So the guys have been very receptive in th...

Hello, wonderful Patreon! Thank you for your vote on the 3 different characters with the "cyberpunk theme" last week.
As I mentioned last year, one of the things I'll be doing this 2023 year (God willing) is to reference you to Unreal Engine and how to bring your Stylized Character with all th...
Hello Patreons. I've been requested *A LOT* to make a tutorial about making a Character (not just stylized character) to be ported to a video game Engine, so if you had to choose, which one would be your preferred character?
Please write your LETTER COMMMENT along with any emoji 🎮 you want....
Well, to simplify the above post, we will not have to wrestle shadow artifacts in EEVEE, and that's all going to be a thing of the past. Hopefully this implementation will come soon. Read the thread, comment here.
Cheers!

Hello. This is an insightful video that demostrates the need to art-direct the shots or scenes. Basically if you have a toon shaded model, correcting it in BLENDER using Grease pencil should be EASIER to "paint over". You don't need extra modules or renders, because the scene and acting has been ...
