In recent years, I've explored unique and accessible ways to translate iconic anime backgrounds into 3D. Unlike traditional anime workflows using Blender, this approach doesn't rely on Grease Pencil, shader tricks, or hand-drawn effects. Instead, I reimagine the aesthetic through purely 3D techniques using creative workarounds within Eevee's limits. In this talk, I will share how I recreated Akira's iconic backgrounds, lessons learned, and my future goals.
I'm a digital artist with over 13yrs experience in illustration and animation. My focus in recent years has been creating 3D artwork using Blender, specifically in Eevee. I use these tools to bring my ideas to life through animation and cinematic storytelling.
