Made this silly viral video for my instagram @farkin_around. Slowly getting better at lighting and animation.

Still working on this cat, and now has a way to dilate his eyes, next is adding fur..

If you’re new to character animation in Blender, rigging can be a frustrating hurdle. I made an add-on that turns a character model into an animation-ready rig in seconds.

This is self-promotion, but I built it to solve a problem I know many new 3D artists run into. i know i did as a new artist You can check it out on Gumroad.

So how do you animate that in Blender while staying true to the piece? Well, it's ALWAYS a compromise. A big hold up in the process is trying to stay as true as possible while giving each element some character through movement that isn't the object floating in place. A happy balance of mostly stationary objects for your eyes to settle on and moving parts to convey your eyes to the next part. All wrapped up in an 8 second loop too (this one is 16 seconds but cutting that down is a necessity for releases and saving your hardware).

Each part of the painting needs to be evaluated as a singular frame in time, making each piece need to return to it's starting position, or move "out of frame". Defining the loops for each piece is typically the time consuming part... Some of the objects are hard to fathom in a 3D euclidean environment and some simply are impossible (or far too complex to animate by hand without painting every frame). It's arguably more difficult to do this than to just make a composition from scratch cause you don't need to define the shapes of each puzzle piece while putting it back together.

Once the "moving sculpture" is complete, it's just a matter of flying a camera through, framing shots, and a whole lotta rendering! Then all the pretty people in the crowd get to see the visual pack ripped live on the big screens. They can also be remixed so many different ways to fit various vibes and it's hella fun to mix with!

Stay creative all!

My Product Animation SHOWREEL is HERE!!

3 Years of learning blender, before that I was doing voxel art and transition wasn't hard but mentally to lear new software where you didn't knew where the future could lead you is gamble but I loved working on each project either it's personal/client work

I would love if you can share what you think like/comment which helps me a lot •ᴗ•

Hi everyone! I’d like to share one of my recent automotive 3D projects — the 2026 Zeekr 9X.

The model includes a detailed exterior and full interior. I spent a lot of time working on the front grille, wheels, dashboard, displays, seats, door panels and cargo area.

For those working with detailed vehicle models in Blender, how do you usually organize and optimize all the interior components for better viewport performance?

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome. Thank you!

Hi,

I'm a self taught 3D Environment artist! I started learning about a little bit more than a week ago and i wanted a review, some feedback or any tips !!

Here is my portfolio : https://www.artstation.com/nojg

I think i'm doing pretty good since prior this i had almost zero blender experience. Thanks in advance, open to any critics!! ^^

I haven't done my own models yet, i use 3D Scans but today is the day i will start learning how to properly model props for environments!! (well i hope i'll achieve what i want because 3D modeling feels sooo frustrating lol)

Everything i post ends up in a giant flame ball. Hopefully this one is ok.

Bonjour, je fait de la réalisation sur Davinci Resolve, After Effect, photoshop depuis plus de 10 ans maintenant. Je me suis mis à Blender il y a deux semaines. J'ai réussis avec une formation accéléré YouTube en autodidacte à créer cette première scène qui est censé représenter la palissade de Labyrinthe le film dont je me suis inspiré, j'ai aussi créer le couloir avec diverses entrées puis les couloirs et enfin la grande plaine. Bref, je demande de l'aide car j'ai besoin de vous pour deux questions : 1 - Comment apporter plus de réalisme ? J'ai utiliser des textures avec l'application : Blendkit et AmbientGG mais comme vous pouvez le voir on a toujours cette impression jeux vidéos et non pas réalisme comme j'ai pu le constater dans d'autres créations. Et 2 - Comment exporter rapidement en perdant le moins de qualité notre projet pour du montage vidéo ensuite ? Quels sont les réglages préférence et dans Output properties à mettre pour optimiser la rapidité et le rendu qualité ? Je précise mon système : je suis sous windows 11 , Carte Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti , CPU Intel-core I5 14600-K. Merci d'avance à toutes âmes charitable qui pourra m'aider.

Hi there!

Please let me know if this isn't the place for this.

Using my long experience with website development and Blender, I've created an interactive website where you can learn how to make 3D models in Blender, step by step.

It's still under development, so there might be a few bugs, but you can try it here if you like: https://www.fabler.eu/blender_3d_lessons.html

Please give me any feedback here, if you have any. ^^
