Today, let’s revisit the portfolio of 3D NPR Artist Virendra Kumar, also known as CGDASH, and learn what one of our favorite creators has been up to in recent months.
For those unaware, Virendra specializes in making marvelous anime-style 3D renders, most often depicting typical day-to-day activities and cozy environments. To create them, the artist uses a standard version of Blender without third-party plug-ins, rendering the sequences at a speed of 6-12 FPS on an RTX 3060 GPU, making the animations nigh-indistinguishable from real 2D art.
Virendra’s works first caught our attention back in September, when the artist unveiled an impressive stylized cracking egg animation, created in Blender using the Solidify Modifier and the “shader to RGB method” for cel-shading. Since then, the artist’s impressive collection of 2D-like renders has notably expanded, with CGDASH consistently revealing new and marvelous artworks every few days.
Here are some of the author’s most recent works:
