Here's an animation I made 3 years ago, inspired by Ponyo. It’s got a relaxing vibe. Thinking of making another.

Character design for my upcoming webcomic animations (or rather, motion comics). This is an early sketch, so I’m planning to refine the drawing.

My Technique for Creating Level design

I always spend a lot of time studying how old games are made, I especially like those with hand painted textures, particularly PS2 games (like FFXII, using a free camera and flying around). I love drawing, but I also enjoy the depth that 3D offers. So I'm learning how to combine both.

My architectural style is inspired by Belgium’s buildings. Like many places here, my city's buildings are a mix of traditional and modern features. What I like is that laissez-faire vibe, where everything is so mixed up it feels unique. 👇

Inspiration

I use Google Map to streamline my reference gathering process, eliminating the need to travel. I draw and paint each building's textures in Clip Studio Paint. Despite the diverse designs, these buildings often share a common structural base, with variations in details (brick or cement, colors, etc.) contributing to their distinct appearances (picture below).

Process

In Blender, I create a blockout of the street. Some shadows are painted directly onto the textures. I add a sunlight source to enhance the depth (though sometimes the light is painted too).

To transform my 2D drawings into 3D, I project my textures directly onto the 3D meshes and trim the parts I don't need. It's like drawing a house on paper and cutting out the shape.

I create edges around doors and windows, pushing them back to add depth. Since the camera doesn't move around, I don't need to be too precise. That’s it for now. Thank you for reading!

Sincerely yours, Reinhard.

I hope you like this cute little family animation.

I wanted to make a weird animation about a doctor.

How I Create 3D Anime Characters.

I draw the face in Clip Studio Paint. In Blender, I use the drawing as a reference to model the head.

The head is a mid-poly mesh. The hair, eyes, ears, and mouth are planes with transparent PNG textures. This means the trick is visible when rotating the head, but I use camera constraints to minimize it.

The skin, shadows, and black hair are painted in Blender. I used a $2 add-on called "PSD Layers" to separate my colors onto different layers. The outline is the only generated effect.

Thank you for reading!

Sincerely yours, Reinhard.
