o-snap, hey JMC3D! :D awesome to see you here, I love your awesome toon-sculpts, and your Korra is looking great so far :) I really dig how you handled the face
All those color schemes on the circle make me think Loony Toons. :) But why limit yourself? Use several of them. Perhaps different color schemes represent different areas with differing gravitation and or air viscosity mmm?
ikran, it does not have to be just like the cartoon in order to be good , it just needs to be "good" looks like it will be bad to me, but most the things i think will suck about it are the same things i thought sucked about the toon,
One of the most interesting models I've seen recently. It's lacking some definition that some outlines might help (like maybe some sort of toon shader), but it actually reads surprisingly well even without it. Great job!
Small update: Today I attempted to tweak his face to look more like the reference or as close to the character's likeness from the anime. Any advice? Thanks :) The third picture was shopped to get a better "toon shading" effect.
Wowzers, I'm quite likin' the toony effects you got on this magnificent ice woman. How'd you get those outlines to function, anywho? Everything I've tried with Maya's toon outlines results in more or less of a mess.
Adam Phillips is a treasure sharing his knowledge and process in tutorials and on TWITCH. However he has described and demonstrated the limitations of normal mapping in Harmony elsewhere if not hinting at them in these tutorials. Normal mapping in general and the specific implementation of normal mapping in Toon Boom…
New toon materials for the models I've already made, a quick poster and a rigged Ultra Ball model for the animation. Next step is animating and compositing everything together, so hopefully next post I can share the finished result.
Even then, painting a texture from scratch instead of being "image manipulators". It looks awesome when people paint textures from scratch, even toon-ish textures look awesome. I am guilty of image manipulation :P.
Heres my final character sheet for this project. Im on winter break now, so I'm gonna take a break from this toon and maybe mess around on some old WIP's. Lemme know what you think! Thanks!
