A word of warning—the chill nostalgia of ’90s anime from this vaporwave-inspired Blender tutorial may make you feel old.
It’s odd to think about, but for many of us of a certain age, the only true look back into a particular period and style is from the films and shows from that era that we consume. For example, while I grew up with VHS and DVDs, I was just past the time of Betamax. But, I knew what one looked like because I also grew up watching shows like Cowboy Bebop (which features an entire episode with a Betamax as a central part of a storyline).
These specific anime styles can be filled with nostalgia, as well as wonderment for a bygone era you might not have even known. Let’s check out how VFX artist Jack McVeigh lays out his process behind his popular jackmcv.art Instagram profile to learn the subtle nuances of recreating this ‘90s anime style.
And, no matter your fandom, you can also learn a thing or two about composition, even if you aren’t an animator.
