ENSŌ Engine 1.0 Beta is a free custom build of Blender for artists making anime-style characters, environments, and animation. Mix 3D, a 3D artist based in Japan, built it to gather native NPR nodes, ink effects, hatching, outlines, curvature masks, and compositing tools into one Blender environment after years of separate shaders, tools, and assets. Earlier ENSO materials already cover anime cel, manga ink, crosshatching, pencil, and halftone looks in Eevee and Cycles, and they keep a character's existing base colors. Anime Sky Pro, also from Mix 3D, builds animated skies and scene lighting inside Blender, including day and night cycles aimed at Ghibli and Makoto Shinkai style scenes. The optional ENSŌ NPR Pack, a one-time purchase with lifetime updates that eligible Patreon members can unlock, adds 19 anime cel shader styles, Anime Sky Pro, stylized oceans, rain, motion trails, anime smear effects, and camera flattening without losing shading. Mix 3D is still developing features for anime characters, lighting, and animation. The free engine is the beta, and the paid pack holds the fuller set of add-ons, shaders, and assets.
