This was originally NDA material for an ongoing project but the client switched directions (again) so this got scrapped. Luckily, I recorded a bunch of BTS for it for later Patreon usage and get to drop it early :)

So I spent the last 3 days trying to re-learn my entire pipeline in Blender… as some of you may know, I understand basic things like importing models off the internet, texturing, lighting, and animating them for the job I did in late November that recklessly tipped me off the psychological edge...

Hi ya’ll my bad for dumping like this. Lunar New Year just took me OUT like I'm sure those who celebrate get it... but for those who don't, it's basically like a Thanksgiving and New Years in one. Spent a lot of time just catching up with my family (couldn't visit but lots of calls)
Still making human sized versions of these hats soon but took a short detour into a doll sized one for my bb :’)

so many of you saw this on my IG story, but I did a project recently while on vacation.
