AN ARTIST BUILDING FOR ARTISTS
Hi, I’m Hwayoo.
A CG artist in Seoul, working with Blender and Houdini.
Building the bridge I wanted in my own workflow.
Blendini is an after-hours project. Your feedback keeps it grounded.
Your coffee helps keep it moving.
Patreon supports development. Software access and future paid learning resources are not implied by a contribution.
A few things to know.
Can I download Blendini today?
Not yet. This site showcases the development build. Apply through the Instagram signup post to join the first 100 testers.
Will it be free?
The intended model is a free core, with optional support, tutorials and separate resources. Final release terms and licensing will be published before distribution.
Which versions and operating systems are supported?
The compatibility list is still being tested. Confirmed Houdini and Blender versions, operating systems and hardware requirements will be published with tester instructions.
Is this an official Blender or SideFX product?
No. Blendini is an independent project by Hwayoo. Blender and Houdini are products of their respective organizations. No affiliation or endorsement is implied.
