Ask Panda Jenn is an ask blog by Jennifer Carnivele and recently I was a guest artist! This is my second contribution to this series (click here to see the first one). I had a wonderful time working on this and I'd very mcuh like to thank Jenn for the opportunity!
As I mentioned previously, I am helping Michael Cook with his fabulous web series, Chucky Chicken. We are very excited to announce that we now have a Kickstarter so please help us by backing this campaign or by sharing this post!
Chucky Chicken is an animated web series created by Michael Cook. I now have the privilege of telling you all that I am an animator for this awesome show! We want to get as much attention as we can so please take a moment to watch this video:
Years ago, I found out about Blender and thought I'd give it a try. Basically, I really wanted to be an animator and this was a free software so it seemed ideal. I downloaded it, took one look at the program and decided I didn't want to be an animator anymore.
Since then I have heard from hundreds of artists who praise Blender and talk about how user friendly it is and after investing in a new laptop with plenty of RAM and a decent graphics card, I decided to have a look at the Blender Guru tutorials on YouTube.
In level 1 of Blender Guru's class, he teaches you how to make a realistic looking CGI donut. It's a fun challenge because it's all about making the donut look as delicious as possible!
And here's me talking about what I've learned from that course:
Below are some of my own renders. Remember I'm still a beginner and I'm not exactly a well trained artist, it's really just my hobby. I hope Blender will help me get a better understanding of virtual realism and I'm hoping I'll learn a lot more over the next year. My goal is to eventually create a 3D model of one of my OCs!
Big shoutout to Andrew Price for his amazing tutorials. I have already learned so much about Blender thanks to him!
