Comparison between Blender viewport and final comp in Resolve. I do like the viewport render as it has more of a 2D look. My schedules were too tight on this project to make a proper look dev. as I’d like to push more toward NPR style like my shorts... show more

I’m thinking about buying your “Alive!” course, but I’m worried you might release an updated version later. Do you think your next course will be an updated animation course?

Pierrick Picaut20 days ago

No don't worry, and I plan to support Alive! in the future with more content.

I feel the overblown white of the sky and the reflections uses a lot of contrast space up and grabs visual attention - although it should just be a background element. That's why it's partially easier/more relaxing to read the viewport version. Looks fantastic either way.

So when is the new course please PP?

Love the bbone as an obelisk, such a nice touch. Do you do the full sequence in a single file or split files by shot? Always curious about other people’s workflows

Pierrick Picaut22 days ago

Split by shot

@sttuuuufffff Fantastic work! I do agree there is something charming about the viewport being flat colors

Pierrick Picaut22 days ago

@sttuuuufffff Yeah, it’s more readable and the characters pop out more.

I like to use the compositor in Blender to make the viewport render look more beautiful. For my more recent characters, I added: - Bloom (Glare) - A white outline (Dilate/Erode) - Diamond sharpen (Filter) These can really improve the visuals a lot, depending on the character!

I recreated the #ArcaneSeason2 Piltover Garden scene using #Blender. I roughly built a 3D scene, made a draft render, and then painted over it in 2D. All moving parts like foliage, characters and spinner are 3D elements. Breakdown coming soon. More info:

Since my newest Sonic render has made many wondering how I made my render look like Sonic Adventure 2D drawings, here's a turnaround video of the same Sonic 3D model and pose used to make the render! Warning, some angles may look strange XD. #sonicthehedgehog #art #3dartwork

Color grading in Blender is how you build your visual style. Most artists skip it — and every render ends up looking like a render. Technically fine. Visually forgettable. Grading directly in Blender means no external tools, no roundtripping. Cinematic result straight out of the renderer. But more than that — this is where your signature look comes from. The contrast, the temperature, the way shadows feel. That's not the scene. That's you. Ignore it and you're always one step away from having a style of your own. Power Grade Color Grading in Blender add-on:

made a quick prototype of how the cage could look like. despite everything being mixamo, it doesn't look too bad. I was going to add more stuff like attacking but i was too lazy

Here's another Blender animation I made a few years ago called Forbidden Munchies. I feel like this was a turning point in my 3D career. At the time, it pushed my skills and set a bar I never wanted to lower. Now when I look at it, there's so much I would want to change.

I say, models like Seedance 2 are the future of immersive filmmaking. Look how I can deliver an output from an idea in minutes. Do that like Kane Parsons in Blender and it takes hours for a first look and feel. Anyway the liminal and #Backrooms are so powerful topic. Also 3D is not dead, I work also on my long form 3d walkthroughs in unreal for maximum consitence. Check out my latest AI 8min full film (Link in Comments).

GPT-6 Astra recreated Dax Raad in Blender. This is very meaningful to me because what Dax thinks about my productivity impacts the lives of my wife and son. It is a relationship in which, ordinarily, the balance of power runs almost entirely in one direction. Today, I feel like some of that balance has been restored, since Astra trapped this simulacrum of him inside Blender. I can scale Dax. Rotate Dax. Move Dax along the Z axis. Make Dax very small. I hope models like Astra can help restore that feeling and push us toward a more empowered future.

