Thanks!
2019-04-02 12:56:56 +0000 UTC View PostApologies
I want to apologize for the months of no posts this month regarding the projects I’ve been working on. To be honest, I was going through a rough time emotionally, but I’m slowly getting over it. During this time, I decided to investigate more ways to improve my animations which seemed to pay off in the Nekopara video. With that said, let me talk about the projects I’ve been working on.

It's been a while since I posted...any progress on my projects here. I want to apologize for the lack of posts lately, but I was honestly growing through some emotional stuff from December to mid Janaruary. I'm sorry for not letting you guys know ahead of time of my hiatus, but I was honestly not in the right frame of mine.
With that said, expect monthly progress posts to resume first week of March. I thought I could do one this month, but most of the stuff I would talk about would be f...
