Re: Cool painting - Bad concept - What 3d artists are looking for in concept art
Platinum games is another fantastic studio to look at. They actually talk about their design process quite a bit on their blog, which is pretty unusual for a Japanese team. Their stuff has clarity thanks to the line art ; the material definitions are there thanks to the use of efficient shading "codes" coming straight from… -
Re: Cool painting - Bad concept - What 3d artists are looking for in concept art
Of course ! I am referring to the inherent limitations of anime, which forces production studios to adopt very simplified/stylized representations of surface qualities in order to maintain them across hundreds of painted cels.

Ortho is great for characters but when it comes to complex enviroments its not really feasible maybe something like a zoomed out shot then a close up and that's all… -

Going to throw my two cents in here really fast. As someone who likes to do linework concept art I'm going to actually argue for the photobashed quick painted style a bit here. When a concept artist is told to make a design there is almost never a point of time that we have the final idea of what the client wants in their…
