Yes. Super simple. The manual for the program is a great resource! Blender is amazing. I’m not the best person to ask as I don’t use it that often, but you can import BB models and animations into Blender as well.

This looks like Blockbech to me! Camera used to be a plugin but is now native!

Yes. This is completely possible!

Yes. Just no motion blur unless you add a plane, add texture, and animate the plane to squash and stretch via keyframes.

I generally export the main animation out from Blockbench, and lay in background elements in Aseprite afterwards. It’s just easier to control color counts in Aseprite, and it tends to do a better job with color compression than Blockbench does if you exceed to 256 limit with gifs. Hope that helps!

The main downside (upside for me) with Blockbench is its color limit of 256. It outputs as a .gif, and it doesn’t have a video encoder. So, you end up with visual jittering if you exceed 256 colors in a scene, which is why pixel art is best used there! Yes, I used Aseprite for my textures, and…

Hey! Thanks! I use Blockbench because of it’s mobility. I work on these on multiple computers throughout the week (home desktop, work laptop, etc.). Some of which cannot handle Blender. You can make short movies. Best to do it by making scenes independently and exporting out and piecing together.

I painted the Ocean View Hotel from GTA:Vice City. With process photos! #gta

The Graduate (1967) It’s my favorite movie, and it was popular in its time, but whenever I bring it up to anyone under the age of 70, they’ve never heard of it. Such a cool time capsule. Perfect amount of strangeness and humor.

I painted this Nintendo DS. Included some progress shots! #nintendods

Used to spend forever in the game aisle looking at box art. I’d get a game and look endlessly at the art in instruction booklets. Used to set the boxes on my bedroom window sill like posters. Been coming a while, but it’s sad to see that has almost finally vanished for kids who love art and games.

Watch Hoppers. It’s great. Totally underserved by its marketing.

Thanks! Just planes with some geometry added to bend things into shape.

I only remembered because I made it backwards initially and had to flip my model. 🥲

New one in the works. Especially proud of this one, because I’d never hand-animated a walk in 3D before. Learned a lot.

Thanks! It’s all done in Blockbench with textures being done primarily in Aseprite.

Working on my traditional painting skills this year. Here’s one.

Growing up, I constantly heard “art is a hobby not a job”. For some, things don’t have value without monetization. Corporations want you to feel that too. As a pro artist, the arts give a voice to the voiceless. They give a mind to the mindless. They unite us. Don’t stop. The value is beyond money.

The class agreed and started echoing with similar sentiments. I just felt some would find peace in knowing that kids care too.
