Make stylized fur and hair in Blender
YouTube video by Aaron Van de Weijenberg Make stylized fur and hair in Blender

Made a video showing how to make stylized fur in #blender3d 🎬

1. Disabled shadows
2. Use surface normals attribute in hair shader
3. Convert normal's object space to world space
4. Use Blended render method
5. Use color attribute on surface mesh for fur color

Template / viewport / final submission to the #rampagerally 3D challenge. Now I can resume a normal sleep schedule

Had to back out of Vulcan to OpenGL. It's just way too slow with EEVEE. Touch a shader node (which I'm doing hundreds of times) and it's a long wait to recompile. A shame. I really liked the viewport performance and fast initial load. #b3d

Great analysis, thanks. Have you tried Paint System? If so, where does that sit relative to these two?

Thanks! I'm hearing it as "YOO-chuh-paint"

Any DaVinci Resolve experts know how I can have non-destructive display transform in Fusion that lets me see what I'm doing in a format like AgX, but preserves all the underlying data for later grading in the Color tab?

Can you help settle a question: How do you pronounce ucupaint?

You-queue-paint
You-coo-paint
You-cuh-paint
Ooo-coo-paint
Uh-cuh-pai…

?

Thank you for framing it accurately rather than “tariffs on Japan and South Korea”

Interesting, I didn't even know that was a setting

First project with Blender 4.5 beta. Vulcan is much faster 🙌

Autokey Highlight is a must have #blender3d add-on. Puts a red outline around the viewport while auto keying is active. Saves you a river of tears when you blow up your animation because you forgot to turn auto keying off.

A probably little known fact about Flow that still blows my mind: There’s no compositing, according to @blender.org’s interview with @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social. What you see is a straight render from the shaders. A bit like recording a Grammy winning album with little to no mixing or mastering.

Watching Severance I noticed hex codes at the bottom of the Macrodata Refinement screens. Because I'm a big dork I noted them in scenes where they appear throughout season 1. Here are the colors they map to.

The animation director for Flow, Léo Silly Pélissier, made a guide for his team of 20 animators. Character refs, animation style, tools, etc. Really interesting to see how they organized the work. Half of the team never used Blender before.
