Trenches - Game development in Blender & Unity  @Imphenzia
Uploaded March 2023 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
50 axis soldiers vs 50 allied soldiers - a mini battle royale made in Blender and Unity over a few days. I needed to learn the Unity Animation Rigging package and refresh my modeling and animation skills in Blender and Unity - so I created this. A big thanks to my Patreons, without you, I could not do this and the Gamedev tier and up can download this Unity project.

Additional info:
I've been modeling in Blender since about 2015 but more recently in the past couple of years. I've been making games and assets in Unity since 2011 and I'm currently working on a multiplayer RTS game called Line war.

I use a Sony FX3 camera with a Sony FE 2.8/24-70mm GM lens. My main microphone is now the Shure SM7B and I use a Rode NTG3 shotgun mic if I need it to be out of view. I downgraded to a Focusrite Solo from my wonderful RME Fireface UFX II that I had to sell when I moved from Sweden.

Thanks a lot for watching and sharing my videos :)
