Hello! In January 2022, we started designing Ghost who is part of the Fixy's C77C79 universe. Development for this character has been rather slow for months, looking for real life pictures and also anime references.
Last month, I started to use Stable Diffusion to iterate faster and better ANIME designs and uniforms, and THESE WERE THE RESULTS>>

Hello, amazing Patreons! As you may know we're close to celebrating Christmas holidays all around the world.
I'll be delivering DECEMBER 2022 rewards, publicly (not through DM) from the 26th to the 29th.
Thank you so much for another amazing year. You really make me strive forward with 2D + 3D ground breaking techniques and updates so YOU can also apply them to your works / personal projects.
-Cheers!

Hi, wonderful Patreon.
As you may know, invoking an "extra full or divided" dedicated window for the asset browser can be quite a problem, specially if you're working on a laptop because you lack monitor space. For such cases, the Blender developers are considering building an asset Shelf. 2022-12-19 01:15:52 +0000 UTC

Hello, this is a clip shared by one of the DBS Movie's animator. Check the After Effects playback as well as his 3D animated scene on the left monitor.
He's rendered the 3d fight scene in Maya. In After Effects, he's compositing the punch effect as well as "fixing" the background keyframed camera animation to match the fight.
Hello, wonderful Patreon.
In February this year, I posted the Ghost model sheet to create the 3D model of the next character in the Fixy universe. It is now December, and I agree I've been doing that model rather slowly. Fixy took 6 full months to become the version she is now. I am aiming a higher level...
If you are an active Patreon, you'll see how 1 month of experimenting with Stable Diffusion will produce anime-like results with the right prompts, because I shared a 15 minute video about this topic✅ in November 2022 rewards.
Today I found out about this same technique being used with Genshin Impact characters, and the posts went viral. That means, people are really taking advantage of ai to generate something to get the ...

For a while I've been avoiding posting NSFW content in our community, because it will quickly get out of hand when it's not oriented towards an artistic view.
As I mentioned at the beginning of the month, I will be sharing my entire month of training and exploration in training Midjourney and Stable Diffusion (mostly Stable diffusion) for Fixy. Some of this material is NSFW (nudity).
Please let me know if you are in favor of receiving NSFW material oriented for artistic research in ...
Hi. I just posted this video so you can see that there's real opportunity to work with Anime production in studios like Ufotable, using everything I've been posting in this marvelous Patreon community. Thank you for your support, and I hope you can gather a short demo reel and apply with them for professional work.

Hello, amazing Patreon!
This week I've generated 2000+ different images (some of them even NSFW) to test how the trained model would handle the different style exploration for Fixy. Check out the prompts and the denoising strength. It was not an immediate result. Out of the 2000+ generated images, 80% was not usable at all. Be patient, generate your grids (I used 4x6). But! Here's the big take away when using your own 3d render into the img2img tab:

Hello, amazing Patreon. Midjourney Version 4 is in beta right now, and the prompts can only output square images, but what an amazing improvement they have!
I was watching this and this impressive video over the new features, and I couldn't wait to try it out. What do you think?
Hello, amazing Patreon. This video shows how to train a hypernetwork file ("hypernetworkName.PT") with your own images. Beware this is a lenghty process with a lot of checkpoints and refining steps. In the end, the author of the video recommends using DreamBooth.
I'm sharing the video here, so you can use it in case you want to train a hypernetwork with your own images.

Hello, wonderful Patreon. Please check out OCTOBER REWARDS sent directly to your messages, so you can configure and use Stable Diffusion with the custom ai trained .ckpt model. From there you can follow my latest video. I've also sent the images generated in that video in a previous post.
But this tool is seriously a powerhouse once you get your own (or any other image) into the img2img node. Check these variations for military uniforms!

Hello, amazing Patreon. I know how hard it is to come up with great anime characters. Maybe you'll need references, and instead of searching online for hours... why don't you generate them yourself using Stable Diffusion?
THIS REWARD WILL BE DELIVERED TO PATREONS WHO HAVE PLEDGED THIS MONTH VIA DIRECT MESSAGING. IF YOU PLEDGED BUT HAVE NOT RECIEVED THE DIRECT MESSAGE LINK TO THE FILE, PLEASE NOTIFY ME.
This is the core principle: Use the Stable Diffusion web application in your own ...
Hi. I just came across this post, which is an excellent page to describe the kind of prompts you may use to generate ai images (this is just a WORD guide, not specific to any ai engine). Which is also a great reference for your anime modeling pictures!

Check out this amazing addon for picking colors in Grease Pencil.
It proposes a quick solution for the tedious task of jumping back to the shader material, instead: Press "A", select the palette pop up color and keep on painting!
This addon is not mine, but I find it tremendously helpful if you're working on Grease Pencil toon animation. Y2022-10-28 14:30:27 +0000 UTC View Post

Hello, amazing Patreon. The file reward for this month is now available and it was sent via direct message (DM) for all Patreons who pledged this month. Even if you are new to my Patreon community, there are *a lot* of available files you can take a look at to study stylized shaders and anime Blender models which either I've reviewed or I've created for you. So, your support is very appreciated to keep bringing you a lot of content for Blender anime and animation production (2D or 3D).

For those who deleted the pledge, you'll have to pledge for September to get the reward.
I'll be directly DM'ing the rewards from this month onwards.
