Stylized painterly shader (Arcane inspired)

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 that basic idea I had to "blow up" the complexity of all parameters from what I originally i...

Welcome new Patreons! - Progress in the Arcane shader

Arcane - Blender stylized shader proof of concept

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!

Stylized shading in Blender - Paint

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 things, will be coming along as rewards in November.
Cheers!

How Blender is looking into the future of 2D animation

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 Blender foundation) to help every 2D / cutout /3d animator use their tools in future Blender releases. 2021-11-04 02:32:18 +0000 UTC View Post

Blender 3.1 Cycles X is faster x2 than 2.94.5!

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.

Modeling Anime hair buns

Hi, I wanted to show you this 2h timelapse for modeling anime hair buns. You can see the video in slow motion if you click on the gear icon on Youtube and use 0.1 speed.

Why the Industry needs Blender

At 12:34 - The director is asked whether he likes the previz (previsualization) of the process for the movie cuts (the movie scenes) in the new Evangelion movies. He says "I got a lot of work to do", meaning it's not nearly the kind of quality he needs for the camera angles to tell the story.
The camera is a CRUCIAL actor in your scene.

Ghost - Key concepts

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 rigged.

To select your bones in a hierarchy, go to POSE mode and use:

Ramlethal Stylized Animation - Guilty Gear Strive

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 are new here in the channel, we did a poll past 2 weeks ago where Patreons voted for a character in...

✅ Goku - DBZF shader in Blender

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).
