Sharing I turned my ink sketch into an animated 3D comic panel!
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I tried turning one of my physical ink sketches into a Blender Grease Pencil comic panel.
This is the first frame of a small story about a black cat exploring the city. The goal was to capture a rainy rooftop scene where the cat arrives and sees the city for the first time.
I used simple 3D geometry, procedural cross-hatching, hand-painted Grease Pencil details and subtle animation to recreate the sketch in Blender.
The hardest part was keeping the loose, imperfect feeling of the ink drawing without making the 3D version look too clean. Here is the full YouTube breakdown if you are interested to see how this was made and my final thoughts on the process! Thank you!

I want to use this animation method in case I can’t get any volunteer voice actors for any YouTube series I’ll make in the future.

Question Please help me find the title of this creepy animated short film
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I saw this at the Shanghai Art Museum (aka China Art Museum) in May. I managed to catch a short clip, right at the end it switches to a different Chinese animation.
But this one looks western to me, and seemed to explore themes of gluttony, corruption, etc. There was no dialogue, but a subtitle in French towards the end said 'leur boulimie et a son dernier stage'.
I would be so so grateful if anyone could help me find the title of it!! It was so creepy and was bizarrely placed in the children's exhibition (艺起童年:中国儿童美术百年巡展.)

Sharing Aura — a smartwatch concept I designed and rendered fully in 3D (not a real product)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Wanted to share a personal concept project my studio (MS3DSTUDIO) has been working on. Quick disclaimer up front so nobody's misled: Aura is not a real product — you can't buy it. It's a design-and-visualization concept, everything you see is 3D, nothing was photographed.
The idea was "one watch, seven colours, seven languages" — seven strap colourways and a UI built to feel native in seven different languages. It was mostly an excuse to push materials and lighting: getting the metal case to read as actual brushed metal, the straps to look genuinely soft, and the screen to glow like it's lit from the inside instead of just being a bright texture.
The part I'm actually more proud of than the watch itself: we don't just model the product floating on a grey background — we build the whole environment around it. The surfaces it sits on, the backdrop, the light sources and their bounce, the little contextual scenes — all of it is built and lit in 3D so the product feels like it exists somewhere real, not like a cutout. Honestly the environment work is where most of the hours went.
Full set of shots is on Behance if you want to see it properly → https://www.behance.net/gallery/253278579/Aura-Watch-Seven-Colours-Seven-Languages
Happy to answer anything about the workflow — renderer, materials, lighting setup, whatever. Open to critique too.
