I'm Niall, I make mostly Blender stuff and I turn 2D concepts into 3D models.

Here's a quick WIP for my next video!

I haven't made a model in about 9 months so it's nice to be doing them again! #blender #b3d

I know I'm not too active here because I've been busy finishing this, but Adjustable Mannequin v1.3 is FINALLY finished!

I've added Adustable Fantasy Body Parts which allow you to easily create customisable Wings, Horns, Ears and Tails! #blender #b3d

I think this is my new favourite feature of the Adjustable Mannequin!

There are now dedicated breast bones so you can pose them, or use something like the Wiggle Bones addon to simulate gravity for more realistic results when posing or animating! #blender #b3d

I'm just about finished with v1.3 of my Adjustable Mannequin, so I decided to test it out by making a 3D reference for my Bulma drawing!

It stills take a lot of work to finish the drawing, but the mannequin provides such a solid base!

Drawing is SO difficult! I could probably model this in #Blender in a few days, but it took me equally as long to draw this!

I think my lineart isn't too bad, but my rendering is quite messy. Does anybody have any recommendations for learning how to shade/render?

Here's a showcase of all of the Adjustable Fantasy Body Parts that will be included as part of the new update for my Adjustable Mannequin!

The Fantasy stuff will also be available separately if you just wanted those! #blender #b3d

Working on finalizing the Fantasy update for my Adjustable Mannequin!

It's always fun seeing the different parts come together and how quickly you can visualise a concept! #blender #b3d

Here's some closeups because the video compression kills all of the details! The modelling was pretty basic but the textures really brought it to life! #blender #b3d

I'll be posting some of my old stuff in case people have never seen them, starting with this Link and Pikachu 3D model I made based on @trudicastle.bsky.social's awesome artwork!

The sketchy look was a lot of fun to recreate in 3D! #blender #b3d

I don't animate in the usual sense, but I do create turnarounds for all of my models! I do some basic animations for some of them, but mostly they're static!

I think it's time to finally be active on here!

I'm Niall and I (try to) make 3D models that look 2D using Blender!

I also make tools and other stuff to try and help 3D artists with making characters!

All of the images below are actually 3D models! #blender #b3d
