Re: What do I need to do this?
@Guapamolee you're in luck, there's tons of reference online on how to make 3D anime characters. You just need to know where to look: SketchFab, to inspect model wireframes and textures: https://sketchfab.com/xkungwork Collectible figures, for reference on how to sculpt something that was originally 2D only:… -
Need to improve on art quick
Hi! Any tips for someone who wants to improve my handpainted art quickly? I am improving way WAY too slowly. For example, this is something I made after practicing on and off handpainted art after a year. Nowhere NEAR where I want to be. I need help to stop being shit so I can move on to learning other parts of 3DCG. Will… -
Re: How does your 2D education help you as a 3D Artist
Without wanting to constantly say the same shit, the way i understood your argument Oxy was that; If you can model something, 3DCG or traditional you can therefore draw it in 2D just as well because you need the same understanding to do both? Because thats what I and, i think, muzz were trying to argue - not that the same… -
Re: DeepPaint... Does it still exist/work?
Well, as I said, I haven't done much projection based stuff at all since I created this thread. There's plenty of options, as discussed in the thread, each with their own pros/cons. ZBrush projection painting works awesome with Photoshop CS4, really smooth and you don't get the annoying layer issue you get with 3DC. Of… -
Re: Learning the Nintendo style
If you're interested in technical detail, SEGA released an in depth article about how they made Sonic on 360/PS3. http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/series/3dcg/110682.html Of course, it all comes down to art style in the end, the above is just one way they combined the two. If anything, if you're stumped on ideas on how… -
Re: New to 3D - 5 months to become job ready
You need to focus in on what direction you want to go in. It's unclear if you're now going for game art or something else; your portfolio is all over the place and reflects that. There are many types of jobs when it comes to 3DCG as you've noticed. Hone in on the job you want, learn the relevant skills and programs of that… -
Re: Normal Maps Again
In the low-end ps2_0 profile you have 64 ALU instructions, 3dc/NM take 2 more (if you renormalize already, 4 more if you don't). 4 instructions is not a lot, however it could exceed those 64 if shaders are at limits already. This case is unlikely, and by the sound of it your programmer has some unknown other reason being… -
Re: New 3D sketching software, critiques and testers welcomed!
For what it's worth, one thing that got a lot of people excited a couple years ago was Iheartsketch, which unfortunately never came out : https://vimeo.com/1669862 It is a bit different from your tool, but I think it is a good example of the kind of innovative creation software that the community here might be interested… -
Re: Character Warrior [3dsmax]
yeah I bought the ntny book, the CD and pictures really give everything you ever wanted to know about how to model for ps2 spec... I just need time to sit down and actually do more... I also picked up the 3dcg book by isao, it's pretty good, but not quite as awesome as the ntny book. I'd really like to find a book by the… -
Re: Character / 3d texturing software of choice?
+1 for 3dcoat! I actually really like painting on flat UVz, but bouncing back and forth between 3dc and photoshop is super easy, just hit ctrl+p in 3dc and it pops your texture with layers into photoshop, ctrl+s and it updates in 3dc. When you throw adjustment layers and masks into the mix it gets weird, and I don't think…
