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 questions, please let me know.
Thanks!
Pierre.
Hi wonderful Patreons!.
I've been busy working with Ghislaine (rigged character) as part of April's reward.
I am also finishing the Anime insights video for this month as well as other client commissions, but I wanted to do a short break and thank all of you, dear Patreons for your support.

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 Blender 2.83 stable release which is always in maintenance exactly for compatibility and studio pipelin...

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 a cool month, since we will complete Gishlaine Dedoldia posed model (and yes, you will get a rigged...
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 questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks!
Hi. Don't get impatient. I'm finishing the model tonight, textured and all. This is a quick capture.
This model will have a simple geometry node and rig Next month, so don't miss out!
Any questions about the progress of the model and NPR materials, Vertex paint, please let me know!
Pierre.

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.
Thanks.
Pierre.

Over the coming months I will be able to share more scripts that will be updated in time with recent versions for Blender themes, addons, and most important: APPLICATION TEMPLATES.
Keyword here: VERSIONING.

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 on this model, I hope to finish her modeling and shading before April so we can move on to rigging al...
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! You probably are using the current Blender 2.92 recent solid release. With it a lot of great tools were released regarding grease pencil, geo nodes, attribute nodes, and many other speedy things for rendering EEVEE passes. Basically, we got full house now so I decided to harvest all those advantages in modeling Ghislaine Dedoldia from the anime Mushoku Tensei as the Patreon reward for March. No restrictions, I can release this fully as fan art for all of you (yes, .blend) format. 2021-03-01 03:54:13 +0000 UTC View Post

Hi. I recently came across this interesting post about the file structure that an anime production could use to organize the team.
You can check details in Google Drive. This was a link shared in another social network. You can read the author's name account in the original document information properties.

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.
Stay tuned, because as supporting Patreon, you'll get it first. I can't promise it will be a reward for February, but it is now scheduled to be a reward nevertheless.
Let me know what you think. 😉

The Yugioh Prismatic Art collection brings alternate art prints including IP Masquerena.
Look at this gorgeous outfit she has right now. As you may recall, IP masquerena basic model, was a reward sometime ago. I am seriously thinking to upgrade her costume to this new AMAZING look in 2021.
A fully rigged model wouldn't be a bad idea....
Hi, dear Patreons.
I just released this Blender-V (dark ui theme) which is useful for long hours exposed in the monitor if you work with Blender.
This dowload includes an image folder so you can further customize this theme to your liking.
Since I've spent so many hours (since 2018) configuring Blender themes, you as Patreon supporter, will get direct answer if you need to customize something in your own UI with your own colors. Feel free to ask.
Enjoy!

I can assure working between 2D and 3D at the same time is no easy task. So I am documenting everything in my process to lay it all out during this 2021 here in Patreon, as I mentioned last December. I am happy to report that Blender 2.92 will be shipped around Feb 20+ and it will have more tools available for Grease Pencil. Anime production is going to be a breeze!
BTW: Who's is watching AOT? (Attack on Titan?) The soundtrack is awesome to listen while you work.

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.
