The Blender Cloud character Rain finally gets a counterpart: Snow! And to make this even more exciting and informative, you can watch the character creation live on the Blender Studio YouTube channel and new Timelapses and more for the Stylized Character Workflow training series!

Ever since the creation of Rain was kicked into action, it was planned that if the opportunity presents itself that we will expand the lineup of open source character rigs. Last year, right before the pre-production of Sprite Fright started, I already got to work on the concept and 3D design of Snow. All this was recorded and can now be accessed as time-lapses on the Stylized Character Workflow training, including .blend files and more WIP material.

But there's still lots to do! And what better way to show this in an open way than via regular live streams each Thursday! This will start with the retopology and then go even further into more topics until the character is completed. These live streams will also be added to the training course to be accessed right here on the Cloud.
