Check Out This Flapple Poison-Type 3D Reimagining Made in Blender

3D artist Amed Alexander Bueno Rodríguez created an animated reimagining of Pokémon's Flapple as a Poison-type character using Blender, ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, and Nuke. The project draws on Pokédex lore, replacing the mud bomb move with a purple liquid to reflect the Poison-type visual identity. Two rendered camera angles and process videos are shared.

Sculpting a Digital Athlete: Capturing Stefanos Tsitsipas Beyond the Court

A detailed breakdown of the 3D production pipeline used to create a digital character of tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas for an interactive website. The workflow covers photogrammetry scanning with ~70 cameras, UV optimization to consolidate multiple textures into a single set for WebGL, rigging via Mixamo, cloth simulation in Marvelous Designer, hair sculpting in ZBrush, texture baking with Redshift and Substance Painter, and animation optimization using shape keys. Key challenges included compressing a 14-day production into a tight schedule, replicating Tsitsipas' serve motion frame-by-frame, and exporting optimized animated models with cloth simulation for real-time WebGL rendering.

Hand Tracking Meets MPM Solver In Houdini

Senior Houdini FX Artist Alvaro Moreira is experimenting with hand tracking combined with MPM solver-based jelly-like fluid simulations in Houdini. He is using MANO for hand tracking and plans to release a full workflow breakdown and an HDA once the setup is stable. The project is still in development with limited details shared so far.

This Tool Brings Blender's Hotkey-Based Transform Workflow In UE5
