As many of you have requested I am doing a breakdown of a recent 3D animation I did for a video of mine. More specifically, we will be taking a look at how to create an overgrown look in Blender. This an be done to text or any object for that matter. It’s a lot simpler than it looks, especially when using amazing assets. As always, thank you for watching!
