I made a Golden Retriever. I went for a low poly stylized style. I modeled it off a reference image. All in all, it took about an hour and a half. Any advice?

Been creating these animations by exporting 3D printer GCode and visualizing it in blender via a python script. Tried stacking two of the shapes which created an intersting look.

A personal series I made between client jobs. I wanted to capture studio glass right at the moment it’s still molten but starting to set, so every shape is modelled to look like it just stopped moving.

Modelled and rendered in Blender

In love with hand painted textures. Almost all of it done in blender texture paint, although sometimes it’s easier to paint in procreate (just painting the png map itself)

I have traditionally utilized Blender for character design and animation; however, I am currently diversifying my artistic skillset by exploring 2D creative workflows.

I thought Blender would suck, but honestly, aside from a few minor stuff, it ran pretty smoothly.

A VFX breakdown from my music video "The River, the Shore".

2+ years in the making, the full music video combines real footage with Blender composited in After Effects and Resolve - with many of the scenes being fully CG!

Full music video in the link below:

Let me know what you think :)

No generative AI was used for this work.

I've shared a few bits of this recently and some people wanted a longer look. Its called Blackstar Lullaby, an animated pilot I've been meaning to make for years.

This is a minute of the shots so far, in no particular order. The train shot is the latest addition. Seeing them together, I'm starting to recognise the thing I've had in my head. Still a lot to work out.

Created this abandoned farmhouse environment in Blender, including the house, weathering, damaged materials, wrecked car, and surrounding vegetation.

Need Help! How could i go about UV unwrapping this?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I'm working on a Mexican house with these intricate fences that will eventually and hopefully find it's way to Unreal Engine. Before I do that, I would love to take this model over to Substance Painter to give it a fresh coat of paint, I'm aware that before I do that, I should prepare a model by properly UV unwrapping. My question is, how would I go about UV unwrapping something like this, or do I have to suffer through selecting and making individual edges? (I'm clearly new to this) Any advise would be welcomed.

Yes it is a 4mins long, but it is useful for converting a motion path to curve.

In this example I am using it to make my swipe animation work with my geo nodes setup.
