I also come to the same realisation recently, in a way it’s easier and more forgiving to create stylized stuff.

And I love Ucupaint and various shader techniques one can do in Blender. That will become even better once NPR branch will be finalised and merged to main.

I am working on this right now. It’s a lot of fun and this particular style is very forgiving when it comes to topology 😅🙈 It’s a combination of procedural and manual modelling and amazing @doublegum.bsky.social and @sanctusxyz.bsky.social materials.

WIP of Christmas wish, struggle to finish it up. Not sure what to put into the background 😔

Amazing 😊👍

Whenever I see renders like this I think that I can do easily the same and I am excited to try just to realize hours later that I don’t know how to do it and end up with something much complicated and uglier 😂

Any tips/tricks on how to achieve similar results? Or is it just experience?

And still image of the same, as the video compression makes it look a bit ugly...

Original sculpted model.

Note: the hat, text on it and the star are sculpted but the rest is procedural.
