"Hello there! We are YONK, the 3D animation studio that specialises in using Virtual Reality Sculpting software to craft visually striking artworks, animations and character designs. Our innovative approach to this technology has resulted in a unique style that seamlessly combines raw, childlike sculpting with polished, vibrant veneers. Our goal is to break free from traditional 3D norms and craft work that's playful, maximalist and delightfully strange." - YONK ONLINE

In this episode, Jamie chats with Vikki Young and Niels van der Donk to discuss discuss starting their Netherlands-based animation studio, YONK, and their decision to use VR sculpting as the cornerstone of their creativity.

Discover how YONK produces unique and captivating animations with VR sculpting in Blender, accelerating their creative process by tenfold.

Get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how they crafted a puppet rig in Blender using VR and designed an innovative car rig powered by geometry nodes and an Xbox controller.

This episode offers great insights into using VR as a creative tool, the power of Blender 3D, and developing a unique artistic style.
