Original post:
The last time I did something toon styled was about 3 years+ ago, so thought I’d join in and make something completely different for once “cute”… my girlfriend has been watching alot of anime lately, and I came across some bright, colourful, “cute” styled animated backgrounds for the characters (Himouto! Umaru-chan, YuruYuri, Lucky Star…).
Found an anime character model online (Credit: SEGA, Miracle Girls Festival, PlayStation Vita), started re-texturing it, began rigging, and painting weights for it in Blender.
Notice me senpai! uwu~

Started making a cell shading / toon post processing material. Created some hearts & triangles, added them into a UE4 Niagara system. The triangles have a pivot offset with a random initial mesh orientation around the character and scaling on the XYZ to create the effect that they’re shooting off.
Did a quick little animation of the character. Started texturing the hearts, and added a rotating glow.

Added some infinite background hearts plugged into a linear gradient that’s driven by the particle life time.
