I had the amazing opportunity to interview one of the animators from the classic youtube series called "I am a Zombie". I wanted to create this rig so you can see how it works and how you can setup your own cartoon TOON look for your 2D models using Blender's Grease Pencil.
Rigging in 2D is about hard as 3D, but I recorded the entire process and I will be releasing cool notes in a short video and the full video training will be announced in the weeks ahead.
Meanwhile, enjoy your <...

The Guilty Gear Strive Stylized Shader in Blender's EEVEE is a continuation for the previous series in my youtube channel, however this time the shader is much complex than the previous version. This new setup took me around 6h to a point where I could experiment with some stylized liberties. As you know, Unreal engine uses different materials and functions to represent shaders in-game. EEVEE being a realtime engine for realistic materials can also be used to create stylized shaders like Giov...

Probably some of you have seen the potential of the new feature that will be coming into Blender 3: The Pose Library.
As you may probably know, Fixy was shipped with the Pose Library v.2 - Which basically allows you to select her thumbnail in the pose library when you're in POSE mode, and apply it to the character and she will immediately get into the tumbnail's preview pose.
All that's about to change in the next Blender version, since I will be updating Fixy to use the def...

Hello! This is the progress of how Annie is turning. I am working a lot to make a really nice stylized smoke similar to the show's. Also, this month, we'll be talking about how Mappa created some of their awesome scenes and how they plan their workflow regarding 3D titans, in a Patreon-exclusive video.

Hi! -As many of you probably know, FaceRig is a Vtuber stream program that was free to use in the Steam community. I came to FaceRig back in 2015. Ever since, I always found CRYPTIC (to say the least) to read how to properly import a model that can actually work in the application, let alone the custom files that needed to trigger your own custom actions.
I decided to "RE-WRITE" the user manual to be "human-readable" and so that you (if you ha...
