In recent years, Blender has increasingly cemented its role in professional, studio-level production pipelines for animation, modeling, rigging, and VFX, with its crowning achievement being Flow winning an Oscar last year. If you enjoyed the sequel to the first season of the Chainsaw Man anime series, you’ll be pleased to know that Blender was used in its production as well.
Mouse Computer, a Japanese PC manufacturer, recently spoke with Yusuke Tannawa and Takuma Sakamoto from MAPPA’s Osaka studio, who discussed the studio’s pipelines and the machines they use, noting that 3ds Max and Blender were among the main tools used in the Chainsaw Man movie.