I created character assets and a world map for an Earthbound 3D game through mint it literally took me like 20 minutes to generate the world + characters as well as animate them The best part is I can download all of my assets in any 3D software like blender or unreal engine

this model has lipstick and her lips look flat in the head turns. So I added a lower lip line to make the lips look more plump. I dont like the look of it in the front view, so I only applied it when her head is turned

Tonight I made my return to animating on YouTube with ksi’s latest video As some of you know, a few years ago I decided to take a break from animating on YouTube… I felt like I’d hit the limit of my ability and lost some of the love for it During that time I taught myself how to use Blender in the hope that 3D might open some new doors and respark my passion for animation… here are a few of the animations from that video

This looks like it came straight out of a Studio Ghibli film 😭🔥 Wind-blown hair. Swaying grass. A billowing shirt. All made in Blender by @BirdChen3D — as a tribute to Miyazaki's final film, The Boy and the Heron. #Blender3D #B3D #StudioGhibli #AnimeArt #NPR #3DAnimation

Alright so I made new animations for Gengar to make it look more like in the Pokemon anime, and feel more like a ghost. I also added a new animation where it actually uses its tongue, since Gengar weirdly never uses it in any of its animations.

🦾Have you watched my newest Blender tutorial? I try to incorporate as much "why" as possible so that you not only understand the steps but the context too. So that you'll have a better understanding of the overall concept and how to apply it to your own project. #b3d #blender

You know I had to do it!! gpt-6-astra (High), one prompt, Terreiro do Paço in Lisbon (Blender, not Three.js!) This one hits home personally 5 years ago, in college, I had a whole course in Computer Graphics. For the final project, every group had to recreate Praça do Comércio / Terreiro do Paço in Blender (our project delivery is in the comments). I wanted to see how Astra would perform. For one-shot, it's pretty damn good. Astra is a beast in Spatial 3d, and Blender is not like Three.js! It's significantly more complex, with a broader range of modeling, materials, lighting, etc. Generational leap (and I will run a few more prompts here)

I decided to make an UPDATED VERSION of Geno's Shapeless Man style and here's how it turned out! 👀 Below is a video comparison & image of the official Shapeless Man material not including the niagra (flame & distortion vfx) and my version of the Shapeless Man material. While making this, I made sure to use the SAME textures that were used on the official Shapeless Man style. Although I was a tad bit more restricted in Blender with what I could do, I still think it came out good. No disrespect at all to the artists who created the Shapeless Man style, but the biggest issue I have with it is that the lines on his body aren't animated. Along with the distortion, that was a huge factor in what made the Shapeless Man... well, shapeless. The animated lines were present in the Collision version of the Shapeless Man, so I'm not sure why they aren't present in the official style. 🫤 Another change I made to the material was Geno's eyes. In the Collision Event his eyes had a nice gradient and looked a lot more intimidating. Unfortunately that was niagra which I do not have access to in Blender, but I tried my best to recreate a similar look in Blender. Additionally, I also added back Geno's scarf around his neck (Yes, it's codenamed scarf). This was another big detail apart of the Shapeless Man that really made his look feel complete and it was unfortunate to see that was excluded in the official style. I'd like to thank Point⁉️🍉 for help with the node setup & aiden for providing me with the material for the original Shapeless Man style. 🫶 Despite some of my disappointments with the material itself, I LOVE the new unique mesh for the Shapeless Man. In comparison to the Collision version, this mesh makes Geno look a LOT more unsettling and the team behind it did a wonderful job on it! 👏 All in all, I'd love if Epic could take this into consideration and possibly update Geno's Shapeless Man style to look more like the version I'm suggesting. I only want the best for this character. 🤞 Support on this post would be appreciated and thank you to whoever took their time to read this! ❤️

I think a lot of people are missing what GPT-6 can really do because they're using it out of the box. Give it the right free MCPs and skills, and it starts to feel like magic. Start with Blender MCP. In my tests, it works faster and uses fewer tokens than computer use. If you want to have fun with procedural modeling, go for it. For more detailed models, I use 3D generators and let GPT handle the processing, rigging and animation. You don't need to burn tokens making it build every detail from scratch. I've spent the last six months putting this setup together. These are the tools I actually use for Blender, Unity, Godot and Unreal, including my 3D generation tools. Full breakdown:
