"Funny Legs: a 2D show by a 3D animator" by Yana Zavialova at Blender Conference 2025

Funny Legs is an animated show on YouTube created entirely by one person, from modeling to render. In this talk, a 3D animator, Yana Zavialova, will tell how she has built an efficient pipeline that allows her to create a 1-minute episode in 2–3 weeks. She will share the Blender tricks (like rigging the color, using no lights in the scene, and mixing 3D with Grease Pencil) that helped to achieve an old-school 2D cartoon look.

"Facial Rigging for Stylized Character Animation" by Rik Schutte at Blender Conference 2025

At Blender studio, we're developing a new Character Asset: Storm. This session will be a walkthrough on how I've explored different ways of facial rigging for a stylized character and why I chose to do it this particular way. The class will highlight the wants and needs from the animator and how this applies to the facial rig setup. We'll go over the facial step by step by looking at the mouth, eyes, cheeks and eyebrows and explain the workflow and tooling for creating these setups. Each one of these has their unique approach and features provided for the animator in order to conviently work with it.

"Accessible Automated Pipelines for Small Teams" by Gregorio Guirado at Blender Conference 2025

This session explores how Blender became the core of a scalable VFX pipeline for a 2D animated feature. We’ll cover how a three-person team automated drop shadows, compositing setups, and cross-software integration across ~800 scenes—while tracking everything through custom spreadsheets and Flamenco. Real production numbers, working tools, scene studies and simple scripting approaches will be shared to help freelancers and small teams build efficient pipelines without deep programming knowledge.
