I think there are two main types of shadow effects.

Creating an atmosphere of 90's anime

Introduction.

I love the atmosphere of anime videos from the 90's and so on.

So this time I'd like to try to recreate the atmosphere of anime images from those days.


When I thought about what is the difference between modern animation and the animation of the 90's, I came up with the difference in the shooting process.

Modern animation is all a shooting process done on a computer (digital processing), but originally, animation was shot one...

kawaii character control vol. 1 (story of the eyes)

The importance of the eyes

The eyes contain a tremendous amount of information. The way you move your eyes can express emotions and convey psychological information.

One of the reasons why some people say that 3D model animations look like dolls is that the expression around the eyes is not good. Conversely, by focusing on the area around the eyes, you can make it come alive.

So, in this article, I'd like to focus on the eye area.
