Cute Animation of Anime Girl on Train with Fish-Eye Effect Made in Blender
A new work by CG DASH.
Virendra Kumar, a 3D artist also known as CG DASH, created a short animation distorted by a fish-eye effect in Blender. The anime-like scene shows a girl with a cat in her bag on a train.
The adorable cat was done by Sumineko_BeBe, another great artist who works in a similar style.
The animation took some time, partly due to Kumar struggling with the fish-eye effect. "I tried to use the Lens Distortion node in the Blender comp, but it was not good enough, " he said. "I asked in a Blender sub for help, and they suggested that I should render the scene first, then in a new file project the render onto a sphere object and render it again to get the effect."
This, unfortunately, didn't work: "when you do that, you have to crop a massive chunk out of the render, so I needed to adjust the camera so I could get the crop I wanted, but I did not want to move or zoom the camera. So someone suggested to me the “Overscan” add-on. It extends the camera bounds without moving the camera, so I did that and it solved my issue."
The artist has many fascinating projects on Reddit and X/Twitter, like his entry for Pwnisher's challenge, this retro controller, and anime character.
