Breakdown: Old Windmill

Bart ·
Eerie, dilapidated windmill house surrounded by power lines and bare trees under a dark, cloudy sky.

Tomek Napierała shares a quick breakdown video of his NPR style ‘Old Windmill scene.

This scene is a continuation of my efforts to emulate a 2D look with 3D graphics. Despite a few flaws, I’m really happy with how this whole thing turned out. I learned a lot of new things and improved my skills in modeling, texturing, animation, etc.

I started this project as a testing ground for a new add-on I bought for Blender called Deep Paint. I hadn’t planned to do anything more than test a few tools, but then this weird building started to emerge from it, so I decided to go with the flow.

Also check out Tomek’s other works in this style on Blender Artists to learn more about his technique.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
