 Max Zombie!

 Quick animation showing the various coat outfits

Quick test of importing an animation. Was some errors loading (bones not found, maybe its the armature im using) But it seems to play ok with no glaring issues.    

Quick texture render test in Blender Eevee. Max in PJ's.😀 Hair is much more detailed with strands. Eyes are Unreal built in shader like previous games, so had to dodgy up a blender shader with mask.  Model comes with full head shape keys.

Forgot to upload this quick animation:

  Design process @DeckNineGames : Q: How to make #MaxCaulfield look different but still Max?  (Weeks of brain storming, hundreds of concept art designs)  A: Beanie..  Me: Shut Up And Take My Money!  Cant wait for more Max!    

Max never misses golden hour with rewind power. Just a short animation :) Done in Blender. Youtube link  

 Golden hour is best hour. Done in Blender.

Originally wanted a loop of Max and Chloe dancing, but got carried away :) Youtube link

 Just some test renders, will prob animate this when i get time.

 Short animation showing Max going through some emotional auras. Added a butterfly cause why not :)  

 Just some more colors.. Might see if i can animate it later.

 Into a 5 day covid lockdown here.. after 450 days without a case all it took was some fly in mine worker to screw us. Good news is i got the first dose phizer 2 weeks ago. Got some time to play some games and mess around in Blender.. Quick test.. Max's true colors effect?     

Made this small comic when LIS Before the Storm just released and we found out Chloe kept a diary.. only posted the first page and forgot to post rest.    

The girls having some fun. Youtube link Fun to setup in Blender. Using volume, translucency, particles, DoF, Cloth sim. Rendered in Eevee.  

 Happy Hellaween! Spoopy animated Max. Spoopy Max

Finally has some time the animate and render a longer version in Blender eevee. Tried out the new mantaflow sim for the steam.. worked well but is fiddly to get what you want. Youtube link: https://youtu.be/1nbLfH_BlKw LiS - Valentine Diner

Yeh i'm late, but its the thought that counts! 😅 Small section test render, as usual i went overboard and the final render would take a tad longer. 🤯 Diner Valentine

Happy new year 🎉.. traditionally late as i needed a few days to recover!:) Wanted to add some animated fireworks on a older static piece i did 2 years ago. Started off well and finished quickly.. then i started animating the characters and got carried away. All done in Blender using Eevee. Post in Premier. Higher rez video below  Some issues: Subsurf modifier makes the render speeds jump up astronomically. Went from 5 sec per frame.. to 30 sec per frame. Transparency modes other then clipped shows up in volumes. Odd reflection issues.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays.. Wanted to add some snow to a older static image.. Should of been quick and easy. It was done in Blender Cycles, but that was overkill for a image not requiring ray tracing. So quickly converted to eevee, added the falling snow, then i got carried away and animated everything :) Its a little rushed so may revisit to smooth it out and render in better resolution :) Higher rez video below..
