Harry Potter funart with Texture Paint magic

Hi! I had a lot of fun modelling, painting, rigging, and animating this Knight Bus. Here are the main points of my process:

  • I was able to draw all these windows on mesh with Alpha Texture Paint (thanks to Deep Paint Addon) and put around 8 point lights on each floor. There are almost transparent meshes inside the bus that imitate glass and create this glow from the light sources.
  • I used Grease Pencil to create the dark outline and the inscription (with small Noise) and to animate the curtains (3 frames + Time Offset modifier to loop animation).
  • The road's width is animated with Shape Keys.
  • The main body of the bus, the wheels, and the triangle lights are squashed and stretched with the Stretch To Constraint on the bones.
