- Blender Tutorials - Behind the Scenes - 2 June 2021
Hello there! It’s been a while! As always, I have many new things to share with you, and not enough time to write about it! But one thing at a time 😀! Today I share a few Blender video tutorials I’ve made while creating Slide Animal Race. It’s the making-of of the penguin character, from scratch to the final asset. Each video is 10-15mn long and present a single stage of the creation : modeling, texturing, rigging and animation. The final asset in game: a cool penguin The audio is in French (so you can hear my beautiful voice 🤔), but hopefully, the video process is pretty much self explanatory so it can be understood by everyone. So here are the 4 videos: I hope you’ll like it! Peace! PS: i'm also working on new content for the game, but more on that later!
