As with all things Blender, full credit and exultation goes to Blender God Ian Hubert and his awesome wavy grass tutorial on patreon. This first pass was way too photoreal so I had to do alot of tweaking to get things in style.

Plague Ratz #5: a day at the beach

For a change of pace, a more serene moment for the Plague Ratz.

I learned a ton creating this piece- everything from leveling up in After Effects to dealing with particles and force fields in Blender. With plenty of animating and compositing in between.

Shout out to the always awesome Ian Hubert for leading the way in all things Blender- his wavy grass was somehow the exact thing I needed right when I needed it.
