Saint Seiya

As part of my Blender learning journey I decided to model some characters and texture them all inside Blender. It’s still a work in progress that I am working on in my free time.

I chose Saint Seiya, my favourite anime growing up.

The models are based on Thiago Krening's 2D drawings. Check his work out!

Discovering Blender

I started learning blender to teach it to my Digital Design students at Wellspring Learning Community. I wanted the students to learn about open-source software and what is achievable using free applications and online communities.

Really impressed with Blender's real-time render engine Eevee and these test below are part of a series of exercises for students to learn shaders and materials.
