How We Create 3D Assets & Animations in Blender

Overview

What Blender Is

Blender is a full-featured 3D suite used for modeling, texturing, animation, rendering, and compositing. It’s open-source and constantly evolving — supported by a huge global community of artists and developers.

We use Blender for 3D model creation, PBR material testing, and pre-visualization before exporting assets to Unity.

Why We Use Blender

• Free & open source: Professional-grade software with no licensing cost.
• Powerful pipeline: Supports modeling, UVs, sculpting, animation, and rendering in one app.
• Perfect for export: Smooth workflows into Unity, Unreal, or AR/VR tools.

Blender keeps our production self-contained — every asset is created, textured, and previewed in one unified environment.

How We Use It at OnTheCouchStudio

• 3D Asset Creation: Props, environment pieces, and character models for Unity projects.
• PBR Material Testing: Previewing our texture packs (metalness, roughness, normal maps, etc.).
• Animation & Rigs: Simple motion loops and avatar animations for LifeFused Labs and AI visuals.
• Render Previews: Cinematic shots for product pages and marketing materials.

Blender powers the visual identity of our studio — from realistic renders to stylized game-ready assets.

Pro Tips for Creators Using Blender

• Use Unity for real-time integration — keep scale, orientation, and materials consistent.
• Organize assets into collections for export efficiency.
• Install key add-ons: Node Wrangler, UV Toolkit, and Rigify.
• Render in Cycles for realism, or Eevee for speed when producing previews or animations.

Once your workflow clicks, Blender becomes a powerhouse — efficient, flexible, and endlessly customizable.
