I recently switched to Blender, so here’s my new method of modeling Metalheart abstracts!
1. Start with a simple Mesh - You can use anything, an Ico Sphere, Cylinder, or in this case, a Suzanne.
2. Enter Edit mode, and begin randomly selecting faces on the object. I like to subdivide these faces, re-position them, and arbitrarily rotate them.
3. If you want the tattered / shredded look, you should arbitrarily select faces and delete them as shown.
4. The primary object modifiers I like are Subdivision and SimpleDeform, these are very similar to what I’m used to in Cinema4D and are what has helped the transition the most! Twist and Bend.
5. Duplicate the mesh around, rescale, and repeat the above steps!
That’s purely for the geometry, I’ll dive deeper into shading later. However, for starters, I love using Add Shader and mixing Glass BSDF with Principled BSDF. Fresnel on Base Color and Alpha work really well when applied to either.
Spawn a sun light, adjust the angle, and set the camera’s focal length to be really low, 5mm - 10mm.
I use the Cycles renderer, but Eevee seems to provide similar results depending on your shading/material.
That’s the gist! I’ll go into further detail on YouTube as always.

@nhricher @sachinyadav699 You can't run the good ones unless you have a home setup of 4-5k $ with multiple H100s or equivalent gpus.

@almmaasoglu I love it!
I will mention that there is a time limit. I imported a 20 second video and wasn't able to export until I shortened it to 8 seconds.

Lots of discussion under this post about “AI”, so just to clarify:
Cascadeur’s ML is trained only on our own Xsens-recorded mocap and animation data.
It runs locally and just fills the in-betweens - the acting and style are entirely yours.
No scraped or third-party datasets.

These are just 2 Keyframes. #AI did the rest. @cascadeur3d just released an impressive update that adds to the AI interpolation features that run locally on your PC 🤯. I am not an animator but creating a walk cycle took me literally 20 seconds... and the majority of that time was spent understanding how to add a new keyframe.

@vanatice I see this album as a showcase so I kind of expected these types of tracks.
