What if you could get a beautiful, fully animated ANIME SKY and cinematic lighting in Blender with just ONE CLICK? ☁️ Well, that's exactly what Anime Sky Pro does! I made this One Piece Marine ship animation in the middle of the ocean, and guess what? I didn't have to worry about the sky or lighting AT ALL! I only had to work on the ship, ocean, and foam. Anime Sky Pro handled the entire sky and lighting setup! And the best part? The skies are ANIMATED! Beautiful moving clouds, gorgeous colors, a full day and night cycle, and that dreamy atmosphere you see in Studio Ghibli and Makoto Shinkai movies. All customizable, high quality, and incredibly easy to use. Seriously, if you're an anime or NPR artist, this add-on can save you so much time while making your environments look absolutely beautiful. Stop spending hours setting up skies and lighting. Spend that time creating your world instead! Grab Anime Sky Pro now and enjoy lifetime updates as usual.

I feel like I haven't promoted Kiseki nearly enough, and honestly, this add-on deserves WAY more attention. If you love those beautiful motion trails you see in anime and games, you seriously need to try this! Kiseki 軌跡 creates animated VFX trails for swords, bullets, cars, character movements, and pretty much anything that moves fast or swings. And it's not just another basic trail generator. You get 23 trail styles, customizable presets, live controls, sparks, glow effects, and a system that automatically follows your animations. Whether you're making anime animations, stylized VFX, or working on an indie game, Kiseki can make your movements and attacks look so much better. I'm genuinely proud of how good and stable this add-on has become, and I really wish more artists knew about it. And guess what? There's a FREE version! Not a limited-time trial. You can actually use it for free. But Kiseki Pro is on another level! It comes with so many more styles, controls, and cool features to experiment with. Seriously, give it a try. I think you'll love what you can create with it.

Also, if you somehow haven’t found my YouTube channel yet 😶‍🌫️ It’s packed with tutorials about anime/NPR rendering, cel shading, stylized VFX, shaders, environments and pretty much any stylized Blender idea I have in mind.

You might find exactly the technique or setup you were searching for. Arigato for all the support. youtube.com/@mix3design?si=-… #b3d #Blender3D #NPR #CelShading #Anime #3DCG #VFX #Gamedev

Imagine playing piano here. Made this little anime-style scene in Blender with my Anime Grass System for the grass and flowers, and Anime Sky Pro for the sky. Really happy with how the colors and lighting came together. #b3d #Blender #3dcg #NPR #anime

Made this little anime scene in Blender. A piano sitting in a huge field of grass and flowers, with everything moving under a bright summer sky. The grass and flowers are from my Anime Grass System, and the sky is using the new Anime Sky Pro. I really like how this one turned out. It feels simple, calm, and straight out of an anime shot. Would you guys like to see a breakdown of how I built this scene? #b3d #Blender3D #NPR #3DCG #Anime #AnimeArt #IndieAnime #EnvironmentArt #AnimeBackground #StylizedArt #Animation #ghiblistudio #makotoshinkai

Two new Anime Sky Pro presets are in the works, both focused on those huge cinematic anime clouds. The first is a fully procedural cloud, using depth/parallax tricks to give it much more volume and a stronger 3D feel. The second is image-based. Drop in your own PNG cloud and use the base color, highlight, shadow and depth maps to control how the light reacts to it. So even though the source is just an image, you can push the shading much further and make it sit naturally inside the scene. I’m still improving both, but I’m really happy with where they’re going.
