Description:
If you liked this, I'd highly recommend visiting my website. It has more models to download!
NOTE: This model is still a Work in Progress. I still have to finish the facial rig, and correct the weighting on the legs.
Shape Keys control the direction Gumball is facing. Have fun animating!
I created this character as an ongoing venture into Freestyle to utilize 3D elements to create a 2d world. I also submitted this blend to the blender Subreddit for the October Contest. https://www.reddit.com/r/blender/comments/56v5uf/october_contest_gumball_wattersonfrom_tawog/
Post from the Blender Subreddit: Recently I have been trying to incorporate 3d into the 2d realm. Experiments with 3D objects and Freestyle have led me to produce this. I've tried many techniques and strategies to perfect the 2d look, and have succeeded in some cases while created workarounds for others. After attempting to create Nano from the Japanese animation Nichijou in Blender, I moved onto something I thought would be comparatively easier to create: Gumball. That show is an interesting blend of 3d and 2d art. The characters themselves most of the time never leave a sideways orientation, and appear to be 2D. The background however, is clearly 3D. Normally, that would create a clash in viewpoints, but TAWOG mixes the two dimensions perfectly. Now for the model itself. As Gumball stays in the same orientation most of the time, I thought it appropriate to simply create a 2d projection of him in a 3d space. Using bezier curves I modeled his face and body, including his clothes. His arms are the most dynamic part of his body, so I decided to model those in 3d. Although his arms are 3d, the average viewer doesn't notice because the rest of his body is 2d. Now for animation. Gumball has a very simple rig that gives users control of his legs, arms, and facing direction. I created shape keys to flip his legs and torso according to the direction he is facing. That way, He won't always be locked into looking to the right. His facial rig isn't quite done yet; I haven't created a rig for his mouth, and the rest of the rig relies on manual translation. However, as his face has almost no need to deform other than when he is shouting or smiling wide, there isn't much of a need for a rig with deforming armatures. The outlines of his eyes, face, and other features are generated by Freestyle. There is still much to be finished/improved upon, but I'm pretty happy with what I have now.

Written October 20, 2016Hm. That is interesting. There a few things that might be happening: 1)Are you in the right blend file? Serious question, it's happened to me before haha. 2)Are you on the right layer? The main rig is on layer one. You could look it up if you don't know how to change them. 3)Are you in the Blender Internal renderer? NPR renders often work better in Non Photorealistic render engines, so this is built on the now nearly deprecated internal. 4)Do you have the most recent stable build of blender?
Other than these things, I don't know how I could help you. Let me know if this works, though. If anyone else is having problems, please feel free to comment below. :-)

Written January 17, 2020How about you can do a 2D rig of Cricket Green from Big City Greens. Here are some images from the show featuring him if you want to use them as reference points. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/countryclub9732/images/3/36/Cricket-green-big-city-greens-81.4.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20200106215911 https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/countryclub9732/images/f/f9/Vlcsnap-2019-12-17-15h29m43s115.png/revision/latest?cb=20191217204142 https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/countryclub9732/images/3/31/Vlcsnap-2020-01-06-17h20m09s654.png/revision/latest?cb=20200106222232 https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/countryclub9732/images/5/51/Vlcsnap-2020-01-14-20h55m35s424.png/revision/latest?cb=20200115022529 https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/countryclub9732/images/f/f5/F95F6CB4-3A75-49A9-9A87-685F53251965.png/revision/latest?cb=20180128231512 If you haven't watched the show, here is a link to this YT channel: youtube.com/channel/UCsXlCr3-08MVwykHGnfr_mg

Written October 27, 2025No fim de semana passado, um amigo comentou sobre um site de jogos online que ele andava testando, então resolvi entrar no https://highflybet.com.pt.pt por curiosidade. Gostei logo de cara do visual simples e da forma como as partidas funcionam. Fiz umas jogadas rápidas e acabei ganhando um pequeno valor — nada enorme, mas suficiente para me deixar animado. Agora entro de vez em quando, só para relaxar depois do trabalho e me divertir um pouco.

Written December 19, 2025Another critical point to consider is the school’s track record. Reputation, student success rates, and job placement assistance are key indicators of whether a cdl training nj program will meet your career goals. Start CDL, for instance, is known for its qualified instructors, state-of-the-art facilities, and focus on preparing students for real-world trucking jobs. Their programs are designed to give beginners the confidence and knowledge they need to succeed in a competitive industry.

Written January 12, 2026This is such a cool experiment with Freestyle! Nailing that 2D look within a 3D space is tough, but your approach—mixing the 3D arms with the 2D projected body—is really clever. It captures the TAWOG aesthetic perfectly since the show is already such a unique blend of styles. The use of shape keys to handle the facing direction is a smart workaround, too. Speaking of spending a lot of time behind a screen working on projects like this, I recently stumbled upon a really useful tool called the Healthy Choices Quiz. It’s way more in-depth than the usual generic health surveys. It evaluates 7 different dimensions of your lifestyle—including modern factors that affect us artists like digital fatigue, screen time, and sleep hygiene. It only takes about 8 minutes and gives you a comprehensive score out of 100 completely for free (no sign-up required). It’s a great way to check in on your wellbeing while you grind on these models. Anyway, looking forward to seeing the update when you finish the facial rig. Keep up the great work!

Written January 19, 2026A rigged Gumball Watterson model is perfect for smooth animation and expressive poses, making creative projects much easier and more fun. Choosing the right rig is all about balance and usability—just like selecting a dining table and 6 chairs set, where everything needs to work together seamlessly for the best result.
