And an artist who can hand sculpt 3d likeness, and has experience working with scan data would be more valuable than either. The more tools you know the better, again, working with scan data is just another tool.
i am not looking down on anything, i am just being brutally honest. it would be dishonest not to admit that 3d scanning is a cheaper and faster alternative to human artists. that is why it is done in most cases because it makes sense to producers from a budget stand point. as for no.1 most 3d scanning vendors now days…
yet again you fail at understanding. go back and read my posts again. i never said there is NO merit to 3d scanning. it requires a good scanning technician to output clean scans and it has its own use and purpose, like it is great for learning and reference in general. also in this case it is cheaper and faster to get good…

true but irrelevant to this discussion. are you talking from personal experience or just guessing ? unless you are talking about the actual 3d scanning technicians, the task of scan data cleanup basically involves these following steps in general: 1. scale, position and orient highpoly scan data to match production…
thank god i or most artists in general cant replicate 100% realism or likeness by hand sculpting or else all 3d scanning shops would go out of business. LOL
sure, Blizzard or Valve will also use 3d scanning for their projects may be. but none of that has anything to do with what i am saying. in general i know for a fact that a good company like Valve will tend to hire some one who can hand sculpt a 3d likeness rather than someone who only knows how to clean up scan data. i…
i dont get your point. my point is 3d scanning is cheap. it is done for a reason because it is cheap to save cost. that is why it doest deserve same respect as hand crafted model.
